"But... the things that are around filmmaking and films and making films and getting money for films today, as we see in this festival [Rotterdam], are obnoxious – there's no other word. It's terrible. You don't make films like this. You don't make a photograph like that. You make a film with your guts, with your heart, and today you can make it alone, without pitching anything – don't pitch anything to anyone, please!"
– Pedro Costa, at International Film Festival Rotterdam
