Leonardo Favio
“I suppose that every person who is devoted to painting, to visual arts in general, searches an aesthetic, but it is impossible to find an aesthetic that has not been touched by anyone.”
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.”
Margot Benacerraf
““Araya” is part of a triptych that would form a larger feature film depicting life in three areas of Venezuela: the Andes mountains, the plains and the coast. But for the coastal segment, I didn’t want to show a stereotypical “exotic” landscape, lush with palm trees. Our search led us to the arid Arayan peninsula.”
Robert Kramer
“Walk the Walk is built on the idea that the objects are much more imposing and permanent than our bodies; that our bodies are extremely fragile and transient against this monstrous cage that we’ve constructed for ourselves, made of all the machines and technology and objects that clutter the planet.”
Noriaki Tsuchimoto
“No matter when or what you say, since it's probably related to what you are wanting to say, I make that unfinished thought or whisper, the change of a small expression very important.”
Emmanuelle Demoris
“A main point for me in making films is to show the world in its complexity; not to protect us from it, not to cover its disorders with a fake explanatory order; but on the contrary, to offer its richness so the audience may be free to find its own way in it.”
Alexander Kluge
“We don't perceive a contradiction between writing books, making films or producing a television program. These days you can't choose how you want to express yourself anymore.”
Lee Chang-dong
“There’s no question that ‘Green Fish’ and ‘Peppermint Candy’ draw on the political and economic problems of Korea. But they weren’t my main focus. My main interest has always been human beings. I believe film is the best medium to show something about human beings.”
Hans-Jürgen Syberberg
“German intellectuals treat me as if I were the enemy. They do not want to hear about what I believe lies at the heart of German identity.”
Edgar Reitz
“In my film work it is always important to have a completely authentic way of describing people’s situations. I use people’s own personal experience, their surroundings and the way they lived.”
