In my films I am interested in the victims of situations that could be all of us and the resistance that we can put up as human beings in the situatuions that surpress us, not only political but also sentimental. My point of view is usually the one of the viewer because I still am a viewer of cinema.

Actually, the material came first. The idea for this documentary, Still Life, appeared the moment I first entered the archive of the political police. After having spent several days on reading files, I discovered quite a few huge albums containing hundreds of photographs of the political prisoners.
