“An artist should be able to create his own autonomous world, but making a film depends on so many extraneous factors that I don’t really think it’s an authentic form of art.”
Lester James Peries
“I feel that the cinema has done much more for me than I have done for the Sri Lankan cinema. It played a role in bringing me back home and to my roots, and helped me get closer to the Sri Lankan people. I owe the cinema a lot. Sometimes I wonder whether I`ve been specially favoured.”
Ermanno Olmi
“...our wars of machines and technology make 'progress' ever more impersonal and deadly - a 'progress' that has not guaranteed man's human, moral, and civil growth.”
Patrick Keiller
“As usual, the question is not whether to argue for materiality or virtuality, but how best to negotiate their reciprocity.”
Cristi Puiu
“I’m not like other directors who don’t allow their actors to watch. I let them have one scene their way, one for me, then allow them to compare. I don’t choose actors for their appearance or ability in dancing or whatever, but because of their intelligence.”
Abderrahmane Sissako
“I film people passing by, people I may never see again.... but who leave their mark on me and on others, immortalized on film.”
Wu Wenguang
“I have always looked at the reality of my life, of the situations I found myself in. It is difficult to express, but the documentary is real life for me and in the process of making documentaries I feel that I am facing real life and in this way I do not try to avoid it; I do not try to escape it and that makes be braver – this is very important. I am the person I am through this experience.”
