"The cinematic movement has great similarity with the stream of thoughts and images of the brain activity; it is depends on entrusting oneself to this stream."
Alexander Kluge
"In the beginning was cinema. A beginning within history. The cinema appeared in the modern age in a turn against progress. It had its origin not in technological innovation, but in another moment of history, which shows itself as interruption, as resistance."
Heide Schlüpmann
