Víctor Erice
“I think that among the arts, cinema is the least known. Its history is generally ignored, and so is, above all, its real nature. As cinema is the most secret of all artistic languages, it is also the least understood.”
Andrei Tarkovsky
“Juxtaposing a person with an environment that is boundless, collating him with a countless number of people passing by close to him and far away, relating a person to the whole world, that is the meaning of cinema.”
Steve McQueen
“My influences come from real life. I’m not interested in cinema for cinema’s sake. I’m interested in life—what one does and how one interacts.”
Nacho Cerdà
“I would never want to lose the spontaneity when making films, your instinct is the most valuable thing in this job and I’d like to keep it alive to the very last day.”
Glauber Rocha
“Cinema Novo stood with the Brazilian utopia. If it is ugly, irregular, dirty, confusing and chaotic, it is also beautiful, disharmonic, luminous and revolutionary.”
Rúnar Rúnarsson
“That feeling of standing on the edge of a cliff and having to reach the other side. When a character has to make an important decision or is forced to act, for better or for worse, he sets off big changes in his life. It's not just fiction. We all have to go through a transitory period like this.”
Béla Tarr
“I think censorship is always there. Then it was the censorship of the state and now it's the censorship of the market.”
Harmony Korine
“What I remember myself from films, and what I love about films, is specific scenes and characters.”
Bertrand Bonello
“Mythology was the result of a polytheist society, today the oracle of my film who tells people their future clashes with Church dogma.”
Christophe Honoré
“I’m not a child of the New Wave. I am a grandchild of the New Wave, so I can afford to be more arrogant, light-hearted and playful with the legacy.”
Jean Rollin
“The fantastic cinema is always a good vehicle for discussing certain political ideas in the form of symbols and metaphors.”
Frederick Wiseman
“There are lots of different ways to make film. I don’t believe there has to be any orthodox way to making movies, or any rules. It’s what works for the filmmaker, and, theoretically, the audience.”
