“As a viewer, that's work I respond to - work that I know is singular in some way. If I'm being challenged by something on screen, if I don't quite know why it's happening, I want to know I can do the work of pulling it apart and that there'll be something satisfactory about it. If the architecture is sound, you can be lyrical in execution.” IfsKnowsWayWantI CanSoundCan DoHappeningsArchitectureScreensExecutionPullingViewersLyrical Author:Shane Carruth

But if - through the construct of language, the way things are juxtaposed - there is some sort of disruption of the way you would normally go about reaching photographic images... if that is happening, that's fine.” IfsThinkingWayI CanWould BeLanguageToo MuchFineHappeningsAskingStructureIntentionReachingWorking ItViewersConstructsDisruptionAsking Too Much Author:Lorna Simpson
“I think change is happening in ways we can't anticipate yet because the whole generation of viewers who are viewing films - film may not be the appropriate word in years to come. I'm excited about the possibility of new types of storytelling; that to me is less daunting. I'm excited by how we'll evolve with those formats thematically, tonally and in narrative.” ThinkingWayYearsMayWholeFilmGenerationsPossibilityTypeHappeningsExcitedStorytellingEvolveNarrativeAppropriateViewersAnticipateFormat Author:Simon Kinberg
