What does it take to make films that truly matter to these emerging filmmakers questions drives their work. Back in february some 250. 00 of them gathered at the International Film festival as part of the any more. Barbara encounter only weeks before travel shut down. 3 filmmakers. 3 women whose craft is an intricate part of their lives. Of germany is interested in people whove been left behind. Its always most important to create a really close relationship with the people. Embraces creator freedom and rejects boundaries which raises eyebrows in israel where she lives i dont know maybe i mean he but. These of land has no i dont think it has any meaning. Jamal is a director who lives and works in afghanistan. Stopped at times by the law the life is not the way that you want but then fails we have this power to make the life the way that we want and this is beautiful. We turn 1st to lorenz you against a documentary filmmaker interested in societies outsiders in the stories they have to tell. It sets with people that i find someone someone in an old location and i think ok this person its really touching. Her work took her to a highrise a state on the outskirts of cologne where lorenzo was studying at the academy of media arts at the state she met the protagonist who featured in her 1st full length documentary film. Is a neighborhood with a gritty reputation and eve its residents are low income. Spent a year volunteering at a local food bank. As it. Was in fact that meeting and much more that. I have to go. On and. To mention that. The n. C. A. A. And her codirector robin king both found themselves drawn to the edgy and unconventional characters they met. When we decided to make this fair. We didnt know what the film would look like in the end. Before i got mixed but you know yeah. Im a guy. Thats really. You know when he turns on something that. As he got deeper into the stories of each one of them we thought ok we have to follow them its it has to be a long movie so we spent that i think through 2 and a half years just shooting with them like eat in 3 days he went to came back and sent out time so we visited the character and its 4 characters so we always we had no cell phone because some of them even didnt have a safe and so we always knocked on the door and. Here we are again came weve been something what are you doing so we had never a appointments or something maybe this is why it took so long but i think the film for example needed this freedom with the people because they always did what they did and never changed kind of for them were. Not going to be. The patients was rewarded with moments of unexpected poignancy. He has. Maybe im a cry fall from starch which. And this is. This is sentiments of. Me on my own border cheek bones about. It will get this is fresh air new to this piece you may art and she. Lives in israel in the country figures prominently in her work she often appears before the camera herself in filmmaking and performance. With love. This. Only so much. Theyre alone emma. And. The video artist studied at the renowned academy of arts in jerusalem her work often tackles cliches with surprising results. I find it really is sometimes difficult to be an israeli filmmaker because being an israeli filmmaker people like to accept you do talk all the time about the palestinian israeli conflict youre not allowed to do films about any other subject other than the palestinian israeli conflict are the holocaust and sometimes when you want to do a film about Something Else its a big problem. Usually finds a way. Come up with their crazy idea im sure i wont be hable to do it people are telling me that its too dangerous and then i try to do it and then i keep going. Where do the back to your. Own. Questions. The palestinian israeli conflict is sorrow almost like a cliche nowadays i wanted to show just a human istic part of it a good. Idea. And a bomb racial. Remark wrecker. One morning i remember like waking up with a question what will happen if they used their whenever i am in an area located near the separation wall because you know there is a location based app which totally ignores physical boundaries which should ignores any ideas of nationality race and just give you the matches close to you man behind a wall he is a documentary film in which i make contact with the man from the west bank dating apps and websites and films the conversations and counters with so i used as this kind of subversive mechanism to come in contact with a man who are consider my enemies. The result is a provocative in. 20 teen it one in a small dosti big golden bear at the berlin hour for the best short film. How can our help disrupt longstanding prejudice that question also drives in director ahead jamal. Living in a country like afghanistan its its not something easy of course for anybody not. For not for any human being in the week danna dedicated her film. To the women of afghanistan. In 2009. Then afghan President Hamid karzai approved a law that once again after years of taliban rule curtailed womens rights so deonna took to the streets to protest provided the impetus for her felt. This law was something fool of why lands against women and against human it said Something Like this that if a woman leave her house without her husband permission the husband can be warse that why. Was the was 6 that i was in the taxi was and i said that it was because i was not a high that it was well father god i said because thats something i am a part of why you might say i should have said was was like what we are trying to do as afghan women is to make. Space for women to breed to to to be. Outside of there was of the house to face the society to be present on the street. Video artist in a small ascii film as a political instrument a means to create change ready. She frequently traveled to the west bank d to meet men living there. Really maybe how there is something i missed this year that this is you often its something that the in. The rest of us in the in the. Young thats going to be no not at all you are so gentle and quiet and then just for you. In dating website unfortunately there are no palestinian women and so if a palestinian guy wants to use tin there is results come from the israeli side and when he after times like almost always when they try to talk to an israeli woman she would like. She she she would in the gauge in conversation so the man i matched were really happy that a news really woman is happy to talk to them so you havent left the gaza strip for 20 years and if you would like to visit me in tell of the. Girls im. Certain that you are going to care for them you would be very much and your promise to you to be a very big question. About that in addition chips from your own body inside the green board. So