What we were thinking when we made our first-person hand-held 8mm and
16mm films........
“An art in which youth is barred from practicing freely is sentenced
to death in advance. The moving picture camera should be like
fountain pen, which anyone may use to translate his soul onto paper.
The 16mm film presents the only solution, and in this I think America
should take the initiative .... It offers an opportunity of trying
for miracles.” --Jean Cocteau, “Focus on Miracles,” New York Times
Magazine, October 24, 1948.
