justice environmental balance
So to hope to be able to have peace, to be able to have justice and environmental balance, are consequences of our behavior, not just our intentions.
lack-of-love language film
So, not for lack of love of language, but because I feel our language is in an enormous state of humiliation, I decided to make films without words.
real illiterate-person people
In effect, I feel like a blind, deaf, and illiterate person working through the sensibilities and multiple, real talents of other people. Everything I do is collaborative.
technology politics etc
It's not just the effect of technology on the environment, on religion, on the economic structure, on society, on politics, etc. It's that everything now exists in technology to the point where technology is the new and comprehensive host of nature of life.
technology politics tools
All tools have intrinsic politics and technology is the tool of now.
technology light trying
What I'm trying to do is to at least raise a flag to the blinding light of technology.
technology
Technology is not neutral.
type i-can can-do
The only thing I can do is type. I learned that when I was 13.
trying looks facts
But in fact if you look at film as a metaphor, only through the negative can you have the positive print. What I'm trying to get to is the positive value of negation.
thinking tragedy tools
I think it's the tragedy of our time that we're not aware of the affect of the manner in which we've adopted tools. Those tools have become who we are.
warfare has-beens
History has been the history of warfare.
peace thinking world
I think it's naive to pray for world peace if we're not going to change the form in which we live.
people wish want
It is very easy to make clear what you want a film to say, but I did not wish to engage in overt propaganda, even for the right cause. I wanted to create an experience through the films, something where people could have the freedom of their own response to them.
technology use milieu
It's not that we use technology, we live technology.
