The film "The Five Obstructions" was an interesting view on how art influences art. The main point I took from the film was that leaving your comfort zone might be uncomfortable but the results could bring you to creating a new masterpiece. In the film the famous director Jorgen Leth is asked to remake his acclaimed film "The Perfect Human" five different times, each of which must follow specific rules or obstructions. In the art world you may be commissioned to make a specific piece that would require you to hold to certain obstructions as well. I would recommend the film to anyone looking to expand their artistic process.
