Comments
Add to these a few other works by filmmakers such as Tsai Ming-laing, Harun Farocki, Romuald Karmakar, Garin Nugroho, Chantal Akerman, Jean Rouche, Lars von Trier or Peter Watkins – films that enabled me to see the images of cinema as a culture. Furthermore, they are personal films and personal images: they became friends and fellow travellers. They are like passages – passages in time.
