you. also need to save but i don't need to keep up a very relevant because all for over gretchen home the 4th time to do a solo the most recent article in the works or at least the bottom is. that the last dragons in this word had called the hard 3 years. to agree but are not. painful to see so many people leave the country now because they just don't feel any future here anymore. is the time to dance history where we could do it if we fail it's as failing but it still needs a lot of energy. still

. making films against all the roofs creating images that have never existed before high 900 problems that's what filmmaking is about for many young people we've met a lot of them over the years in the knowledge talents program which always takes place at the same time as the burn in international film festival bringing together over $200.00 up and coming filmmakers from whom i've had a while. and we caught up with 4 of them i get in there and then. i shall come from sudan. constantine drawn and christopher our own from germany and lebanon. and rubaiyat hosts hang from time to dash.

concerns he wants to make films for his people. we met him in berlin in february when it was freezing cold. he was visiting friends and taking a break from the stress in sudan. thing in times of data ship you can never be your true self so you never know what your identity is. so i feel like for us to become really who we are as a people we need this freedom we need this space and we need to be able to play and i feel like our culture is cinema is that space for us to play to try to understand who we are and to show it to ourselves we 1st met in 2016 it was living in the middle of a war zone in the nuba mountains and south sudan participated in the balun on a tolerance program after making the award winning documentary beats of the unser

not. if it's a film about music identity or war in sudan you know about the war using music so within that i concentrate on music and daily life and calls it on people in the bar moved to the nuba mountains and 2012 there's a war between the government and ethnic groups fighting for independence and the right to that own cultural identity. it was a war for resources self-determination and over the role of religion. that you scared like you naturally scared everybody around you scared everybody's running to foxholes there's a moment when you come out that you want to make sure everybody's ok there's that

moment of fear but as soon as you notice everybody is ok then there's that moment of extreme happiness like. the bast documentary ordinance award at the 2014 toronto film festival. before moving to the nuba mountains he had lived in new york but he gave up his secure existence to support his people. all. those living in brooklyn i had my. fixie bike that i love and it's an easy life is this fun is very creative but my work there doesn't matter while the simple thing of being in a war zone just my presence makes a difference how our work there's a war chronicle or organized theater workshops and set up an artist's collective in 2018 he made his 1st fiction film an antiwar comedy a cache is about a soldier and his girlfriend lena after they spend

a night together adnan gets into trouble when lena becomes jealous with some leaves for. you know within the shock of. it. does it. look a little closer the. director's shop of film with a small team area without running water or electricity it premiered at the 2018 venice film festival when we 1st started making the film it was a film that we were making for ourselves. we felt we need we real we had that need for coming together and celebrating and this is what i discovered from my 1st documentary be said that enough so with we wanted to create a film that had the backdrop of war but still had enough humor and life and what

not and questioning of revolution and what he means there he means a lot to us and it was amazing that the film actually also ended up in huge festivals and went around. a mad constantine and christopher our own when they participated in the $29.00 team on a talent's program that work together on the international coproduction. constantine barker's editor and crist of our own as cinematographer. puts the spotlight on people fighting for their survival for children in the slums of beirut like 12 year old zane. it was the moment when you realize that the fiction that we're doing that the reality is surpassing the fiction that we're doing and that made everyone realize how important this fictionalized version that we're creating here is and that these topics do need to be talked about children without

a childhood. you would see those goods on the streets everywhere you would see families also between lanes and on the highway you're just just ignore them you just treat them like their moods or. like ghosts that don't exist but they're everywhere. the nonprofessional actors were plucked from the streets and much of the film was shot from them perspective. it was not so much the story but the roar direct and truthful way of telling the story that made the film so exceptional in 2018 it won the jury prize at the cannes film festival and in 2019 it was nominated for an oscar. yeah. it's easy to blame people. but it's much harder to understand why they act the way that they act what is wrong with the system that makes them act this way how were they brought up . we caught up with them again this year but not together.

