FILM

Episode of the series The Century of cinema, commissioned by the British Film Institute.

“Why pay homage to cinema? Hasn’t it been celebrated enough, or is that no longer so? I don’t like commemorations. I make cinematographic (his)stories because I've occupied this terrain a bitand because nobody ever told me what I was doing there. Honoring implies, in a sense, to exaggerate the value of something that has been neglected or forgotten, as a way to make up for it in an honorable way. Understand me well, I have nothing against festivities, but if cinema were to be what it should have been, it would be just fine without them."
