Zitat des Tages von Lucy Walker:
I don't believe in objectivity. I observe the observer's paradox every moment I'm filming. Your presence is changing everything; there's no mistaking it. And you have a responsibility.
There are still people who have an issue working with a woman director. Women can be viewed as 'difficult' even though they work in the same way as men.
My main trick is to work with amazing people. It's a long and twisty journey, and you need people that really are amazing and have this rare gift of honesty and courage and really open up.
I remember when the Berlin Wall fell and suddenly intractable problems get solved.
The world needs more women filmmakers, so we have to keep encouraging ourselves and one another, and eventually things must get easier for us.
I love great locations in movies, and I couldn't believe I'd never seen a landfill on screen before. It was the most haunting place.
I can't help seeing 'Waste Land' as the third in a triptych with my earlier films 'Devil's Playground' and 'Blindsight,' and not least in the awe and gratitude I feel for the group of people who were courageous enough to share their stories with us - and to live lives so rich in inspiration for us all.
The world of extreme sports is also one of big business. Kids might think that snowboarding is the ultimate freedom, but this freedom is being marketed to them by commercial sponsors.
Extreme sports tricks are becoming increasingly complex, the courses ever more challenging and crashes all too common.
I love making fiction films as well as nonfiction ones, and hope to keep challenging myself to make better and better work.
I have always been interested in garbage: What it says about us. What in there embarrasses us, and what we can't bear to part with. Where it goes and how much of it there is. How it endures. What it might be like to work with it every day.
With portable cameras and affordable data and non-linear digital editing, I think this is a golden age of documentary filmmaking. These new technologies mean we can make complicated, beautifully crafted and cinematic films about real-life stories.
I think we have become oversaturated with tired fictional narratives.
