Hopefully, when people see 'Senna', they will understand why this inspirational story needed to be told, why it had to be made as a movie for the big screen, and why it is a film for everyone. Asif Kapadia bigfilminspirational Change image and share on social
The worst thing ever for me is go see a movie, and the next day I go, 'What did I do last night? I have no memory of this $300 million movie I watched because I felt nothing.' Asif Kapadia baddayfelt Change image and share on social
The big thing for me is to make films that you feel, whether you feel happy, whether you feel sad, whether you feel sick; it's to make the audience feel so that the next day they remember what they saw. Asif Kapadia audiencebigday share on social
Why make a movie about Ayrton Senna? Someone who drove around in circles at 200mph in a car that looked like a giant cigarette packet? Why would anyone who isn't already a fan of Formula 1 care? Asif Kapadia 200mphayrtoncar Change image and share on social

The subjects have to come with questions for me. I don't make films where I'm a massive fan. Asif Kapadia fanfilmmake Change image and share on social
I worked in TV for a short time and couldn't stand the fact that we'd always be filming someone talking, just giving information. Asif Kapadia factfilmgive Change image and share on social
We spent four days filming in a helicopter. I had never seen London from that viewpoint - you get a sense of how big it is and how easy it is to get lost. There was one day when we couldn't find Brick Lane: we spent 25 minutes looking and then realised it was directly below us. Asif Kapadia bigbrickday share on social
I don't normally make documentaries. I'm a drama director. I've made a few short docs, but I don't like talking heads or 'voice of God' narrators. Asif Kapadia directordocdocumentary Change image and 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
