I earn my living by teaching film, mostly filmmaking but also teaching courses on current cinema. I'm interested in movies. I hope that's not all I'm interested in. In that sense, it's maybe a little misleading. I don't expect to make another movie about films, but I may continue to write about them.

Thom AndersenFor me, the main point is that reality is rich. We can respond to it more immediately and directly, in ways where there's less displacement between representation and reality.
