Chinua Achebe "Art is man's constant effort to create for himself a different order of reality from that which is given to him." Rainer Werner Fassbinder "So certainly, if we can tell evil stories to make people sick, we can also tell good myths that make them well." Wim Wenders "Entertainment today constantly emphasises the message that things are wonderful the way they are. But there is another kind of cinema, which says that change is possible and necessary and it's up to you." |
