Description
"Filmmaking has always been a journey into the unknown for me. Each new film demands its own trajectory. I can start with a particular idea, then, after developing the first 30 meters of film, the images show me the direction to take or avoid.
There is always a kind of attraction between me and the filmed material, something opens up. If everything works well and the images connect to me and I can almost hear the sound they desire, it's an incredible exhilaration that runs through body and mind. To sum up: my approach to cinema is above all organic. Films are a synthesis of intellect and emotion, filtered through the plastic material of film. I try to let the images rise freely to the surface."
