11:34 pm
that moment of fear but as soon as you notice everybody is ok then there's that moment of extreme happiness like. the basque 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 so i was living in brooklyn i had my fixie bike that i love and it's an easy life is nice 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. walked as a wall 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 childhood. you would see those goods on the streets everywhere you would see families also between lanes and on the highway you're just used to ignore them you just treat them like 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 wrong 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. 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

11:41 pm
a gallery or museum you walking onto and looking at those different pieces of art so the so the idea was to have it seen completely different. so we created those scenes that from each other but also all of them connected and i was. like my biggest scarcer thing this movie was that at the end it turns out like a music video because it's all not. because of. a deceitful art world staged an officially 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. this part of the expedition to the us
11:42 pm

11:43 pm
mushroom appeared out of nowhere and it took a few seconds before the shockwave hit us but. you know i think the scariest thing was not knowing what's going on as the what the what does this mean for the war or someone attacking more of what was happening or just so poor 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 the state. case it would.
11:44 pm
young people in particular don't see a future in beirut or levanon anymore constantine back in to take the video of his musician friends think of the structure really goes beyond the physical the structure had really destroyed something and people and. our friends our family in their hearts and souls and that the structure is much much harder to fix it and even possible than the physical the structure of. constantine bach wants to process the images he's interrupted research on a project and together with the lebanese woman he's developing the script for both tanks beirut and 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

11:47 pm
and i am certain that her life story is also a chimera. that leaving more when you're 12 and coming to the city already says something about this young woman that she wanted to keep you know she will fight and that's what i've been really track of course the planet squared we shared with her she was in the rehearsal with our actors she daughter actors love to operate the saw in the scene so we all of us became friends even the actors and danielle and zoe i wanted to tell the story together fact that when i asked her in a film dalia convinced walkers to form a union if we don't like this and it gives an oz it is either going. to effect to the what i read on a love one another 11 thought of or not and i'm a. little. more feeling i mean i never get it
