"A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty… The true value of a human being is determined primarily by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self."

A:"Till now I have never shot a scene without taking account of what stands behind the actors because the relationship between people and their surroundings is of prime importance." B:"Film as dream, film as music. No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight of the soul"

With the sudden departure of both Bergman and Antonioni, Sam Renseiw briskly voodled un-montaged footage into a single frame. In contrast to Ingmar Bergman's massive close-ups of the face in which the subject stares straight out at the viewer and Antonioni's here on- and off-screen subjects gazing ahead at the same vista, today's voodle brings about an unnerving trifle of framed affectivity.
