It's More Enjoyable To Shoot

Mainstream Cinema Raises Questions Only To Immediately Provide An Answer To Them, So They Can Send The Spectator Home Reassured. If We Actually Had Those Answers, Then Society Would Appear Very Different From What It Is.

An Artist Is Someone Who Should Raise Questions Rather Than Give Answers. I Have No Message.

There Is Just As Much Evil In All Of Us As There Is Good. We're All Continuously Guilty, Even If We're Not Doing It Intentionally To Be Evil. Here We Are Sitting In Luxury Hotels, Living It Up On The The Backs Of Others In The Third World. We All Have A Guilty Conscience, But We Do Very Little About It.

I Try To Get Closer To Reality, To Get Close To The Contradictions. The Cinema World Can Be A Real World Rather Than A Dream World.

My Films Are Intended As Polemical Statements Against The American 'barrel Down' Cinema And Its Dis-empowerment Of The Spectator. They Are An Appeal For A Cinema Of Insistent Questions Instead Of False (because Too Quick) Answers, For Clarifying Distance In Place Of Violating Closeness, For Provocation And Dialogue Instead Of Consumption And Consensus.
