“The cinema of Hollywood is a cinema of exclusion, reduction and denial, a cinema of repression. There is always something behind that which is being represented, which was not represented. And it is exactly that that is most interesting to consider.”
Gunvor Nelson
“I have made both surrealistic and expressionistic films, but I prefer the term “personal film.”
Bill Morrison
“The frame pauses briefly before the projector’s lamp, and then moves on. Our lives are accumulations of ephemeral images and moments that our consciousness constructs into a reality.”
Marie Menken
“There is no why for my making films. I just liked the twitters of the machine, and since it was an extension of painting for me, I tried it and loved it.”
Robert Frank
“Black and white are the colors of photography. To me they symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever subjected. ”
Peter Kubelka
“I like the extremes so to speak: either a cinema which is occupied by intelligence and specificity of the medium, or a fully Hollywood film, with its great means, it’s spectacular tricks and it’s stupidity of cutting, the banality of its content, etc.”
Gregory J. Markopoulos
“For me, locations and beautiful people have always been the backbone of my work.”
Len Lye
“One of my art teachers put me onto trying to find my own art theory. After many morning walks…an idea hit me that seemed like a complete revelation. It was to compose motion, just as musicians compose sound. [The idea] was to lead me far, far away from wanting to excel in…traditional art.”
Peter Hutton
“Practice, practice, practice and the camera becomes your eye and not so much this complicated technological thing to mediate to get an image.”
Guy Debord
“In societies where modern conditions of production prevail, all of life presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles. Everything that was directly lived has moved away into a representation.”
