Being

Other quotes by Andrzej Wajda

First Years

In the first years after 1989, films were partly financed from the state's budget as well as by public television. Still, except for a few special cases, most films are made this way.

Audiences

Cinemas gained new young audiences who wanted films made for them.

American

Suddenly, the screens were dominated by American entertainment to the extent of something like 95 percent. As a result, audiences turned away from the kinds of films that we used to make.

Film Change

Language Past Want

Language also encodes our past. We want to know who we are. To know who we are, we have to know who we used to be. Consequently, our literature, written in the past, anchors us in that past.

- Andrzej Wajda

Film
