“There is no crisis in cinema. There are negative periods. There are times when some films are received well and others aren't. The past teaches us that some films were received badly, while others go sailing on.” WellsPastFilmTeachPeriodsNegativeCrisisCinemaSailing Author:Vittorio De Sica

“There are advances in technology and enabling voices, but there are issues with the stories themselves. I think people of color are still not seen as human beings. They're still associated with types, with comedy, but we're in a crisis right now, with things like Black Lives Matter. We need films that address these issues.” PeopleThinkingNeedsHumansStillsMatterStoriesFilmBlackVoiceHuman BeingsTechnologyIssuesComedyColorTypeRight NowCrisisAddressesBlack Lives MatterEnablingBlack Lives Author:Charles Burnett
“So often times we see these films that erode human dignity...films that deny the transcendent moral order of the moral universe. They're always eroding natural affections for families. Fathers betray their commitments, children's are always portrayed as brats and disobedient, marriages are always in crisis and struggle. I think (for) most of us, that's not the lives we live. We're always being challenged, we always have challenges but we love our families, we love our spouse, we love our children.” ThinkingHumansChildrenFilmOrderUniverseFatherNaturalChallengesMoralStruggleCommitmentDignityOur ChildrenCrisisAffectionDenyOur FamilyBetraySpouseTranscendentHuman DignityErodeBratLove Our ChildrenLove Our Family Author:Jason Jones

Or Bamako, about the African debt crisis, a platform to discuss the experience of people who actually live it.

“Even before the economic crisis in Greece there was no structure for making films - no proper industry, and the structure didn't help filmmakers at all. So filmmakers had to help each other, and make very, very low-budget films. Now with the crisis, things got a bit worse, but filmmakers are still going to be making films. It didn't change that much.” HelpingFilmEconomicCrisisFilmmakerGreeceHelping Each Other Author:Yorgos Lanthimos
“The concept of a midlife crisis is a well known one perpetuated by books and films. And recently the idea of a quarter-life crisis, between 20 and 30, has also gained a fair amount of media coverage. But there's a surprising lack of robust research on these events, and almost none on later life crisis.” BookFilmCrisisWell Known Author:Oliver Robinson
“When I left university I was sure that I was going to be a painter. Then I had a crisis, a revelation. I saw Dolce Vita and my mind was blown by it, by the synthesis. I realised I wanted to be a filmmaker and started making films. I was writing screenplays and couldn't get money because my work was so uncommercial. I got married and started writing fiction. What was wonderful is that it gave me my freedom because no-one can tell me I can't work. Novels have become equally important to me as films. I consider myself a storyteller and passionately engaged in both of those disciplines.” WritingMindImportantFilmNovelWonderfulDisciplineMarriedCrisisPainterFilmmakerRevelationsStorytellerGet Money Author:Rebecca Miller

“Ninety-nine per cent of traditional English literature concerns people who never have to worry about money at all.
