Filmmakers must create their own personal manifesto: a world-view, an auteur style, a unique cinematic POV to his or her storytelling. Then, a second ‘world’ has to be engaged. There’s a growing international market which requires expertise in proposals, pitching, marketing, branding ideas, working festivals, schmoozing and distribution. Let’s call it the world media ‘manifiesta,’ a congregation without personal boundaries, borders, national frontiers or technological limits. It’s very competitive and fragmented but filmmakers have to learn how to negotiate a place in it, if they are going to prosper—and survive.

I think my definition these days of cinema really erases national borders because everyone comes from everywhere and the world is everywhere, digitally.

I guess I am a bit of the Scorsese school, where he said, to paraphrase: ‘Both documentary and fiction need each other.’ There is a co-dependency there. But with most big international festivals, even though they include a good amount of documentaries in their program, we always feel like we are still sitting on the soccer bench or the football bench, waiting to play our big game.
