Artistic Integrity in Focus - Martin Scorsese Advocates for Cinema’s Future Martin Scorsese Urges Filmmakers to ‘Save Cinema’ from Franchises For the celebration of Art Basel, we bring you master filmmaker Martin Scorsese on our latest cover, where he urges filmmakers to “Save Cinema” from the dominance of franchises. Much like the world of art, where individual expression and authenticity are paramount, Scorsese believes that film should remain a medium for creative exploration and personal storytelling, rather than being overtaken by mass-market productions. His call to action draws a direct connection between the preservation of cinema as an art form and the broader struggle to maintain artistic integrity in a commercialized world. Known for his distinctive storytelling style, he has made a profound impact on film through his exploration of complex characters, moral ambiguity, and themes such as guilt, redemption, and violence. His works, such as Taxi Driver (1976), Goodfellas (1990), and The Irishman (2019), have become classics, praised for their gritty realism, innovative camera techniques, and masterful use of music. Scorsese’s collaboration with actors like Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio has resulted in iconic performances, further elevating his films. As a director, he has pushed the boundaries of storytelling in genres ranging from crime dramas to historical epics.
