"Every great filmmaker has a story about the start of their love affair with cinema. The moment of inspiration usually involves sitting in a dark movie theater, looking up at the screen and being struck by the muse. For the first time, these young filmmakers identify with the authorial voice behind the camera and realize that making a movie could be within their means.
More often than not, these inspiration-inducing movies are themselves the start of brilliant careers, where filmmakers with few resources at their disposal are first able to fully articulate their voice. The chain of inspiration, passes on from filmmaker to filmmaker, with each generation influencing the next and leaving a lasting mark on cinema history."