cover now may not have won the past foreign film oscar 2 years ago but the nomination propelled back arrears forward and crist of our own won the german cinematography of constantine bach is currently in beirut conducting research while christopher is on flight of ventura they were both invited to join the academy of motion picture arts and sciences after the oscar nomination the whole experience in l.a. for us was a door opener even beyond the academy what it meant 1st and foremost and this is very important to us there to get a foot in the door is that we signed with an amazing agency there and they set up a lot of meetings and they really encouraged us to take that step and especially for you chris i get scripts. from across the world at the moment. which is what they would have been looking for last summer he was the

cinematographer for the international coproduction a man who sold his skin. submitted it as its entry for the best foreign film oscar and it made the shortlist of dean films. that this is a love story that begins in syria some alley is in love with a beer i am out of town one of the guys ever i don't know why it's so difficult but that carried. the knife out of pocket and britney said look at the. moment it's always up eyes away like that sounds naive calling for revolution will be his undoing the police were hunting down promising comes of flint a letter not while i'm here stays behind marries a diplomat and moves to bounce jump will sam ever see her again. an artist

offers a promising solution and sam becomes a living canvas. do a poor soul. i watch your back. show them are a lot of valuable. because she was sorry early summer or. dark and i like the idea of turning a body. and what it means to that person. to become abusive and that's going to just. with my. you know real. biting satire. and travel around the world. all of this completely control all. this work with. the signature of the day or the. we had that idea of having it. look like a bathing and be like

a gallery or museum you're working on too and looking at those different pieces of art so the so the idea was that it's in the front. like yes. it was. so we created those genes get that from each other but also all of them connected and i was. like my biggest issue of doing this movie was that at the end it turns out like a music video because it's all. because of looking at different. deceitful art world staged and of visually lush fashion the critically acclaimed film celebrated its premiere at the venice film festival it also stars monica bellucci as the cynical gallery owner. scuse me. despite of the expression

the regard for disease and i almost feel like you guys were. sort of like subconsciously inspired by the artist that in real life even though voir he tattooed a real guy the work is called him he he turned this human being into a piece of art which inspired her to write the script and i feel like yeah that twisted innocence is still in how you guys translated that you know with your visual beauty and the wickedness of the script while christopher was busy shooting a coproduction in the summer of 2020 constantine box was in beirut on the 4th 2020 the same dated 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded in the port. he witnessed the night match up close. and then this mushroom appeared out of nowhere and it took

a few seconds before the shock wave hit us but. you know i think the scariest thing was not knowing what's going on as to what the what does this mean for the war or someone talking more of what was happening or just so cool thing didn't realize what was going on. months later and it's still unclear who is to blame for this horrific catastrophe but many blame the politicians and have lost faith in this. case and.

young people in particular don't see a future in beirut. well lebanon anymore constantine bach edited the video of his musician friends i think of the structure really goes beyond the physical destruction and really destroyed something in people and. our friends our family in their hearts and souls and that the structure is much much harder. and even possible than the physical destruction of. constantine bank wants to process the images he's interrupted research on a project and together with the lebanese woman who is developing the script for botox beirut a dark satire takes aim at the widespread corruption in the country it's a film from the fashion scene that tries to highlight the corruption and nepotism behind the beautiful veneer financial support for the development of the screenplay has already been approved in germany. constantine bank plans to shoot in beirut in

2 years. if we want to help in any way it's by telling stories from here and it's also by making a film here and employing our friends in the in the film industry and i have you know bringing there's so much talent here so the best thing we can do is make something shoot. every galaxy market will. and they're carrying that on a plate on a neat made in bangladesh tells the story of shima a seamstress working in a factory an accident or calf's. a colleague dies

and shima realizes how defenseless the workers are. not that much other than. the loss of on a few others have been given a muslim government installed to the stylish political leaders that is exactly. what did it i don't want about some kind of official candidate is not a guy goes there with the legacy. only the women can help themselves you know why don't we set a good law god's will you know 1st of all just and a bit of color in the new double thing that he said i want to acma filled with. this thought provoking statement by the activist saying same and a few she was angered she decides to form a union it's based on a true story that of seamstresses dalia director ruby at hussein metar while researching the textile industry when i met her she immediately expressed interest

and i am certain that her life story is also a chimera. that leave you more when you're 12 and coming to the city he already said something about this young woman that she wanted to you know she will fight and that's what i've been really attracted me to part that i was like wow you know she has that spirit is something very special about her what i was writing about doctors were a lot and of course the planet squared we shared with her she was in the rehearsal with our actors she directors know to operate the saw in the seams so we all of us became friends you know the actors and danielle and so we all wanted to tell the story to get to that point as i'm a film dalia convinced walker's to form a union if we don't like he said it here was good as i label it.

