Talking about Cinema

Cinema:
Experience is the art, expression is the craft. All good writing is intuitive writing . . . (And) principles (rules) begin to guide your intuition.”Learning scriptwriting has to be powered by your desire to write.” Structure will help you tell your story the way you want to."[pfc]

Don’t talk of motion pictures, talk of emotion pictures.
A film is not merely meant for amusement. A good film stays with you as a rich experience. It creates a certain impact: emotional, political or intelligent. Dibakar Banarjee mingles Hrishikesh da’s realistic “common man and his plight story” with a pinch of surrealistic humor and creates a unique style of his own. There is always a desire to achieve something and an obstacle in the way of it.

Quotes on Directing, Scriptwriting and Creativity.

Just for quote:
In the movie, The Killing(1956) the Russian wrestler Maurice, who delivers an interesting monologue about gangsters and artists being the same in the eyes of the masses. "They are admired and hero-worshipped, but there is always present an underlying wish to see them destroyed at the peak of their glory.”

A must read for those who concern that cinema must be seen with brain intact to body.
Festivals, Awards, Celebrities, Recognition – But where is Indian Cinema?
