The vast technical background necessary
for creating cinematic stories, illuminating interviews with the greatest living filmmakers, in - depth analyses
of high quality movies... The material provided by Cahiers du Cinéma, Sight & Sound, Cinemagic, Cinefantastique and many others has inspired thousands
of people to dedicate their lives to filmmaking, and thanks to the wonders
of modern technology, these priceless cultural beams
of historic value and prime educational significance continue to inspire, astonish and enlighten us, bringing up a new
generation of artists who might persevere and thrive to one day fill the shoes
of the likes
of Orson Welles, Krzysztof Kieślowski, Jean - Pierre Melville, Agnes Varda, Paul Thomas Anderson, David Fincher and dozens
of others whose work continually delight and move us in every way
possible.
For all
of his separateness as an
artist, particularly in relationship to other
artists of his
generation, it behooves us to see Brodie's work both close - up and in the largest context
possible.
