Luca Guadagnino on Film School 

According to Orson Welles, you could learn everything about filmmaking in a day and-a-half. He did so by speaking with Gregg Toland, his cinematographer on “Citizen Kane.” Toland told Welles that he was eager to do the film - precisely because Welles had never made a picture before.

In the words of Herzog: "Who wants to spend four years on something a primate could learn in a week?"

Great atmosphere in that room.

All you need to make a short movie is a camera, a laptop and a group of friends. I got the first two, just need to make some friends.

Thanks for clipping this! Had to show this to a couple of friends and it was always a pain to find the right timestamp

You don’t know how many time I would look at the filmmakers, especially film students, and wonder, “Are you serious?What did they teach you at the film school?”

Depends very much on the school I think.

Les rires sont insupportables mais je pense qu'il a raison.
