Why do I make films? Well, I don't make films, but I judge films and I run a film festival
in Paris. Films because I love independent cinema, I love creative minds, I love creative
people and, you know, great story, well-tell, there's all that I'm waiting and I'm looking
for.
I like production and I think it's good to work as a team and I like cinema.
I make films because it gives me pleasure, because it's also a way to protest, to be
rebellious and change the world.
I love animation very much. Animation is my favorite stuff, which I do. This is my
behavior, this is my hobby, which grows to my profession. Thank you very much. What
is it, my life?
I've been thinking about this answer since yesterday when I came to ask, I don't know, because
it bothers me and it bothers me, but it's nothing else.
Well, I make counting films, as I said yesterday, because after living many years in the
world of animation, it's impossible not to do it too. I think that's it.
I make films because I like to make films, I like to research, especially what our
sculptures there on Earth, to spread through documentaries and everything, because of
that I really like to make films.
I make films because I found, through cinema, a way to communicate some ideas, to communicate
some experiences, because I go through them and transform them, in my particular case,
to be an animation, transform them, transmit them in an original way, because through
animation I can really do something original. I think that's it.
Ok, I do what I want to do, because it's good, I have to transmit my ideas, because it
goes from inside to outside, and that's it.
Ok, in fact, I make cinema because it's the way through which I can explore my
thoughts and give my vision of the world.
Let's see, with pleasure.
I don't know.
Well, I don't make films actually, I study films, but I think what we are here with,
these people are here because there are people who love watching movies, and so we make movies
and we study movies. Today we are movies and tomorrow maybe, I don't know, maybe our
stand and our daughter will watch us, who knows.
Because what I did, and now I do it again, I do it because it's the only thing that
frees me from many problems in life, and it's a way to face life with joy and extend
my age.
Because I like doing it, because I integrate my research into anthropology, because for me
it's extremely important to return to what I film, to what I study, to the people
who study what I film.
Why do I make films?
To engorde.
To engorde a lot.
And because I think that under the film there is a reality in which we all are much
more fat.
I don't make films, I'm a photographer.
Because I make films for love.
I make films for love.
It's a way to say that you are in love with people and the world.
That's why I make films.
Really?
Because I don't know how to do anything else.
I'm a photographer, but making films is one kind of catharsis.
Do you know what it means?
Ok.
Probably because I like it, and I like it around us.
That's why we do it ourselves.
First of all, I think it's a way of thinking about the world and also a way of exorcism.
I think it takes 30 seconds or so.
My study was multimedia technology.
It was very, very great.
And I like to make videos and photos and documentary films and films for children.
It's very nice.
I really like making films because my study was related to multimedia technologies.
And I really like doing what people like and what they like to watch.
For me, when I first listened to this question, actually it was deceptively simple.
I thought almost overly simplistic.
The reality is why we make films has a deep profundity as to what is the deeper reason
that filmmaking has been the dominant art of the 20th and the 21st century.
For me, it represents a plasticity of time, place, consciousness.
And it becomes a kind of outward appearance of our own inner thinking,
using all of the technology that has been accumulating over the history of mankind.
And that is my answer in 30 seconds.
I can start. Honestly, I don't know anymore. I started making films because I thought it was important to say certain things.
I think later we make films because it becomes a vice.
So sometimes we forget if it's important or not what we have to say.
It's just a vice. It's like tobacco, it's not what you drink.
Okay, I think that's not the right question. I think the right question would be why not to make films?
Because Jesus told me...
Ah, I don't make films. But I do watch them and I love them.
So I enjoy people who make films because they entertain me and that's good.
I don't make films.
I speak French, I don't make films. I'm here to intervene as part of the conference.
So I did a presentation on David Lynch and I'm here for that.
Okay, I produce films because I love to connect people who can't say something because of the language, because of the geography.
But I play films to connect people all over the world.
Make your best movies and try to your best.
I make movies because I like to hear more people in my language.
I don't make films, but I do theater with films.
Why do I make films? Is it because it's important to condense life and show something more intense than it is in reality?
I make more films because I like people who can't tell me, so I often kinda say,
I don't give films, I'm an
I make movies because more people can hear my language
I make movies because more people can hear my language
