London Film Festival / Interview to JOHN SAYLES

                                                                  
Prolific American independent filmmaker John Sayles returns to the BFI London Film Festival with Amigo, an illuminating tale of invasion and resistance set during the Philippine-American War.

I'm attending this year's festival...  happily.

You should see my film if...  you’re interested in history or human behaviour.

The best thing about film festivals is...  a chance to show your work.

The worst thing about film festivals is...  spending time in airports.

Film festivals matter in this day and age...  because distribution has gotten even more tenuous.

The first thing that springs to mind when I think of London...  is rain.

If I could sit next to anyone during a festival screening it would be...  Maggie Renzi.

The last film I saw was...  Winter's Bone.

and it was... really well-made.

The filmmakers I'm most inspired by...  are Akira Kurasawa and Mario Monicelli.

If I wasn't visiting the festival I'd be spending my time...  making a living writing screenplays.
