In 1982, Wim Wenders rented a motel room in Cannes and filmed 16 filmmakers — Werner Herzog, Steven Spielberg, Jean-Luc Godard, Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Michelangelo Antonioni among them — as they answered questions about the future of cinema. Forty years later, Lubna Playoust has repeated this productive and fascinating experiment with a new generation of filmmakers. David Cronenberg, Asghar Farhadi, Davy Chou, Claire Denis, Paolo Sorrentino, Lynne Ramsay and Ruben Östlund weigh in on digital technology, streaming, the new prestige of TV and what, on its face, seems like an urgent and dire challenge: the withering of theatrical cinema.