i began to be like passionate about the idea of internet as met a National Space their concern for this kind of subversive artistic actions and like yeah the idea of that like its so weird like care that people are still. Fighting over a piece of land in this you know advanced times when everything is so web based. Back to germany and the war and see against as sociological study. Instead of a political conflict her film shows people who fall into societies perhaps. When i started to. Come back in the 1st moments in the 1st moment i saw i was in there and it was the people i was in the very beginning a little bit shocked like with how the some places. I dont know like. In this day as sometimes there were track. From the injections of feeling and i was really shocked actually this was my 1st moment but somehow after a while i got used to this and ambien and what i loved is that i really got close to the people i was portraying just one of the residents of the social housing tower. I got really close to it was severe enough. When youre in a chunky which cars are gently who are in this is just fishing business to. Let still. Sometimes in fact there are scenes that show my protagonists and the moments very intimate moments i think its very necessary to show this moment because its its the life of them and why should i make like a different tell a different story thats not the truth. You like to. So. Its only wish no. No oh for goodness toil and their toy. And. Breaks will change and its moving them i never. Mean. To each. Dish unless you force safety. Commission on my i felt that their lives. As maybe of our lives. It can happen something very hard and you lose your say so shes careful to preserve the protagonists dignity this is says lead us to frighten off benghazi. This into can free t. V. Now and. Then as even as an offer to employ up the. Glasses fiction and in how its just being interest. Still leave me dont need british metroid just. Did each minute fight scene then to now been. Unleashed by someone schtick pledged not measurable in my need. To really fighting to get out of it but having this positive. Jamal also knows what it means to keep fighting and to stay positive. The director is a canadian citizen. Yet she decided to return to her homeland of afghanistan to live and work as a filmmaker. We didnt have any screening place in called after. Suicide attack 2 French Institute thats why we we make the cinema very small plays very cosy we have one a special day for women and its good because many women are not allowed to be in a place with other men but this place is good because someday they can come with their friends and watch films without. Any imitation. Deonna is convinced that through her films she can make a difference. Being a creator is is very important and i love that. Pianist short film. Premiered at the venice Film Festival in 2019. The story of. Suffering and pain. As a kid. 12 year old a coyote survived a suicide bomb attack a trauma she deals with alone. I get a certain direction rather i have been let out of a chair general of i wonder if. The 3rd heard of 6 the other corrupt i want to know that i want to know. More about africa than a product this year you dont make it provide a kind of theme i didnt. I always suffer when i look at. The children. In my country and. I think they are. Of course its its hard for everyone particularly its children are so innocent and. There are no he they are they are. They are little kids they are in the new compared to other children in the ward you can see how much software is. In their eyes. Like children of my country they dont know really what is happiness. He they never experience happiness. 3 of these young filmmakers believe in the power of hope. I think i wanted to sort of challenge borders in all senses. People are starting to think about you know gender fluid and gender queerer and all these kind of movements are happening now days so i think that i want the next thing to be an. In nationality fluid like there wont be any borders and you want to have to answer the question where are you from or you can just say answer these questions and saying im from the world or care i am nationality fluid. Oftentimes my films are 3rd party. People like really need Human Connection you know our society is going. More and more towards dark times where people are really really lonely you see that in the u. S. A lot for example a naked america would just give people like the stage to talk im just basically giving them sort of free therapy this is how trauma i mother me. When i see a piano so i am. Interviewing americans about. Masculinity and politics and intimacy and love and loneliness and what does it mean to be american its less likely about president trott and more of what i think about. Society a lot how yes like 15 or 16 actually asks us doing our side. Are you enjoying us yes why do you enjoy. Documentary filmmakers often times get accused did they use their characters but i dont think thats true because if someone agree to being in your film he or she have a motivation the motivation is usually dead they want to be listened and heard. German documentary filmmaker. Love was new to her protagonists. I really got attached to their stories and i was really wanting for example callahan to stop drinking. To go to democrat to fulfill her dream the better ness i was helping her to have to put all the smaller things on the war i really enjoyed the time with them to see me. And to leave me. I love my protagonist saw the movie and they loved it very much they also said like i feel patrick very aware. I think when i make movies generally i dont really have a particular message because i think everyone sees the film different and has its own method but what i like is to get blake to show a public or to make it possible to other to but supposed to see paid in their lives and the people i portray so to to open this window. Afghan filmmaker deannas i have jamal opens a window onto a war torn country in the world we know little about. Needs me because im the one that can go to the street and fight for today i dont want her to suffer as much as i did. What i wish. To do this to influence my people to my art and my life so. I choose to be in my country. Despite all the dangers i know when i leave my house maybe i can come back and then even. When i feel depressed or down. I think it. It its not worth it. Just forget it its not worth it life is so precious. And. Oftentimes i get asked whether theres a border between the really im me and like my persona in the movie is like. The character of me in the movies. I guess that in my films i try to portray women as both vulnerable but also. Filled with their empathy and. More powerful than you would think i warm and could be.
