24 June — Friday

Gabriela made me a surprise and got us tickets for the Wim Wenders talk in Curzon.
After the Q&A we spent an hour together in the bar area while having popcorn. Gabriela had sweet popcorn and I had salty, so Wim Wenders had a bit of hers and then a bit of mine. I have to say that it was a bit disgusting that he put his hand in our popcorns, but at least I have a nice memory.

We tried to talk a little bit about how bad the film industry is in general, but it just depressed me. I also told him about the interview I’ve made with his cinematographer Agnès Godard but he didn’t seem to care that much. He is 76 years old. They always say “Never meet your heroes”, which I don’t think is true. I think it should be “Meet your heroes, but don’t talk about heroism.”
