“It’s motivational too. Living with another creative person who can inspire you on a daily basis. Thinking back to art school... what you actually learn in classes is nothing compared to what you learn from being around other creative people. It makes you want to create more.” --- Nicholas Des Jardins, @1985artists #ISSUE17.

“As he spoke about Pasolini's death and the crime involved, Abel's own story came through, and the film transformed into a portrait of both directors’ lives and work. I often feel like I’m embedding myself into fellow collaborators’ bodies of work when I start working with them, and I do fall in love with them at certain points throughout the process. Its inevitable since its something you care so much about, but it’s a romance that has more to do with creating a love letter to the medium.”

--- Aida Ruilova on her film Head & Hands : My Black Angel,@1985artists #ISSUE17

When the wind picks up and the storm clouds start to gather, you better cancel everything and go inside. Your vision doesn't matter. The priorities in life are different here. --- Chloé Zhao in @1985artists ISSUE 17.

“Letter writing lives in its own unique time and the distance between us created a delayed sense of desire.” --- Aida Ruilova on her correspondence w/Jean Rollin, @1985artists ISSUE 17.

“If you watch closely, you'll see that the people running the crime ring make it clear to the 'students' that if they try to run away, or fail to come back every night, they'll call back down to where they're from and have their families killed. Nobody wanted to risk that, so they didn't take any chances. Much like most of us don't usually risk the further violence that would come from fighting back when we are faced with oppressive forces.” --- MAXIMON MONIHAN talks his feature w/partner & collaborator SHEENA MATHEIKEN, La Voz De Los Silenciados, @1985artists ISSUE 17.

“When something's wild, you don't want to tame it completely. You want to leave some of that wild in there.”

“What can be said of a connection that seems to border on captivity? Where does the line between violence & intimacy exist?”
