Jonas Mekas

“In Lithuania, I am known as a poet, and they don’t care about my cinema. In Europe they don’t know my poetry; in Europe, I am a filmmaker. But here, in the United States, I am only a maverick!”

Chris Marker

“Rarely has reality needed so much to be imagined.”

 
W120

Abbas Kiarostami

“But in all, I don't like to engage in telling stories. I don't like to arouse the viewer emotionally or give him advice. I don't like to belittle him or burden him with a sense of guilt. These are the things I don't like in the movies.”

 
W120

Lucrecia Martel

“From the very beginning, even when I’m writing, I think a lot about the sound. Many elements of my work in cinema come from oral storytelling and oral tradition. I think about sound and the rhythm of the sound.”

Éric Rohmer

“I do not say, I show. I show people who move and speak.”

 
W120

Luc Dardenne

“Of course, we always hope our films will speak to people, disturb them, but we never hoped to change the world”

 
W120

Jean-Pierre Dardenne

“The truth is always less interesting than the fiction.”

Yasujirô Ozu

“I formulated my own directing style in my own head, proceeding without any unnecessary imitation of others… For me there was no such thing as a teacher. I have relied entirely on my own strength.”

Michelangelo Antonioni

“Hollywood is like being nowhere and talking to nobody about nothing.”
