I tried to come up with ten titles that express a diverse range of explorations, as if each film were to offer an alternative path to the question of cinema: not of what it is, but of what it can be. Among these ten films, the popular dwells in the radical, and the radical rests in the popular. Cinema as a medium that allows us to touch the unknown confines of our material world, which are never separated from the sphere of dreams. And cinema as a means to push our borders into an imaginary space, which is never completely detached from the material world. Cinema — constantly impure. As Epstein once said: a work of the devil. And these ten films invoke a hell in which I would always want to burn.
