Room 666 () is a 1982 documentary film directed by German film director Wim Wenders.The Criterion Channel
Synopsis During the 1982 Cannes Film Festival, Wenders set up a static camera in room 666 of the Hotel Martinez and provided selected film directors a list of questions to answer concerning the future of cinema. Each director is given one 16 mm reel (approximately 11 minutes) to answer the questions. The principal question asked was, "Is cinema a language about to get lost, an art about to die?" Wenders then edited this footage and added an introduction.Room 666/Room 999|The Criterion CollectionLetterboxd
