The Film Camera's Ability To Physically Move

As A Producer, I Think One Of The Most Important Decisions You Make Is Not Necessarily The Material You Are Working On But The Production Apparatus That You Choose To Develop The Project With, And That Determines What Funding You Go To, It Determines Many Factors.

I Think In The '80s, When I Started Making Films, We Were All Suspicious Of These Technologies. We Were All Convinced They Would Filter Out Any Emotion And Sense Of Intimacy, And The Films I Made During That Period Reflected That. In Fact, What Has Happened Is The Opposite. I Think We're Saturated With A Degree Of Intimacy We Would Never Have Expected, And We're Trying To Sort Through This Idea Of Complete Access To Each Other's Lives On An Ongoing Basis. Our Emotions Aren't Filtered Out At All. They're Actually Accelerated.

You Can Talk About Holocaust Denial, But It's Really Marginal For The Most Part. What Is Compelling About The Armenian Genocide, Is How It Has Been Forgotten.

I’m Armenian, And April 24th Was Another Commemoration Of The Genocide Of Armenia People By Turkey. The Perpetrator Never Admitted The Crime. I Was Raised With That, This Question: How Do You Actually Find The Truth Of Such A Traumatic Event? I'm Obsessed With That Issue.

I Just Think I Love The Process Of Making Films. It's Not Tortuous For Me At All. I Love Being With My Crew. I Love Actors. There's A Joy To The Process.
