"The film emerged from nine weeks of shooting and ten months of editing."
In the editing there is a four way conversation going on between (1) my memory of the place; (2) the record of that memory as retained in the rushes; (3) my general experience and (4) the editing process...The film finds its form in that conversation and represents what I learned from the experience of making the film.. ~ Frederick Wiseman
