Frequently Asked Questions

What perspectives on art are covered in this collection?
A few distinct takes - being an artist "to the core" with a goal of elevating humanity, art shaping personal character, and two versions of the idea that film "is not the art of scholars but of illiterates" and should be watched straight on.
Is there a quote about art and personal identity?

Is there a quote specifically about film as art?
Yes - in fact there are two closely related versions of the same idea, both arguing that film "is not the art of scholars but of illiterates" and should be looked at straight on rather than over-analyzed.
