“Cinema is the only art that operates with the concept of time. Not because of its developing in time, because so does music and theater and ballet and other artforms.
I mean time in the literal sense. After all, what is a take? From when we say: ‘Action!’ To when we end by saying ‘cut’, what is happening?
It is the fixing of reality, the fixing of time. The conservation of time - for us to keep forever.
No other art form can fix time except cinema. So film is a mosaic of time… all three have dialogue.”

The ‘new’ ideology of the free market economy has steamrolled all oppositions, in spite of massive protest from many sectors of society, imposing anti-intellectualism as a salient feature of our times. This is especially hard on the Humanities because it penalizes subtlety of analysis by paying undue allegiance to 'common sense’ - the tyranny of doxa - and to economic profit - the banality of self-interest.

1968.
Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it. Don’t wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men’s store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good hot black coffee. A present. Like Christmas.
