Writing & film quotes:
'I'm just writing it down, because otherwise it's going to get stuck'
From Memoria: I heard it in Tilda Swinton's voice amongst a dissonance of other sounds in the film's final auditory sequence.
'Cinema is all writing, it's just different forms of writing. The nature of the writing is the film. Through the process of casting or choosing colours, you're writing the film'
This comment stood out from this conversation between filmmakers at MIFF: www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/the-screen-show/alena-lodkina-goran-stolevski-thomas-m-wright/13999668
'Cinematography is a writing with images in movement and with sounds'
From Robert Bresson's Notes on the Cinematograph. In another interview, Bresson goes on to say that a film is less a play than it is an act of writing... the camera is a tool for creation, not reproduction.
