I have gotten used to looking at reality in an artistic way, especially through the viewpoint of painting. When I look at nature, I see a frame of painting. I see everything from an aesthetic angle. Even when I am in a taxi looking out of the window, I put everything in a frame. This is the way I see painting, photography and film – all interrelated and connected. The movie industry captures reality in frames. For me particularly, painting is a source of diversity, and refuge from daily life. When tired, everyone seeks refuge in something. For me painting is that form of refuge – a place to go and entertain myself and perhaps recreate reality in an aesthetic sense.

-Abbas Kiarostami

This year sucks.

“To please the majority is the requirement of the Planet Cinema. As far as I’m concerned, I don’t make a concession to viewers, these victims of life, who think that a film is made only for their enjoyment, and who know nothing about their own existence.”

R.I.P. Andrzej Zulawski, 1940 – 2016

“Life is a mixture of sad and happy things. Movies are so life-like, that’s why we love them […] My uncle says we live three times as long since man invented movies […] It means movies give us twice what we get from daily life.”
