is for us. is for. the. 20. 250th anniversary. to. 'd make women paula we need women empowerment.

what does it take to make films that truly matter to these emerging filmmakers that 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. barbara encounter only weeks before travel shut down. 3 filmmakers. 3 women whose craft is an intricate part of their lives. on the red sea against out of germany he's interested in people who've been left behind. me it's always most important to create a really close relationship with the people to. embrace as creator freedom and rejects boundaries which raises eyebrows in israel where she lives i don't know maybe i mean he but. these of land has no i don't think it has any meaning.

jamal is a director who lives and works in afghanistan. to stop the times the law 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. 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 unknown 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 current state she met the protagonists who are featured in her 1st full length documentary film. is a neighborhood with

a gritty reputation many of its residents are low income. spent a year volunteering at a local food bank. as it was noticed as in fact 17 impaired smoke a much smoke bashfully as an example and i have to go. on and you know national. and her co-director robin ting both found themselves drawn to the edgy and unconventional characters they met. when we decided to make this film. we didn't know what the film would look like in the end. for. the next but you know. we watch t.v. and make. them look. you know like it and sometimes things are not 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 twin a half yes just shooting with them like you see him 23 days he went to 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. here we are again kid 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. very going to be. the patients was rewarded with moments of unexpected poignancy. he has to.

i'm not surprised conference to watch. this is. this is what most of. mine. shipped ones about. if decision sharing issue gets me out in spain 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 i need someone. to look at let alone a month. and . video artist studied at the renowned academy of arts in jerusalem her work often tackles cliches with surprising results. i find it very 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 you're 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 it's a big problem. usually finds a way. come up with their crazy idea i'm sure i won't be hable 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 does the back to your. own you don't want.

to have. questions with. the palestinian israeli conflict is sour 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 again 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 dos cuba golden bear. of the past short film.

how can our help disrupt a longstanding prejudice that question also drives director i have 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 film.

this law was something to love 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 that was the attack she was on and i said that it was because i was told that the over the line that said because that's something i am a part of why it was i did she 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. for a video artist in a small ascii film as a political instrument a means to create change. 'd you frequently travel to the west bank to meet men living there. maybe. there's something i missed this year about this it's something that the world and. then the rest of us all know the. young that's going to be no not at all you are so gentle and quiet and then just

all of you. in dating website unfortunately there are no palestinian women. so if a palestinian guy wants to use tin there holly 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 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 tel of the. cause i'm. certain that you are going to care for them you would be very much and your promise you it would be

a very big course and there are. a constant evolution chips on your body inside the green board. so i began to be like passionate about the idea of internet as a metal 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 will still. fighting over a piece of land in this you know advanced times when everything is so web based. back to germany in 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 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 don't know like in the in this day as sometimes there were drac. 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 ambient and i. love this that i really got close to the people i was portraying. one of the residents of the social housing towers. i got really close to was sabina. chunky with guns because i was. this is just

a she. lets. sometimes in fact there are scenes that show my protagonists and the 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 . you so wish. but. yeah this oh for toilet from their toy. room. we have way too much and it's moving them i never know.

which. is the force safety. issue my i felt that their lives. as maybe of our lives so it can happen something very hard and he lose e.s.a. so she's careful to preserve the protagonist's dignity this is just leave us to frighten off benghazi from this into can free t.v. now and. then as leaders and all 4 of them cooked up. last fiction and in what. interests. me still leave me but schmidt floyd is. their dish my new tried. then to now been. unleashed by so much to pledge just not my usual film i need to look.

really fighting to get out of it but having this positive. dion's i have 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 very small plays 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 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. dionne is short film. premiered at the venice film festival in 2019. her is a 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 have you read it yet again one of only 4 who have the

terrible threat of brotherhood of god i want to know that i want to. hear more about offering the kind of product this year you don't make provide a kind of. i always suffer when i look at. the children. in my country and. i think they are. of course it's it's hard for everyone pataki it's children are so innocent and. there are no he they are they her 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 they never experience happiness. all 3 of these young filmmakers believe in the power of hope. i think i wanted to sort of challenge borders in all senses the you. people are starting to think about you know gender fluid and gender career and all these kind of movements are happening now a days so i think that i want the next thing to be an in nationality fluid like there won't 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 i'm from the world or care i am nationality fluid. oftentimes my films are therapeutic. 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 a 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 like mother me. sitting here. so i am and interviewing

americans about. masculinity and politics and intimacy and love and loneliness and what does it mean to be american it's less they think about president trough and more i think about a. society that has yes i think 15 or 16 after a massive nursery doing heroin that was exciting you. are you enjoying us yes why do you enjoy a. documentary filmmaker here's often times 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. i have a motivation the motivation is usually is there they want to be listened and her. german documentary filmmaker. loves listening to her protagonists. i

really got attached to their stories and i was really wanting for example cal hines 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 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 don't really have a particular message because i think everyone sees a film different and has its own method but what i like is to get liked to show a public or to make it possible to other to suppress to see paired in their lives and the people life 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 i can go to the street and fight for today i don't 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. 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 being at. it it's not worth it. just work if it's not worth it life is so precious. oftentimes i get asked whether there's a border between the real me 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 empathy and. more powerful than you would think i warrant could be.

and.

i'm going to. be for everyone. that's the dish another munich start up. there are some shows how calm to be different. because what's mine is also mourning.
