'd we need to make women poller for and we need women empowerment. what does it take to make films that truly matter are 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 ne will ferrell and knowledge talents program. barbara encounter only weeks before travel shut down.

filmmakers carter are 3 women whose craft is an intricate part of their lives. on the red sea against out of germany interested in people who've been left behind by me it's always most important to create a really close relationship with the people to. embrace his creative freedom and rejects boundaries that raises eyebrows in israel where she lives i don't know maybe i mean. these of land has no i don't think it has any meaning. as a director who lives and works in afghanistan. to stop the times does the life is not the way that you want but in films we have this power to make the life the way that we want and this is beautiful if. we turn 1st to lorenz you against a documentary filmmaker interested in society's outsiders and the stories they have

to tell. it starts with people that i find someone someone in an old location and i think ok this person it's 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. 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 sounding impels like a much more bashed for the as an example i have to go. on and you know national 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 fair. we didn't know what the film would look like in the end. so some wonderful. things that you know you. can make. that's going to move. your feet and something that. as we got deeper into the stories of each one of them we thought ok we have to follow them it's 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 23 days he went in came back and sent out a timesaver to the characters and it's 4 characters so we always we had no cell phone because some of them even didn't have a safe and so we always knocked on the door and a sad day here we are again came we've 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. not going to be. the patients was rewarded with moments of unexpected poignancy. he has to do. maybe i'm not very far from the storage which. is his head most of. mine. shaped owns a vacuum. if this is fresh air issue this me out and speaking in a small lives in israel in the country figures prominently in her work she often appears before the camera herself wending filmmaking and performance.

of. this and some of. the look there alone emma. and the video artist studied at the renowned academy of arts in jerusalem her work often tackles clichés with surprising results. i find it really is sometimes difficult to be an israeli filmmaker because being an israeli filmmaker people they accept you do talk all the time about the palestinian israeli conflict you're not allowed to do films about any other subject other than either the palestinian israeli conflict are the holocaust and sometimes when you want to do a film about something else it's a big problem. usually finds

a way who. come up with their crazy idea i'm sure i won't be able to do it people are telling me that it's too dangerous and then i try to do it and then i keep going. where do the back to your. own you don't want. i'm going to say to. questions. the palestinian israeli conflict is almost like icky shanower day i wanted to show just a humanistic part of it to give. you an idea.

a law and a bomb a show in a middle. of. a microcosm. 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 as this kind of subversive

mechanism to come in can't up with a man who are consider my enemy is. the result is a provocative. work 20 teen it won in a small dosti big golden bear. for the best short film. how can our help disrupt a longstanding prejudice that question also drives back and director deion's ahead jamal. living in a country like afghanistan it's it's not something easy of course for anybody not. for not for any human being in the week d'anna 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 women's 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

that i would say that it was and i said that i told her that was the tough guy that well father god i said because that's something i am a part of why it was i guess it 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. she frequently traveled to the west bank to meet men

living there. maybe how there is something i missed this year that this is. something that was in. you know the thrust of the soul in the in the. young and still be no not at earlier 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 harlow 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 gauge in conversation so the man i

matched were actually really happy that a news really woman is happy to talk to them so you haven't left the gaza strip for 20 years and if you would like to visit me in tell of the. girls i'm. certain that you are going to care for them you would be very much and your promise to you it's a very big question. about that relationships between on your body inside the green board. so i began to be like passionate about the idea of in turn a as met a national space their concern for this kind of subversive artistic actions and like yeah the idea of that like it's so

weird like care that they were 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 us sociological study. instead of a political conflict her film shows people who fall into society's cracks. when i started to come back in the 1st moments the 1st moment i saw came back i was in there and with the people i was in the very beginning a little bit chalked like with how the some places. i don't know like in the in this day as sometimes they were drac. from the injections a feeling and i was really shocked actually this was my 1st moment but somehow

after a while i got used to this and ambient and i. loved. that i really got close to the people i was portraying just one of the residents of the social housing tower florencio got really close to it was sabina. it's been a junkie with guns cause i was gently who are in this is just fishing business. let's shoot sometimes in back there scenes that show my protagonist and well in aruba moments very intimate moments i think it's very necessary to show this moments because it's it's the life of them and why should i make like a different tell a different story that's not the truth. right

. i mean you. were just shooting you know. it's like. it's only wish you know. but. yeah oh for the toilet for me. how am. i. going to. break through tennis moviedom i never know. each. dish unless you knew for sure he should or will be. missional my i felt that their life. as maybe of our lives. it can happen something very hard and you lose your say so she's careful to preserve the protagonists dignity is this need i say

frightened off benghazi. this into can free t.v. now and. then as even as an awful spam couple. glasses stiction and in how it's just being interested. and mitch still leave me near but schmidt floyd is. there d.h. my new tried machine then to now been. unleashed by someone schtick. when my needs are. really fighting to get out of it having this positive. dion's 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 didn't have any screening

place in called police after. suicide attack 2 french institute that's why we we make these cinema it's very small place very cosy we have one a special day for women and it's 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. the honest short film. premiered at the venice film festival in 2019.

the story of. suffering and pain. as a kid. 12 year old survived a suicide bomb attack a trauma she deals with along. i gave her an induction drug i have no record of rejection run of i wonder if. the farrah heard of 6 robert but i want to know that i want to. hear more about offering the final product this year you don't make provide a kind of. i always suffer when i look at. the children. in my

country and. they are. of course it's it's hard for everyone particularly it's children are so innocent and. the only he they are the horror they are little kids they're 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 don't 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 they're happening now with their eyes so i think that i want the next thing to be an in nationality fluid like there won't be any borders and you won't have to answer the question where are you from or you can just say answer these questions and saying i'm from the world or care i'm 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 us a lot for example in naked america would just give people like the stage to talk i'm just basically giving them sort of free therapy this is how trauma i am other day. sitting here. so i am. interviewing nature americans about. masculinity and politics and intimacy in love and loneliness and what does it mean to be american it's less they think about president trott and more what i think about. society that yes i was 15 or 16 naturally asses nursery and doing heroin that was exactly. are you enjoying us yes

why do you enjoy a. documentary filmmaker years oftentimes get accused did they use their characters but i don't think that's 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 callahan's to stop drinking and to go to germany 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 really. i love my protagonists the movie and they loved him very much they also said like i

feel patrick very aware. i think when i make movies generally i don't really have a particular message because i think everyone sees the film different and has its own message but what i like is to get like to show a public eye to make it possible to utter to see paid in their lives and the people lives i portray so to to open this window. afghan filmmaker dion as i have jamal opens a window onto a war torn country in the world we know little about. needs me because i'm the one that can go to the street and fight for today i don't want her to suffer. as much as i do.

what i wish. to do is to influence my people to my art in 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 that. it it's not worth it. just look at it it's not worth it life is so precious. oftentimes i get asked whether there's a border between the really i'm 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. and thank. me.
