What excites me about the future of Film is the history of its past. There have been so many great films and I have been privileged to see so many of them in my not inconsiderable lifespan. My recent viewing of some of the classics of the 30's, 40's and early 50's with David Lean, Powell and Pressburger, Merchant and Ivory convince me that there have always been great films and great film makers. More frecently watching the remarkable No Country for Old Men assures me that there always will be. Times may change and fashions will always be ephemeral. But creativity is eternal. As long as there are visionaries and creative geniuses, films will be made that will shock, delight, uplift and transform us to the degree that makes life an inspiration worth living.
