Rohini Hattangadi

In the 80s, parallel cinema gained momentum. So, I got back to films and won National awards for Maqbool' and other films.

Pankaj Kapur

Basically, I have always wanted to have an art-house cinema. A cinema where we can show films that are not necessarily the current offerings on circuit and films that are not commercial.

Kiran Rao

I would like to balance my career, do meaningful cinema and also do fluff films.

Daisy Shah

Film festivals should also show commercial films along with parallel cinema. This is the only way that it could reach out to more people.

Aishwarya R. Dhanush

We have always wanted to give back to cinema, and we couldn't possibly think of a better way to do that than facilitate films which we believe will make Malayalam cinema proud.

Prithviraj Sukumaran

The third line of cinema today is neither art nor commercial but categorized as good and bad cinema. I think two films - 'Main, Meri patni aur Who' and 'Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon' were the base films for this new line of cinema.

Rajpal Yadav

For seven years, I made films in the cinema verite tradition - photographing what was happening without manipulating it. Then I realised I wanted to make things happen for myself, through feature films.

Mira Nair

My production company wasn't doing well, so we were not producing films. Over a period of time, we have realized that we are going to produce our own films and make cinema that we like. We've got so much in-house talent, and my kids are going to be coming, so we all decided that we are going to be in films and cinema.

Sunny Deol

I haven't got the kind of films from mainstream cinema which I would have wanted. But then mainstream cinema has a different bunch of people who are happy working with each other, which is fine.

Ranvir Shorey

Well, I think by and large, certainly in terms of cinema, American culture dominates our cinema, mainly in the films that are shown in the multiplexes but also in the way that it has a magnetic effect on British films.

Ken Loach

More meaningful cinema is being made, and that is the reason why you see a rejuvenated Malayalam film industry. But more films aimed at youth are needed.

Mammootty

We cannot put cinema in parallel with the political, because politics are something dirty and cinema is not dirty.

Ali Suliman

The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn't.

Jean-Luc Godard

I don't even watch many huge films. I don't go to the cinema every weekend. I watch selective cinema and want to make my kind of films.

Kiran Rao

Unlike in the past, when acting in parallel cinema entailed hitting film festival circuits even not fully comprehending the story thread at times, directors are more intent to tailor present day films for the audiences, while introducing fresh concept and craft.

Saswata Chatterjee

I'm a big fan of silent cinema and I think that before I got into the canon of European arthouse cinema, the first interesting films I liked as a kid were German expressionist silent films.

Robert Eggers
