9 QUOTES WITH «FILM FESTIVAL»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word film festival.
1
Saffron Burrows
I play the guitar. This year at the Sundance film festival, I joined the band from 'The Guitar' on stage. We warmed up for Patti Smith, and then the director Michel Gondry got on the drums to play some songs from the soundtrack to his film Be Kind Rewind with Mos Def. It was pretty mad.
2
Abel Ferrara
Listen, anybody who has a film festival has the right to show what they want.
3
Clark Gregg
New York is the perfect place for a film festival because there's already so much energy and life here, and New Yorkers love movies.
4
Takeshi Kitano
I don't really expect much from my life. So when I heard my films are premiering in film festival circuits I was glad of course but I thought it was lucky accident.
5
Hayden Panettiere
The frustrating part of it is that you're generally known for what you did last. I've had the privilege of doing some very cool independent films that, a lot of the time, the general public doesn't see unless you're at a film festival or you're into that kind of movie.
6
John Polson
You can do a short film in three to four days, and then you can show it. Look at the careers you seen go either through Tropfest or outside of Tropfest. You can make a short film in a couple of days, and if it's great, it can go in the Internet or go to a film festival like this one or another.
7
Jason Reitman
I remember when I was like 19 years old and I started a desk calendar company to pay for my first short film, just so I could say one day that my daddy didn't pay for my first short film. And I really established myself in the film festival world.
8
Charlie Rowe
I did a short film called 'Disco' and won an award for Best Supporting Actor at an indie film festival, and that was nice. Hopefully there's lots more to come.
9
Kristin Scott Thomas
The Cannes film festival is about big-budget films but also remarkable films made in different political regimes by film-makers with little resources.
