Norman McLaren quotes about
infinitely watch
If I find a film dull, I find it infinitely more entertaining to watch the scratches.
black-and-white color film
I like black and white films. I don't exactly know why - probably because there is a stylization which is removed from actual life, unlike a color film.
consciousness human social
But it has, in addition, an even more precious quality - a consciousness of the human intelligence, the human spirit and that man is a social creature.
previous whether
I don't know whether it ever comes back to the same thing; it does return to the spirit of a previous period in some way, but it's different, it's new.
