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).

Tarsem Singh, Filmmaker

“I told my father I wanted to study film and he said there was no way he was gonna let me do that. I made my way to Los Angeles, and made a film that won a scholarship to the Art Center College of Design. My father thought I was headed for Harvard. I called him and said, ‘I want to study film,’ and he said, ‘You don’t exist anymore’.”

"The secret name of cinema is transformation"

Cinema is “both a mirror and ever-expanding eye. It creates what it sees and destroys what it does not see...[it] is a lie which makes us see the truth"

Boy and Dog in a Johnypump - Jean-Michel Basquiat

“Boy and Dog in a Johnnypump is a monumental work dating from 1982, when Basquiat reached the zenith of his talent. As is usual in Basquiat, the composition is simple, but the whole painting is a neo-expressionist ‘tour-de-force’ in which the usually pleasant scene of a boy playing with his dog is painted with the rabid energy of a primitive work of Art.”

David Lynch and Film

"I like to make films because I like to go into another world. I like to get lost in another world. And film to me is a magical medium that makes you dream…allows you to dream in the dark. It’s just a fantastic thing, to get lost inside the world of film."

~ David Lynch, Filmmaker
