The Future of Cinema: Spielberg, Herzog, & More Interviewed in Wim Wenders 1982 Doc Room 666 If you could get a large group of some of cinema’s greatest directors in one room, what would you ask them? Well, director Wim Wenders got that opportunity while at the 1982 Cannes Film Festival, and subsequently made a documentary about it. 16 iconic directors, including Jean-Luc Godard, Steven Spielberg, Werner Herzog, and Rainer Werner Fassbinder, were asked a series of questions about the future of the film industry, as well as the art form itself, and their answers became an incredible 44-minute video compendium of cinematic knowledge. Each director that appears in Room 666, which was in fact filmed at Cannes in room 666 at the Hotel Martinez, were given one 16 mm reel (about 11 minutes) to give their insight into filmmaking as art, the state of cinema at the time, and where they believed it was headed — the main question being, “Is cinema a language about to get lost, an art about to die?” In case you want to follow along as each director speaks, here’s a list of them in the order in which they appear: Jean-Luc Godard Paul Morrissey Mike De Leon Monte Hellman Romain Goupil Susan Seidelman Noël Simsolo Rainer Werner Fassbinder Werner Herzog Robert Kramer Ana Carolina Maroun Bagdadi Steven Spielberg Michelangelo Antonioni Wim Wenders Yilmaz Güney #spielberg #wimwenders #godard #documentary #film #future #herzog
