Nationality: German

So I am getting a little bored with defining one type of film as American and the other European or from somewhere else because the division is no longer true.

   

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.

   

On the contrary a film can promote the idea of change without any political message whatsoever but in its form and language can tell people that they can change their lives and contribute to progressive changes in the world.

   

It's very hard to find critics or a magazine today that will publish material that is genuinely independent and written without any concern about being cut off some distributor's list or not be invited or flown into screenings.

   

Movies are something people see all over the world because there is a certain need for it.

   

The culture of independent film criticism has totally gone down the drain and this seems to come with the territory of the consumer age that we are now living in.

   

I'm getting a little bored by the juxtaposition of American and other cinema. I no longer think this division is as true as it might have been in the 1980s, or the early part of the 90s.

   

In fact, it is amazing how much European films - Italian, French, German and English - have recovered a certain territory of the audience in their countries over the last few years.

   

Film is a very, very powerful medium. It can either confirm the idea that things are wonderful the way they are, or it can reinforce the conception that things can be changed.

   

For us music is mainly part of the entertainment world and is often a luxury.

   

Cinema is a worldwide phenomenon.
