Passion is universal humanity. Without it religion, history, romance and art would be useless.

The most powerful words in English are 'Tell me a story,' words that are intimately related to the complexity of history, the origins of language, the continuity of the species, the taproot of our humanity, our singularity, and art itself.

Religion is the everlasting dialogue between humanity and God. Art is its soliloquy.

The whole aspect of cinema and film festivals should be a moment to come together and celebrate art and humanity. It would be a shame if there was such a divide.
