“We live in a time which has created the art of the absurd. It is our art. It contains happenings, Pop art, camp, a theater of the absurd... Do we have the art because the absurd is the patina of waste...? Or are we face to face with a desperate or most rational effort from the deepest resources of the unconscious of us all to rescue civilization from the pit and plague of its bedding?” ArtFacesEffortCivilizationWasteHappeningsArt IsResourcesTheaterPopsRationalAbsurdDesperateUnconsciousCampsRescueAbsurdityPlaguePitsFace To FacePop ArtBedding Author:Norman Mailer
“Narrative, fiction filmmaking is the culmination of several art forms: theater, art history, architecture. Whereas doc filmmaking is more pure cinema, like cinema verité is film in its purest form. You're taking random images and creating meaning out of random images, telling a story, getting meaning, capturing something that's real, that's really happening, and render this celluloid sculpture of this real thing. That's what really separates the power of doc filmmaking from fiction.” ArtRealStoriesFilmFormFictionPureCreatingHappeningsTheaterArchitectureNarrativeCinemaFilmmakingSculptureReal ThingsArt HistoryCulminationCelluloid Author:George Hickenlooper

“There should be a name for this, for the process whereby one knows one is being yanked and concedes it has been done successfully - that one is grateful to have been spun. In the theater, it is called the willing suspension of disbelief. That's what allows the play to make an impact on the audience: they have to be able to make believe that what's happening on the stage is really happening. Maybe to a degree it is a requirement for all political participation, all effective political communication, too.” KnowsShouldBelieveHas BeensDonePlayAblePoliticalNamesProcessAudienceStageWillingCommunicationDegreesHappeningsTheaterGratefulImpactRequirementsParticipationDisbeliefMake BelieveSpunSuspensionSuspension Of DisbeliefPolitical Participation Author:Peggy Noonan
“There's a rumbling with young artists and young filmmakers that are dying to get different points of view, different stories, out there.

“What's happening to movie critics is no different from what has been meted out to book, dance, theater, and fine-arts reviewers and reporters in the cultural deforestation that has driven refugees into the diffuse clatter of the Internet and Twitter, where some adapt and thrive - such as Roger Ebert - while others disappear without a twinkle.” InspirationalHas BeensArtBookDifferentFineInternetHappeningsTheaterDanceCriticsDisappearDrivenThriveReportersRefugeeRogerFine ArtsReviewersDeforestationMovie Critic Author:James Wolcott
