Film Language is the Only Language I Know to Express Myself: Audrius Stonys

Audrius Stonys in his speech at the Master Class said that he doesn’t know any other way to express his ideas other than visual language. “The very important question is why one should make films. There could be many answers to that question. Making films to make money and making films to inform are the two answers in common.  It is hard to make money on documentary; there is lot other jobs to make money.  There is many other cheaper ways to inform as well, a television program, a written article or a radio broadcast, than making a film.” He responded
On the very same question he added that, “My answer is, make a film, if you see that the film language is the only possible way to say what you want to say, for me it is very essential. We have to use and we have to learn this specific cinema language which does not need any support. It can stand and deliver its purpose by itself.”
“A documentary is a very powerful tool which does not need any support. In a documentary images can speak, much more than words or music .When image can’t stand by itself then we use music and words in it. It is a distress and it actually kills the real cinema” he added.
 “Every issue can be told in the form of a fiction format too, as far as I concern an actor does not satisfy me, after all it is acting. That is why I go for documentaries than fiction, it is 100% real” he concluded.
