Thomas Imbach
“I have never chosen to make a film based on a specific subject or strategy. There’s always a momentary flash of intuition. It’s like falling in love: you can never explain why it happened.”
Fritz Lang
“I should say that I was a visual person. I experience with my eyes and never, or rarely, with my ears...to my constant regret.”
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.”
Jacques Rivette
“What's important for me in a film is that it be alive, that it be imbued with presence, which is basically the same thing. And that this presence, inscribed within the film, possesses a form of magic. There's something profoundly mysterious in this.”
Gus Van Sant
“I have my ideas of what a good documentary is, but drama is a different animal because you're arranging everything.”
Harun Farocki
“Ten years on it’s always the article on the back of the newspaper cutting that’s of interest, but half a column is missing.”
Nanni Moretti
“Who doesn't speak well doesn't think well and doesn't live well! It's necessary to find the right words: words are important! ”
Pier Paolo Pasolini
“The mark which has dominated all my work is this longing for life, this sense of exclusion, which doesn't lessen but augments this love of life.”
Federico Fellini
“What is an artist? A provincial who finds himself somewhere between a physical reality and a metaphysical one...”
Roberto Rossellini
“I am not a pessimist; to perceive evil where it exists is, in my opinion, a form of optimism.”
Nam June Paik
“Skin has become inadequate in interfacing with reality. Technology has become the body’s new membrane of existence.”
Michael Snow
“If there are ‘narrative cinema’ elements in my films I don’t want them to take you ‘elsewhere’ but to keep you here watching the film, a construct, an artificiality.”
