During the 1982 Cannes Film Festival, Wenders set up a static camera in room 666 of the Hotel Martinez and provided selected film directors a list of questions to answer concerning the future of cinema. Each director is given one 16 mm reel (approximately 11 minutes) to answer the questions. The principal question asked was, "Is cinema a language about to get lost, an art about to die?" Wenders then edited this footage and added an introduction.

Directors interviewed include Steven Spielberg, Jean-Luc Godard, and Rainer Werner Fassbinder, who died less than a month after filming. The film was later screened out of competition at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival.[1]

In order of appearance
gollark: ↑
gollark: Not in an "actively doing evil" sense, but arguably that's just a matter of where you set some arbitrary zero point.
gollark: For example, I do not really donate money to charity, despite at least having theoretically nonzero money. I feel somewhat guilty about this if I think about it very hard.
gollark: Distributing punishment based on that would make things like advertisements for charities horrible infohazards.
gollark: If you want to know about what *you* should do, then it's more reasonable to ask about the morality of actions, not people, because the people way runs into accursed counterfactuals very fast.
