Place means nothing to me. I can be at home anywhere.
Yes, I got my first Bolex camera a few weeks after being dropped in New York by the United Nations Refugee Organization. That was on October 29th, 1949. With my brother Adolfas, we wanted to make a film about displaced persons, how one feels being uprooted from one's home.
I make home movies-therefore I live. I live-therefore I make home movies
An adventurer can always return home; an exile cannot. So I decided that my home would be culture.
I live, therefore I make films. I make film, therefore I live. Life. Movement. I make home movies, therefore I live. I live, therefore I make home movies.
