“We directors have a very large responsibility. We have it in our hands to lift the film from industry to art, and, therefore, we must go to our work with seriousness, we must want something, we must dare something, and we must not jump over where the fence is lowest.

Only from this can we expect renewal.” [ x ] Carl Theodor DreyerFebruary 3, 1889 — March 20, 1968
