David Lynch, Filmmaker

"All my movies are about strange worlds that you can't go into unless you build them and film them. That's what's so important about film to me. I just like going into strange worlds."

~ David Lynch, Filmmaker

Alexander Olch, Filmmaker

"What I’d learned through documentary was that if you can stay away from the lights and the actors and the sets, if you could find a way to tell the story with just the camera, then you can do it inexpensively."

~ Alexander Olch, Filmmaker

Jean-Luc Godard, Filmmaker

"The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t."

Jean-Luc Godard

Quoted in Richard Roud, Godard, introduction (1970).
