Rian Johnson
“Dialogue is something I really enjoy; in some ways I feel like I enjoy it too much and that's one thing I've been trying to work on as a writer, not saying everything with dialogue and trying to pull back on it.”
Djibril Diop Mambéty
“The word griot... is the word for what I do and the role that the filmmaker has in society...the griot is a messenger of one's time, a visionary and the creator of the future.”
Tomas Alfredson
“The soundscape is fifty percent of the experience. Any kid can nowadays easily point out where and how you’ve made certain visual effects, but very rarely what they’ve experienced with their ears. This is still an enormous orchestra to conduct, which is in the dark for the audience.”
Kaneto Shindô
“My mind was always on the commoners, not on the lords, politicans, or anyone of name and fame. I wanted to convey the lives of down-to-earth people who live like weeds.”
Govindan Aravindan
“No work of art directly or indirectly changes society or human beings. However, cinema has the power to influence the human mind.”
Aleksandr Petrov
“Painting is very sensual…I use only five or six colors, combining and recombining them, to get the look of spring. ”
Carmelo Bene
“[Cinema] it’s the celebration of the Lumière Brothers. That is: since the Lumière period, what has come out of it? If you exclude that minimum of "self-fright” sought at all costs, or that hint of bewilderment in certain African tribes, at the sight of that train. The Lumières… I think their commemoration goes on since 19th century. The same one which has been perpetuated.”
Jorge Sanjinés
“We live a true social, collective insurrection. A historical phenomenon without precedent in the world, and which thus has a significant importance.”
Pipilotti Rist
“Knowledge and art can enlighten people and make them think democratically and makes them less vulnerable to power misuse. I want to contribute a centimetre to that tendency.”
