Quote of the Week- Wim Wenders




Today's quote of the day is from the great German film director Wim Wenders, who like his contemporary Werner Herzog has directed both features and documentaries. Wenders, who is known for his film like "American Friend" (1977) with the late Dennis Hopper (pictured here), "Paris, Texas" (1984) and "Wings of Desire" (1987), currently has a 3-D documentary on modern dance called "Pina" showing in various parts of the world.

Here is his quote: "Film is a very, very powerful medium. It can either confirm the idea that things are wonderful the way they are, or it can reinforce the conception that things can be changed."
