The Times We Live In – An Interview with Marc Isaacs in Resources on DFGDocs – The British Documentary Website
an interesting interview with a filmmaker whose work i really want to see. second run just came out with a dvd... hope to find one soon.
"You need a setting, you need a story and you need characters. If you have those three things you have everything you need to make a good film. But you need some formal binding device in which to present the story. It’s about our relationship to stories: we expect ‘once upon a time there was a town called Calais’, so once you’ve got that clear, that contains everything. Once you’ve established what the film is apparently about, you can go off on tangents, as long as they seem to be a variation on a theme, or a progression of a theme."
