For me cinema is not primarily entertainment. I don't watch fun blockbusters myself.
Ivan TverdovskyI myself often feel that I have a tail in my pants. And I can see that many people do it as well, I am sure some of them simply wrap it around themselves.
Ivan TverdovskyI think the line between "inspiration" and "plagiarism" is often so thin, that you risk falling into the latter one.
Ivan TverdovskyI am very grateful that the Russian budget has a yearly budget for film. And usually this budget goes to "auteur" cinema, which actually needs this support and which indeed contributes to creating "national culture".
