Textul de pe ultima copertă
Film
is
made
of
moments.
In
its
earliest
form,
the
cinema
was
a
moment:
mere
seconds
recorded
and
projected
into
the
darkness.
Even
as
film
has
developed
into
today's
complex
and
intricate
medium,
it
is
the
brief,
temporary
and
transitory
that
combines
to
create
the
whole.
Our
memories
of
films
are
composed
of
the
moments
we
deem
to
be
crucial:
touchstones
for
our
understanding
and
appreciation.
Moments
matter.
