Philippe Grandrieux
“I never watched any rushes. Because I frame the shots and operate the camera, the images are directly inscribed on my retina.”
Sylvain George
“I make the films I want to see, films that I feel are an emergency; they are necessary.”
Chantal Akerman
“When people ask me if I am a feminist film maker, I reply I am a woman and I also make films.”
John Cassavetes
“The most difficult thing in the world is to reveal yourself, to express what you have to. As an artist, I feel that we must try many things - but above all we must dare to fail. You must be willing to risk everything to really express it all.”
Abel Ferrara
“I was raised a Catholic and when you're raised a Catholic they don't teach you to think for yourself...you're taught not to think too deeply about things.”
Yuriy Norshteyn
“Never allow oneself to remain the same – like a river, always renew yourself. I’m always wondering about the paths that would open animation to become a real dramatic art.”
Fred Kelemen
“They are just movies, individual artistic expressions, personal reflections of reality.”
Tsai Ming-liang
“The body always plays an important role in my films. You could say the body is the most beautiful thing we have or you could say it’s the ugliest thing we have. We can sell bodies, we can adore or worship bodies.”
Peter Hutton
“Practice, practice, practice and the camera becomes your eye and not so much this complicated technological thing to mediate to get an image.”
Carlos Saura
“...my work has a coherence within its incoherence because I've decided to work with elements that I know to the core, to work with characters and settings I've lived with.”
Jean Renoir
“A director makes only one movie in his life. Then he breaks it into pieces and makes it again.”
