Tilda Swinton

I'll pull some quotes from it later, but I wanted to let people know they can read Tilda Swinton's Saturday State of Cinema speech on sf360.org.
It isn't the same as seeing and hearing her deliver part of a Robert McKee monologue from Adaptation or talk about her experience with Derek Jarmen, but it should be read by anyone interested in film (as well aspeople who aren't interested in film, but have too much influence over what we see).
Her Letter
to Derek Jarman which she said she may have been the reason Graham Leggat invited her to give the address is also online.
More photos of her giving the speech as well as the projections on City Hall.
B Ruby Rich's 2004 State of the Cinema talk is also online (as a PDF). And Michel Ciment's 2004 speech (google cache). Photos of Brad Bird's more off-the-cuff 2005 speech.
