Q1 Which one film would you wish to share with future generations?
Otto e mezzo
Federico Fellini
Italy-France 1963
Italy-France 1963
A harried movie director retreats into his memories and fantasies.
Fellini's Otto e mezzo (8 1/2). It's a mirror and a portrait - and maybe sometimes you can remember forgotten bits of your deeper, thicker layer when you see it. It shows us how everything is just the play of shadows and memories and desires.
Q2 What excites you about the future of the moving image?
In the future I only hope for cinema which makes us remember our humanness - cinema which penetrates all the layers and crusts.
