Food for thought Inspiring people Inspiring words at Berlinale 2023 with SPIELBERG

By M.R. D’Amico

Steven Spielberg, 75, at the press conference for the Honorary Golden Bear at Berlinale told everything about movies, scripts and his friends…Francois Truffaut, Stanley Kubrick

“Francois Truffaut… I worked with him on Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and some of my reasons for making E.T. actually came from Truffaut….

Truffaut had just made a film called Small Change (L’argent de poche) and he had the best time working with children. So he said to me in broken English: “You have the heart of a child, you need to make a movie with kids”. And I never forgot that.
