The document discusses different directors' views on what cinema is, including a diary of times, a love that transcends time, a gift from God, a bridge that bonds communications, an award worth waiting a lifetime for, an art form that should not be messed with, a way to pacify sentiments, hope for a desperate life, emotions seen on audiences' faces, a cure for pains of war, and a tradition passed to the next generation. It concludes by asking the reader what their cinema is.
