Blood of the Beasts
Directed by Georges Franju (1949)

The others follow obediently, bleating, like condemned men who sing yet know their song to be useless.

In the Shadow of the Moon
Directed by David Sington (2007)

My father was born shortly after the Wright Brothers. He could barely believe that I went to the Moon.
But my son, Tom, was five. And he didn't think it was any big deal.

Baseball
Directed by Ken Burns (1994)

It is played everywhere. In parks and playgrounds and prison yards. In back alleys and farmers' fields.
By small children and old men. Raw amateurs and millionaire professionals. It is a leisurely game that demands blinding speed.
The only game in which the defense has the ball.

My Kid Could Paint That
Directed by Amir Bar-Lev (2007)

All writers, all storytellers, are imposing their own narrative on something. I mean, all art in some ways is a lie.
It looks like a picture of something, but it isn't that thing, it's a representation of that thing... Your documentary is itself going to be a lie.
It's a construction of things, it's how you wish to represent the truth and how you've decided to tell a particular story.

Baraka
Directed by Ron Fricke (1992)

I like to imagine Tarsem watching Baraka and thinking, "Hmm, not bad, but it needs more people running around in silly costumes."
