José Mojica Marins
“I was thinking a name: Josefel: “fel” ("gall") for being bitter and also Zanatas as a last name, because backward reads Satanas”
Royston Tan
“I want to surprise my audience every time, to let them know what I can do and to show them I don’t only make one kind of film.”
Martín Rejtman
“I tried to show things that Argentina cinema wasn’t showing. If everything was explained too much, I chose to be less discursive; if there was a lot of talking, I chose to talk less; if it was clear that there was no narrative system, that every scene was filmed as it came, I tried to be rigorous and to tell the story in a specific way.”
Nuri Bilge Ceylan
“In my films the landscapes connect the characters to a sense of something cosmic. I try to recapture those moments in life where you suddenly feel that connection to a wider universe.”
Herschell Gordon Lewis
“I see filmmaking as a business and pity anyone who regards it as an art form.”
Woody Allen
“Comedy just pokes at problems, rarely confronts them squarely. Drama is like a plate of meat and potatoes, comedy is rather the dessert, a bit like meringue.”
Garin Nugroho
[on the soundtrack from "Opera Jawa"] "This is the first film accompanied by an entirely gamelan soundtrack. The soundtrack of the film reflects how the medley of art, music and dance can work together to create something incredibly valuable like it does in Java. We live in an oral tradition, and if you come to Java you can see how song, dance and art all live together."
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.”
Jan Švankmajer
“I never call myself an animated filmmaker because I am interested not in animation techniques or creating a complete illusion, but in bringing life to everyday objects.”
Harmony Korine
“When I was a child the temptation to sin was always a romantic option. This romantic option lead me to the cinema, a place where sin was welcome.”
Buster Keaton
“I don't act anyway. The stuff is all injected as we go along. My pictures are made without script or written directions of any kind.”
Takashi Miike
“I don't think about the audience, I don't think about what makes them happy, because there's no way for me to know. They think of the audience as a mass, but in fact every person in the audience is different. So entertainment for everyone doesn't exist.”
John Woo
“The movies I like to make are very rich and full of passion. Some people see me as an action director, but action is not the only thing in my movies. I always like to show human nature - something deep inside the heart.”
