STORY TELLERS
The late American philosopher Kenneth Burke told us that "stories are equipment for living." Clive Lewis said that "imagination is the organ of meaning." Not sure what that means, but we concur.

FILM MAKERS
Lee Chang Dong said "Cinema is a way to talk about the invisible through the visible." Its hard to argue with Lee Chang Dong, especially since we don't speak Korean.

The act or art of entertaining. The action of receiving a guest and lifting their spirits with the provision of food, drink and nourishment.

“The best way to understand what a movie has to say to us is to reflect on the moments that move us, for those moments open a window to our soul. Through that window we can look, momentarily, into the depths of who we are. What we may see is something in our past, or our future, or something in the present. We may see our hunger and our thirst. We may see our deepest fears cowering there. Or the wings of our most beautiful dreams nesting there. We may see the open sore of our woundedness. Or the beginnings of its healing.”

- Ken Gire, Reflections on the Movies

“We seek an enlargement of our being. We want to be more than ourselves. Each of us by nature sees the whole world form one point of view with a perspective and a selectiveness peculiar to himself … We want to see with other eyes, to imagine with other imaginations, to feel with other hearts, as well as with our own … We demand windows … This, so far as I can see, is the specific value or good of literature [and film]; it admits us to experiences other than our own.”

- C.S. Lewis, An Experiment in Criticism
