Maurice Pialat
“What I try to do, with the actors' consent, is to create something by beginning with a set situation that we can deviate from in the course of the shoot. ”
Govindan Aravindan
“No work of art directly or indirectly changes society or human beings. However, cinema has the power to influence the human mind.”
Leonardo Favio

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.”
Robert Kramer

Noriaki Tsuchimoto

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.”
