'Contemplatieve Cinema' volgens de Filmkrant en Mevrouw Linssen.C(ontemporary)C(ontemplative)C(inema) is not a genre, it is a (minimal) narrative mode, with a very particular aesthetic stylistics.That is why we can find a lot of various so-called "genres", albeit quite diluted with transgressed conventions, within the CCC family. The films that could be loosely related to one or several genre conventions, still retain the strict technical profile of Contemplative Cinema : Wordlessness, Slowness, Plotlessness, Alienation. Even if these films might hint at certain genre structures (in a very minimal way), they do not use illustrative music, plot-driving dialogue, action packed scenes, build-up and climax, denouement, star-system actors... at least for the most part.
