To Shoot A Film Is To Organize

When We Experience A Film, We Consciously Prime Ourselves For Illusion. Putting Aside Will And Intellect, We Make Way For It In Our Imagination. The Sequence Of Pictures Plays Directly On Our Feelings. Music Works In The Same Fashion; I Would Say That There Is No Art Form That Has So Much In Common With Film As Music. Both Affect Our Emotions Directly, Not Via The Intellect. And Film Is Mainly Rhythm; It Is Inhalation And Exhalation In Continuous Sequence.

I Think I Have Made Just One Picture That I Really Like.

Self-portraiture Is Something One Should Never Get Involved In, Since It Is Wrong To Lie Even Though One Endeavours To Tell The Truth.

Film As Dream, Film As Music. No Form Of Art Goes Beyond Ordinary Consciousness As Film Does, Straight To Our Emotions, Deep Into The Twilight Room Of The Soul. A Little Twitch In Our Optic Nerve, A Shock Effect: Twenty-four Illuminated Frames A Second, Darkness In Between, The Optic Nerve Incapable Of Registering Darkness.

Today We Say All Art Is Political. But I'd Say All Art Has To Do With Ethics. Which After All Really Comes To The Same Thing. It's A Matter Of Attitudes.
