	Being a Millennial, I grew up with classic news outlets on radio, newspapers and television as well with the rise of news outlet in online and on-demand channels. Sharing blogs and social-media is giving everybody the ability to share information freely online. The natural filter of finance (paying for each second of airtime) is obsolete. Even though this filter may not be perfect, but the scarcity of resources required publishers to consider what they are publishing. That means we are coping with much more information: NYTimes alone is publishing 1,500+ articles per day (including those from AP, Reuters and son on). With these physical and financial filters gone, we are left at the mercy of algorithms and advertising deals that reward attention rather than education. The result is clickbait and publications being forced to vie for views.

	Then I did the short film (duration of five minutes) with the title ''The Gifted Horse'' for the screening at the EYE Amsterdam (Fig 7.). The visual style is low-key, black-and-white, sometimes also showing grain and light leaks that were very present during post-war cinema. The sujet is the portrait of an actress that is representing the German actress/singer Hildegard Knef. The short film links in some scenes to the cynicism usually present in film noir during the post-war realistic period. Since the actress is recalling her career from a modern perspective, the post-war era is being contrasted by using an aspect ratio of 16:9, which is representative for the nowadays cinematic context.

By reducing the filmed space to a single room/hallway and reducing the colors to black and white I was coping with abstraction.
