"During the most difficult period, I watched Derek Jarman's Blue almost every day. Blue was his last film, a minimalist but grandiose film."
Mia Engberg

"But there was a time and an illness I wasn't sure I'd survive. And if that had been the case, I had in mind a film that would have boiled down to a black screen, because that's something I would have had time to do, a requiem of my own, with just voices. But, lo and behold, I was given more time. And with that good news came back the love of cinema, but also the joy of filling the screen with images of all sizes, rummaging around in the archives I'd filmed in my life."
