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 challenge program. Barbara encountered only weeks before travel shut down. 3 filmmakers. 3 women whose craft is an intricate part of their lives. On the red sea against germany is interested in people whove been left behind. Me its always most important to create a really close relationship with the people. Embraces creator freedom and rejects boundaries that raises eyebrows in israel where she lives i dont know maybe i mean but. These of land has no i dont think it has any meaning. As a director who lives and works in afghanistan. To stop the times that 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 iran see against a documentary filmmaker interested in societies outsiders and the stories they have to tell. It sets with people that i find someone someone in that location and i think ok this person its really touching. Her work took her to a highrise estate 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. Kernberg is a neighborhood with a gritty reputation and eve its residents are low income. Spent a year volunteering at a local food bank. As if. In fact that meeting in paris michael much more than. I have to go. On and. To measure. The rents here and her co director robin king both found themselves drawn to the edgy and unconventional characters they met. When we decided to make this. We didnt know what the film would look like in the end. A system with 4. Weeks with no yeah. Im a guy. Thats really. You know like a kid and something that. As we 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 you see in 23 days he went to came back and spent out of time sylvester to the character and thats for a character so we always we had no set for normal 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 the movie. Never want to be. The patients was rewarded with moments of unexpected poignancy. He has to. Eat. Yes it might be our math 501. 00 star which. In this and you are. This is that most of. My an order to shoot ones of about. If this is for sharing this you this piece you may out in spain. Lives in israel in the country figures prominently in her work she often appears before the camera herself wending filmmaking and performance. Is a little him as with clueless little of. This. Is the must. Be looked at lair 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 filmmakers 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 bit. 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 you dont want. To have. Questions. The palestinian israeli conflict is sorrow almost like a cliche nowadays i wanted to show just a human istic part of it it is. A law 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 and 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 to as this kind of subversive mechanism to come in contact with a man who are consider my enemies. The result is a provocative. Teen it one in a small dosti big golden bear. The best short film. Was. How can our help disrupt a longstanding prejudice that question also drives back and director deions 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 more 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 film. 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 not the exactly the right activist and i guess that tough guy was not the kind of tough guy over the guy that said because thats something i am a part of why you might say i did so 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 is a political instrument a means to create change. d you frequently travel to the west bank to meet men living there. Maybe how there is something i missed this year that this is. Something that the world and. Then the rest you all know the. One its going to be no not at all you are so gentle and quiet and then just hold it. 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 gaijin 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 i was certain that you are going to care for them he would be very harsh and your promise to you it would be a very big question there are so beautiful that it is chips from your body inside the green border. So i began to be like passionate about the idea of internet as met a National Space their concern for this kind of verse a of artistic actions and like yeah the idea of that like its so weird like care that they both still. Fighting over a piece of land in this you know advanced times when everything is so web based. Back to germany and the. Sociological study. Instead of a political conflict her film shows people who fall through societys cracks. When i started to come back in the 1st moments and the 1st moment i saw came back i was in there and with the people i was in the very beginning a little bit shocked like with how the some places. I dont know like in the in this day as sometimes there were drac. From the injections of hillary in 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 towers. Got really close to it was severe enough. When youre in a junkie when its not because i was meeting jackie who are. Just fishing business and you. Let still. Sometimes in fact there are scenes that show my protagonist and the moments very intimate moments i think its very necessary to show this moments because its its the life of them and why should i make like a different tell a different story thats not the truth. Here. No. But. Yeah this oh for the toilet for me. How come. You and. Your average watch and this movie dont mind being. So much. Before safety. Commission oh 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 is this need us to frighten off benghazi from this into can free t. V. Now and. Then as leaders then ill force them to open. Glassy fiction and in how they just lean into see it as. A niche leave me dont need the issue troy just. Did each minute tried machine then to now been. Unleashed by some lunch trick but not much with my need. Really fighting to get out of it but having this positive. Dions ahead 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 police after. Suicide attack 2 French Institute thats why we we make these very small plays very closely 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 some day 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. Dion a short film. Premiered at the venice Film Festival in 2019. Her is a story of. Suffering and pain. As a kid a. 12 year old survived a suicide bomb attack a trauma she deals with alone. I gave her an induction rather have you read of rejection run of i wonder if all who have the terrible. 6 product of karbala more want to know. More about offering the kind of product this year you dont maybe provide a kind of embody that. I always suffer when i look at. The children. In my country and. They are. Of course its its hard for everyone but to kids children are so innocent and. They are now he they are they are. They are little kids they are in when you compare 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. 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 the rich. People are starting to think about you know gender fluid and gender career and all this 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 isnt 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 in 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 am other day. Sitting here. So i am. Interviewing naked americans about. Masculinity and politics and intimacy and larva and loneliness and what does it mean to be american its less they think about friendship trouble and more what i think about. Society that yes i think 15 or 16 actually asked nursery doing our success. 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 is there they want to be listened and her. German documentary filmmaker. Loved listening to her protagonists. I really got attached to their stories and i was really wanting for example callahans to stop drinking. To go to democrat to fulfill her dream of better ness i was helping her to put all the smaller things on the war i really enjoyed the time with them and this is. The reason. I love my protagonist saw the movie and they loved it very much they also said like i feel patrick very well. I think when i make movies generally i dont really have a particular message because i think everyone sees a film different and has its own message but what i like is to get like to show a public or to make it possible to other to to see paid in their lives and the people lives 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 i 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 is to influence my people to my art in life so will. 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 ping. It its not worth it. Just were getting its not worth it life is so precious. Oftentimes i get asked whether theres a border between the real me me and like my persona in the movies 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 empathy and. More powerful than you would think i warm and could be. Interest. Enter the conflict zone confronting the powerful 4 months to go choke the president ial elections in america so no trump is sinking in the polls and now is former National Security advisor says he isnt fit to be president what job also fits my guest this week from washington how much damage trump fuzzball to done to america and the rest of the.
