Thierry Fremaux on Why 'Today, We Never Trust Images We See' - but We Can Trust the Lumiere Brothers and 'Apocalypse Now'
"The invention of the Cinématographe was ready right away. The process of the invention was longer, and there were a lot of inventors before Lumière."
"We can trust the Lumières' images. They captured the essence of life in a way that remains relevant, even as technology evolves."
"Despite the advancements in technology, the basic apparatus of cinema hasn't changed much since the Lumière brothers."
"'Apocalypse Now' was the last biofilm, a term that reflects the unique blend of reality and narrative that defined that era of filmmaking."
Thierry Frémaux, the artistic director of the Cannes Film Festival, has released an anthology of restored films by the Lumière brothers. The anthology, titled 'Lumière, Le Cinéma!', features 130 short films showcasing their pioneering work in cinema. Frémaux emphasizes the significance of the Cinématographe, which revolutionized filmmaking. He expresses confidence in the reliability of the Lumière images and discusses the current state of cinema, including the influence of AI and the legacy of films like 'Apocalypse Now'.
