लोग कहते हैं कि आप किसी फिल्म या किताब से लोगों की सोच नहीं बदल सकते, पर उनकी सोच बनती कैसे है? वे जो देखते और पढ़ते हैं, उसी से बनती हैं। एक तरह से, फिल्में अपने समय से आगे होती हैं। लोग उन्हें बनाते हैं और वास्तव में नहीं जानते कि दर्शक उन पर कैसी प्रतिक्रिया देंगे। कभी-कभी, वे दे देते हैं।
People say that you can't change people's minds with a movie or book, but how do they get formed in the first place? They get formed by what we see and read. In a certain way, movies are ahead of their times. People make them and don't really know if the audience will respond to them. Once in a while, they do.

लोकप्रिय दृष्टिकोण कैसे बनते हैं? क्या फिल्में केवल उन्हें दर्शाती हैं या उन्हें आकार देती हैं? यह खास विचार कहाँ से आता है? मैं नहीं जानता कि मैं इसके बारे में कुछ बहुत स्पष्ट कह सकता हूँ।
How do popular attitudes get formed? Do the movies just reflect it or inform it? Where does this particular idea come from? I don't know if I can say anything too illuminating.

जब मैं युवा था, फिल्में बनाना आसान था। यह इतना महंगा नहीं था, ज्यादा समर्थन था। मैंने पाया कि मुझे फिल्में बनाने के लिए पैसे ही नहीं मिल पा रहे हैं।
When I was young, it was easier to make films. It wasn't as expensive, there was more support. I found that I couldn't get the money to make films.

मैं फिल्म पढ़ाकर अपनी आजीविका कमाता हूँ, ज्यादातर फिल्म निर्माण लेकिन समकालीन सिनेमा पर पाठ्यक्रम भी पढ़ाता हूँ। मुझे फिल्मों में रुचि है। मुझे उम्मीद है कि मेरी रुचि सिर्फ इसी तक सीमित नहीं है। उस अर्थ में, यह शायद थोड़ा भ्रामक हो सकता है। मुझे उम्मीद नहीं है कि मैं फिल्मों के बारे में कोई और फिल्म बनाऊँगा, लेकिन मैं उनके बारे में लिखना जारी रख सकता हूँ।
I earn my living by teaching film, mostly filmmaking but also teaching courses on current cinema. I'm interested in movies. I hope that's not all I'm interested in. In that sense, it's maybe a little misleading. I don't expect to make another movie about films, but I may continue to write about them.

पढ़ाते समय, मुझे वीएचएस या डीवीडी पर फिल्मों की क्लिप दिखाना और फिर उनके बारे में बात करना अच्छा लगता है। यही यह फिल्म है।
In teaching, I like being able to present clips from movies on VHS or DVD and then talk about them. That's what this movie is.

ऐसा भी होता है कि मैं असल में उन चीज़ों के बारे में नहीं पढ़ाता जिन पर मैं फिल्में बनाता हूँ। मैं फिल्म इतिहास का शिक्षक नहीं हूँ। इस तरह, यह एक राहत भी है। लेकिन जिन विचारों के बारे में मैं फिल्म में बात करता हूँ, वही बातें मैं स्कूल में भी करता हूँ।
It also happens that I don't actually teach about the stuff I make things about. I'm not a film history teacher. In that way, it's also a release. But the ideas that I talk about in the movie are the same I talk about in school.

मेरे लिए, मुख्य बात यह है कि वास्तविकता बहुत समृद्ध है। हम इस पर अधिक तुरंत और सीधे तरीके से प्रतिक्रिया दे सकते हैं, ऐसे तरीकों से जहाँ प्रस्तुति और वास्तविकता के बीच की दूरी कम हो।
For me, the main point is that reality is rich. We can respond to it more immediately and directly, in ways where there's less displacement between representation and reality.