as effective though what i had on 11 at 11 tavern i know what i'm coming up. this is what you will i mean i never can think of. i. was there when things got difficult like people say it was in their chops or the boss finding out. that landlords legality is that her friends turn into her enemies because then they're like nah i don't want to lose my job because it's atrophied my vanity think my children it's really going to happen. everything these women these young women are very much aware of their right but maybe a lot of their do not have it in their to fight to in the end. you know she'll be a leader. who by at her same spent 2 years researching before filming in

bangladesh she likes working with women both in front of the camera and behind it the director also spends time in the us but our work focuses on her home country she works with n.g.o.s meets workshops for women and trains freemount directors she's also creating an initiative to prevent domestic violence by had hussein's film premiered at the toronto film festival and was shown in dakar no one of the order was given i don't know what it was that it was. i got it. thanks to a young woman's courage the 1st garment workers union was founded and registered against the odds so i think it's happening you know there is a women's way this way is happening. all of. us. activists. back to director coca his

comedy are cash has fun with clichés for business. something at a really wanted to make sure is to show that the. idea of war and how ludicrous war is. sure an issue of it you know i live in a number of. you that i live now 5 minute to minute yes there's a who. loves the look on over and i wanted to make sure that we don't just keep having this heroic idea of war and war is this amazing thing and to become a man and to become. a hero and do you know you go to war so it's i wanted to destroy that but at the same time i wanted to add make it sure that the cause is real so is so that balance of the bar fighting for real rights and all that at the same time fighting is

a really dumb crazy thing that hopefully wars will stop so i wanted all that to be played with. shoots joined the rainy season when the fighting stops residents of the nuba mountain villages take part in the filming. and i think. they got less mileage. there's a happy ending at 9 remorsefully returns to lena but he has to learn that women are much stronger than he thought. i'm set at most that what i get a. lebanese cinematographer christopher has enjoyed working with women on films like the satirical drama a man who saw his skin it was a big success for him thanks to an intensive collaboration with writer director cal

for ben honey from tunisia 2021 the film will nat christopher another nomination for the german cinema tom graffiti primes. i deserve to feeling that they want to go. no question. and they want to get to that answer and there's something. that's just me and the way they approach that and i just feel like being there and i think for. right now he's on the island of white of in torah his latest film copilot will premiere at the burnin international film festival he and director under sort of better shape are preparing. it's very atmospheric but it could be anything. the film portrays

a love story between 2 students as lee and saeed when saeed suddenly disappears his family comes after astley but the 2 have sworn to keep their secrets he's telling me. when was the best bank's website if i am i what i did i hear you know how i don't know in my. inquiry and cameramen yorkies you kind of dancing with the actors kind of and they need to work together very. this is about. the who goes from here. i know who can translate the sense of claustrophobia like in a small stage play if you only think. this is for by if you nice man phenomenal. appeared to give. me his plight be here. with ideas.

as they prepare for the film's world premiere christopher are noon and and are sore about ashamed of choosing press photos. meanwhile in berlin coca is recovering from a stressful time in sudan a lot has changed that the civil war has eased but it's a fragile peace destruction ethnic tensions and high levels of corruption a slowing development efforts for years the filmmakers supported the revolution taking to the streets among thousands of others since 2018 there's been an apparent break in the fighting but there's still no calm in sudan the country remains torn apart it's exhausting and not just for. his hopes of a new beginning have been dashed at the end of last year he was arrested because of

a theatre workshop in which women took part that displays the religiously minded police. it took an outcry from international filmmakers to get her released from prison. on the steps of getting into real peace but we're struggling with new things new things we're struggling with a technocrat government that can't really deal with running the government alongside this military and the national security and the remainder of the all dream team with all mentality with the old mind shift. so now where we're set we're like we could do it it is that is the time in sudan's history where we could do it if we fail it's us failing but it still needs a lot of energy to go forward i sure as coca isn't giving up he's planning a film about the odyssey of african people trying to reach europe a form of african road trip. despite the
