the cinema if when you live in them studio and you do need cinema you can just look out of the window your switch of the light in your room a look out of the wind early was. the red light district to kill us and you often think about this. i made a movie not so ago called prosperous books and it was the most profound line said by the character prosper he said and now let my every third thought be of the grave i don't walk around carrying a skull and sleeping in a coffin but it's my next great adventure. what do you know about death you know anything about i think there are only two subject matters and i'm sure you could agree one is sex and the others death their greeks have a good way of saying it they refer to the infinite us the very very beginning and the very very end and that's all the unless your name is salvador dali i don't think you can claim to be really sentience really around at the moment of your conception and i think perhaps the moment of death you know the banishing point and how can we understand what that vanishing point about you know about sex suggested there was

of text in cinema and us to really number one to really number two. a cinema works with a frame we are now in a frame here frame is totally artificial there's no equivalent whatsoever in nature when i look at you i don't see you in a frame when you look at me you don't see me in a frame it's much more so. sedating complicated you know that my work is what i want my work your friend don't know know i've always said that to my students our work is to widen the view beyond that for a while noting that you've got to multiply the many famously god said when you go to the cinema two thirds of the world behind your head because you're only looking in one direction how on earth can that be a representation of life very very miserably he also said you know we go to the cinema in the dark you know what the hell are you doing in the dark manslaughter nocturnal animals so we have to explode that idea my third terrenate would be you know we have to change the position of the actor in the cinema the cinema is not a playground for sharon stone it is a lot mat that's

so there's the future of cinema look or like. is it the last battle of arts where the bread and circus will discuss it with award winning filmmaker here with a little help from francis ford. for a few years by now lots of special effects and three d. have been winning minds and turning films into instant cash cow to acknowledge only makes movies look cool but critics say the trend is scary because the rush for spectacular makes good acting and story they need to wait while hollywood continues to struggle for. the quality of filmmaking is moving to the independent american studios and the european box. to with more and more films taking the most prestigious international. welcome to the show. you said people think the trisha's biggest problem is the real shortage of money in other words this is in reality you say. we're suffocating in a cultural vacuum in other words the problem is your moral deficiency well it's so my question is what religion has been a prominent theme in the last three films first the oland and tsar and now the

and then there's the independent cinema which you know people who really love. to do work in that would rather be in but the audiences. the audience favors the commercial cinema because the audience has many options either table you know or in the old days people went to the movies that was entertainment but now they watch television they can watch movies that's entertainment they could follow politics that's entertainment they can do sports that's entertainment they could go to the saving z.m. shows that's good entertainment. how do you manage to find a happy medium for all fields are not like mass produced one just the know just printed same and people like them it's all sold out i don't know i'm not sure there are that popular. anyway i don't know how it works but these two therms there are special just to kill i don't know how to answer this question all i know is that any kind of film can be good except a boring one spool sleeve i don't like boring films but by the way he's very good at making studio films to do that you know he was one of the few directors

a little out from francis this telling us about modern cinema. is a difficult to make films of the kind that you make given that you work in russia quality films capable of attracting large audiences films with a message and a mission in films you would not be ashamed of you've been successful so far but as you've said commercial films are still winning over the audiences how does that happen if. it's a matter of personal choice. i must say that the moment is the government helping us to receive bronze and so on yes do you think i should be financed by the state but she needs to be done that's the principle on which european film funding is based it was invented in france your. cinema use funded with government grants entirely a large nation is defined by the movies it makes at the they realized that they needed government support in order to preserve their culture their language is the voice of rending to hollywood yes to avoid surrendering to hollywood globalization to go all realize that back after the end of world war two during diggles time

the russian cinema industry produces some two hundred movies a year. but only some sixty to seventy of them make it to movie theaters at the end of the day. nobody knows what happens to the rest of the productions or the money spent on them we as viewers doona get to see what's on the screen and you know what's behind the scenes you see nobody can write a good story o'donnell these days about the great russian literary tradition where we still go we should be. feel that we still have it just doesn't come through. tradition from my installing to our core ski so we still have its origins history you know. i don't know. this year i'm chairing the jury at the st and i film festival showcases. by the graduates of russia's leading filmmaking schools. they had invited me for a long time and i finally decided to participate i wanted to see a host of young up and coming filmmakers i haven't seen all of the selected films yet but what i've seen is cert's really discouraging. most of all because it is so derivative and emasculate it's nothing new or personal i've

everyone raced out of the cinema. so, some pretty awful descriptions from some of the police and some of the eyewitnesses. four children being brought out, one a girl who looked like she had been shot in the back. this is a huge opening night, one of the biggest opening nights that has happened in the u.s. a lot of people packed into the cinema for this first showing. so the after midnight showing, so a huge number of families and children in attendant at the cinema. the century 16 movie theater in aurora, quite close to downtown denver. but the third largest city in its own right. >> thank you very much for the latest from los angeles. and i can actually bring you breaking news. that is a statement has been released from the white house just in the last few moments. of course it begins with president obama saying that michelle and i are shocked and saddened by the horrific and tragic shooting in colorado. federal and law enforcement officials still responding. the administration will do everything that we can to supp

the artist tells you there's a lot to learn from that movie the artist says that for cinema project to be very simple but if it's simple it has to have the key ingredients the artist had a good ending it had a good beginning and had actors that were very lovable and engaging and you know the actor had a beautiful smile and it had one scene in the middle that was very interesting that expressed its theme the theme when he had the dream about the sound so what the artist tells us is that cinema can be simple but if it's simple it has to have these few ingredients and if it does them well it can be
