My background is Indian, so I believe in a spiritual idea that there is another level, another layer or layers, if you will, above us. I believe that there are elements that allow things to be drawn together, a sort of energy. Asif Kapadia backgrounddrawelement share on social
I wanted to study film at an art school - I loved the idea of being surrounded by designers and artists. We were encouraged to be experimental. Asif Kapadia artartistdesigner Change image and share on social
As much as I love creating entertaining visuals, I love toying with the pace of a movie and trying to perfect that. It's imperative to the impact: faster cuts, cuts at the right moments that meld with the tenor of a scene. Creating and maintaining that feeling. Asif Kapadia createcutentertain share on social
As a kid, I thought movies were boring. My parents would hire VHS recorders for the weekend and watch Bollywood movies. I'd get bored and go out to Stoke Newington common to play football. Asif Kapadia bollywoodborecommon Change image and share on social

There are no drivers like Formula One drivers. They are engineers, in a way. They are driving manual cars one-handed at 200 miles per hour around streets in Monaco. These cars use the ultimate in technology. Asif Kapadia cardrivedriver share on social

I never know going in if I've even got a movie to make. Once you start making a film, you hope there's going to be enough material! My job as a director is always to push for more. Asif Kapadia directorfilmhave Change image and share on social
I studied graphic design originally. I used to like drawing, and I was quite into technical drawing. I was always interested in the visual medium, but I thought I was going to be an architect or something like that, but it's quite a lonely job. Asif Kapadia architectdesigndraw share on social
When I was given the opportunity to direct 'Senna,' I decided the film had to work for audiences who disliked sport or had never seen a Formula One race in their lives. It had to thrill and emotionally engage people who had never heard of Ayrton Senna. Asif Kapadia audienceayrtondecide share on social
