Auf die Frage, was nach dem Kino kommt, antworten wir meist: Computerspiele. Und
tatsächlich deutet vieles (der Hype um Doom 3 und Half-Life 2, der enorme Erfolg
erster Serien wie Red vs Blue oder die explodierenden Userzahlen der zahlreichen
Machinima-Foren; vor allem natürlich die Weigerung der Filmindustrie, die blosse
Existenz neuer und unabhängiger Formen digitaler Produktion und Distribution zur
Kenntnis zu nehmen) darauf hin, dass mit Grafik-Engines populärer Computerspiele
hergestellte Filme in den kommenden Jahren von einem bizarren Fringe-Phänomen zu
einem Feuilletons und Kulturkanäle verstopfenden Mainstreamthema werden dürften.
                                                                                
Sie können dann behaupten, Sie hätten die "Klassiker" des Genres bereits 2004 im
Pirate Cinema gesehen. Zu sehen ist vor allem, dass sich das Computerspiele-Kino
noch in seiner Anfangsphase befindet: der Konflikt zwischen Lumière und Méliès -
also zwischen einem realistischen und einem phantastischen Games-Kino - ist noch
kaum entwickelt (zwar beginnt sich das Genre in "Soaps" und "Fantasy" zu teilen,
doch während "reales Leben" meist mit den Mitteln des Theaters dargestellt wird,
wird in Phantasie-Welten viel öfter einfach die virtuelle Kamera draufgehalten),
eine Spaltung zwischen "französischen" und "deutschen" - dh. impressionistischen
und expressionistischen - Filmen hat gerade erst begonnen und noch keine eigenen
Schulen hervorgebracht (eine "russische" ist erst recht noch nicht auszumachen -
was wir, je nachdem, für die grösste Leerstelle oder das in 2005 interessanteste
Betätigungsfeld halten), und die besten Momente des Computerspielfilms entstehen
zur Zeit noch immer dann, wenn er sich das letztältere Medium (Kino) einverleibt
und dessen Einstellungen, Kamerafahrten und Schnitte eins zu eins rekonstruiert.
                                                                                
Falls Sie also am Abend des zweiten Weihnachtsfeiertages in der Stadt sind, dann
empfehlen wir Ihnen einen Besuch in der Ziegelstrasse. Sie können dort auch Ihre
Archive vervollständigen und (besonders toll!) unsere neue Heizung ausprobieren.
