I like films which aspire to nothingness. I like the English footballer Cole Palmer's advert for Burberry, where he fishes in silence for nine minutes. I also like the Irish playwright Samuel Beckett's mute interview for Swedish television. But Zen for Film (1964), which is just a white screen, doesn't do much for me. That feels like hubris in capturing nothingness; we can but gesture.
