Cinema

Hayao Miyazaki Animator, Director

"I am an animator. I feel like I'm the manager of a animation cinema factory. I am not an executive. I'm rather like a foreman, like the boss of a team of craftsmen. That is the spirit of how I work."

Francis Ford Coppola Film Director, Producer, Screenwriter

"When you make a film it is like asking yourself a question. When it is finished, you know the answer. Ultimately with all of cinema, we are just trying to learn about ourselves. I have always used the opportunity to make a film to learn more about myself, which I am still doing."

Francis Ford Coppola Film Director, Producer, Screenwriter

"Anyone who's made film and knows about the cinema has a lifelong love affair with the experience. You never stop learning about film."

Andrei Tarkovsky Film Director, Screenwriter

"A literary work can only be received through symbols, through concepts - for that is what words are; but cinema, like music, allows for utterly direct, emotional, sensuous perception of the work."
