I've done films about games. What I like with games is that there is this uncertain outcome and the element of chance.

More quotes by Jørgen Leth
Every time I go to Haiti after a season of busy work in Europe, I feel like I'm submerging into a certain state of mind, which is very productive.
Jørgen Leth
I'm a man who struggles with melancholy and depression, but I am a very productive filmmaker and I work constantly, with no pause. Even in the worst of crises, I manage to produce work. And that's keeping me alive.
Jørgen Leth
I like to apply storytelling methods and techniques to try to frame the story in an interesting way, but you can never control what's happening.
Jørgen Leth
When I make films, I'm very conscious about leaving space for an uncertainty, and for some unexpected things.
Jørgen Leth
I hate films with a clear message, ones that have their answers already when they start.
Jørgen Leth
For me, poetry has a strong link to my filmmaking. My films learn from my poetry. In poetry, you're free. You start in the corner and you don't know where it leads you. I have no message, I have nothing I want to tell, I just start and I see where it leads, and it's a big surprise and relief if it's good. That's the ideal state for filmmaking.
