Quote of the Day
"I would like to recall to everyone that the motion picture camera and the whole motion picture medium was developed at about the same period and in the same climate as so did the development of the telegraph, and the airplane and all of these other industrial expressions of something that was happening in the mind of man which wanted to break some kind of confines... it reflects in film. This is its fascination for me.
"It would be so much easier to be a painter or a writer- [As a Filmmaker] you not only have the creative problems- you have the financial problems that they don't have, you have technical problems that they don't have, you have machines that are breaking down in the way that paint brushes don't break down. It's just a terrible thing to be a filmmaker.
"And if you ARE a filmmaker it's because there's something in the sheer medium that seems to be able to make some sort of statement that you particularly want to make, in which no other medium to you seems capable of making in the same way."
-Maya Deren 1917-1961
