Creativity & LearningWho is Steven Spielberg in the Agency editorial?
Steven Spielberg is an American film director, known for films such as Jaws, E.T. and Schindler's List. The Agency editorial names him once, in Creative.11, where Thiago Patriota, the one interviewed in that edition, says Spielberg was "my first favourite movie director".
In short
Steven Spielberg, film director, appears in the Agency editorial in one sentence of Creative.11, the interview of the author, Thiago Patriota. Recalling how, at around thirteen, films such as Schindler's List and The Pianist were perhaps his first real contact with art and catharsis, he adds: "Looking back now, I realise that Steven Spielberg was my first favourite movie director." He then says his passion for cinema only matured after that period. The edition does not itself say that Spielberg directed Schindler's List.

How does Steven Spielberg appear in Creative.11?
In Creative.11 the interviewer, Amanda, asks Thiago Patriota what he loved to do as a child. He recalls studying the Holocaust at school at around thirteen and watching films such as Schindler's List and The Pianist, which he calls perhaps his first real contact with art and catharsis.
At the end of that memory he says: "Looking back now, I realise that Steven Spielberg was my first favourite movie director." He adds that his passion for cinema only matured more and more after that period. Spielberg is not in the list of five directors given later in the same interview.
