"Ideja je bila da se pokopa jedna vrsta filma i, da kao u doba Dionisija, sve bude plodnije za one koji se ozbiljno bave filmskim radom", izjavio je Kusturica, dodavši da Mokra Gora "postaje mitsko mjesto autorskog filma."
"The idea was to bury one kind of film and, like in Dionysian times, make everything more fruitful for those who do serious film work," Kusturica said, adding that Mokra Gora "is becoming a mythical place of auteur films."
