Julien Temple
“I'm just trying to find another way of doing it. Treat each time as though you know nothing about the form.”
Lars von Trier
“I think it's important that we all try to give something to this medium, instead of just thinking about what is the most efficient way of telling a story or making an audience stay in a cinema.”
Alan Parker
“Making a film is so hard that if you don't have your main actors going along with the ride with the rest of the crew it can make your life very difficult.”
Samuel Fuller
“Movement should be a counter, whether in action scenes or dialogue or whatever. It counters where your eye is going. This style thing, for me it's all fitted to the action, to the script, to the characters.”
Robert J. Flaherty
“Sometimes you have to lie. One often has to distort a thing to catch its true spirit.”
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.”
Kathryn Bigelow
“I've spent a fair amount of time thinking about what my aptitude is, and I really think it's to explore and push the medium. It's not about breaking gender roles or genre traditions.”
Chris Cunningham
“All I ever do is talk about films and then not make them. As a result I thought: just shut up about it—make a film then talk about it when it's done.”
Jim Sheridan
“I've seen thousands of films where people are brought down, where it's "life is terrible and we all agree" and the critical audience is over here for that, and the general public is over here. And it seems that cinema has gone out, or life, has gone out a kilter.”
John Carpenter
“In France, I'm an auteur; in Germany, a filmmaker; in Britain, a genre film director; and, in the USA, a bum.”
Gustav Deutsch
“[about FILM IST.] I’m not interested in the content of these scientific films. I am interested in the meaning that is given by the image. I wanted to detect the poetry and the power of the images of very straight-forward, rational, scientific movies.”
Roberto Benigni
“Charlie Chaplin used his ass better than any other actor. In all his films his ass is practically the protagonist. For a comic, the ass has incredible importance.”
Lech Majewski
“Always what I’m trying to do with cinema is trying to create a sense of painting. That’s my lost world of painting that I’m accessing by film.”
