Adina Georgescu Obrocea about editing:
“The editor fulfills through the function of editing a triple creative effect: 1) he creates movement through the alternation of the images 2) creates rhythm through the frames’ dimensioning 3) he brings about the idea through the plans succession.Thus, the affective element mingled with the intellectual one results in the heart prevailing over intelligence, eliminating the notion of space in favor of the notion of time, as a rhythm of the film’s heart…We could say that, maybe, editing is the film’s soul" (Magazin estival Cinema , 1981)
