Jean-Luc Godard
“A story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end... but not necessarily in that order. ”
Jim Jarmusch

Maya Deren
“The task of cinema or any other art form is not to translate hidden messages of the unconscious soul into art but to experiment with the effects contemporary technical devices have on nerves, minds, or souls.”
Ingmar Bergman
“Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls.”
David Lynch
“I don't think about technique. The ideas dictate everything. You have to be true to that or you're dead.”
