In their words

  1. “The filmmaker as God, one who creates worlds and remakes the world through the cinema.” [2:54] Shadow of the Vampire (2000)
  2. “I chose to use original footage because together with the footage that I'm recreating, because I really wanted to bring together and show the fact that time is nonlinear.” [20:48] Shadow of the Vampire (2000)
  3. “I liken the art of the film director to the position of the bards and poets had centuries ago, where you're telling the tribe stories and poems and revealing dramas that illuminate some aspect of what it means to be alive, what it means to feel, and what it means to contemplate the unknowable.” [1:26:51] Shadow of the Vampire (2000)
