to morrow to do it. in 60 minutes on d w. we've got some hot tips for your bucket list. the magic corner. cards are for friends share and some great cultural mores to boot. to when you travel we go. though painful to see so many people leave the country now because they just don't see any future here anymore. is the tie downs history where we could do it if we fail it's us failing but it

still needs a lot of energy. making films against the roofs creating images that have never existed before highlighting problems that's what filmmaking is about for many young people we've met a lot of them over the years in the talents program which always takes place at the same time as the bun in international film festival bringing together over $200.00 up and coming filmmakers from in over the one. thing we caught up with 4 of them i guess and. how shows coke come from sudan. constantine and chris to pop our own from germany and lebanon. andrew by had her saying from

a dash. of science he wants to make films by his people. we met him in berlin in february when it was freezing cold. he was visiting friends i'm taking a break from the stress of sort. 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 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 in south sudan he participated in the balun on

a tolerance program after making the award winning documentary beats of the antonov . and it's a film about music identity and war the sooner you learn about the war the using music so within that the music and on daily life and concentrate on people in the been. moved to the nuba mountains in 2012 as a war raged between the government and as many 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. you scared like you naturally scared everybody around you. scared everybody's

running into foxholes there's a moment when you come out that you want to make sure everybody's ok is that moment of fear but as soon as you know that everybody is ok then there's that moment of extreme happiness. the bass documentary audience 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 these 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 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 the night together at 9 gets into trouble when lena becomes jealous with some leave. you know within the shock of it. does it. look a little. director's shopper film with a small team area without running which i don't want to 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 do 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 it means that it means a lot to us and it was amazing that the film actually also ended up in huge festivals and went around. mad constantine voc and christopher own when they participated in the $29.00 team thomas program that want to gather on the international coproduction after now constantine bock as editor and crist of our own as cinematographer. parts for 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 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. 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 of won the past foreign film oscar 2 years ago but the nomination propelled back arrears forward and crist of our own one the german cinematography of all constantine bach is currently in beirut conducting research while christopher is on fire to ventura they were both invited to join the academy of motion picture arts and sciences after the oscar nomination that 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 got scripts. from across the world at the moment.

which is what i've been looking for last summer he was the cinematographer for the international coproduction a man who sold his skin your newsier submitted it as its entry for the best foreign film oscar and it made the shortlist of dean films. that this is a lump story that begins in syria some alley is in love with a beer there is no doubt found one of its yes i don't know why it's so difficult but that carried. a lot of hot apart and pretty secular. and what did you was up by itself a level that sounds naive calling for revolution will be his undoing the police were hunted down forcing counterflow to laugh or not while a year stays behind marries a diplomat and moves to belgium will some ever see her again. an artist

offers a promising solution and sam becomes a living canvas. my soul. i want your back and. show them are a lot of data on. with you is a book. she was sorry early summer. but i like the idea of turning. this over and what it means to that person. to become abusers and that's going to just blew me away. with my legs. up biting satire. and travel around the world. with the liquid gold so will. this work with. the signature of the day or the.

we had that idea of having. looked 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 to see in the front that actually like us and. it was. so we created those scenes it out from each other but also all of them connected and i was. like my biggest shooting this movie was that at the end it turns out like a music video because it's all. because of the scene looking at different. deceitful art world stage to know 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. this part of the expression

there we are for it is something i almost feel like you guys were sort of like subconsciously inspired by the artist that there's in real life even though why are he tattooed a real guy the workers called him here he turned this human being into a piece of art which inspired 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 a square. while crist of our own was busy shooting a coproduction in the summer of 2020 constantine barak was in beirut on august the 4th 2020 the same day that 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded in the port. he witnessed a nightmare up close. and then this

mushroom appeared out of nowhere and it took a few seconds before the shock wave hit out but. you know i think the scariest thing was not knowing what's going on is good what the what does this mean for the war or someone attacking more of what was happening we were 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 i've lost faith in the state. case that i would lean in.

young people in particular don't see a future in beirut or levanon anymore constantine bach edited the video of his musician friends i think that the fraction really goes beyond the physical destruction and 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 if it's 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 plans to shoot in beirut in 2 years. if we want to help in any way by telling stories from here and it's also making a film here and employing our friends in the film industry and i have you know bringing there's so much telling here so the best thing we can do is make something shoot. that it's remarkable that. and you're carrying that on a whore economy made in bangladesh tells the story of shima

a seamstress working in a factory an accident a calf's. a colleague dies and shima realizes how defenseless the workers are. not that much older than i have gotten on a few others have but again i'm as i'm going off to do this a little with the biggest selling. point to think i don't worry about something i don't know if i should handle it is not a guy cancer be the legacy. only the women can help themselves you know what a piece of good and i got on the net for a little context and a bit of course in lieu doublethink and he said i want to acma filled with. this thought provoking statement by the activist saying sane and fuels she has anger she decides to form a union it's based on a true story that of seamstresses dalia director ruby at hussein matter while

researching the textile industry when i met her she immediately expressed an interest and i gave also feel 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 if you want to be defeated you know she will fight and that's what i've been really attracted me to part now that i was like wow you know she has that spirit is something very special about her when i was writing about dr who are a lot and of course planet squared we shared with her she was in the rehearsal with our actors she directs his luck to operate restoring the seam so we all of us became friends you know the actors and danielle and joey i wanted to tell the story together that's when i cast in a film dahlia convinced was to form a union if we don't like this that it here was. is either going.

to effect a though i don't have an 11 am 11th hour now i want to come out. those who. were killed. and i never think of. i. was there when the things got difficultly people started losing their job search the boss finding out. that's where the legality is that her friends turn into her enemies because then they're like no i don't want to lose my job because it's after people are granted to feed my children it's really important to have. everything leaving and news young women are very much aware of their right but maybe a lot of their do not have it in them to fly to in the end. you know me

a leader. who by it was saying 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 her work focuses on her home country she works with n.g.o.s meets one transport women and trains female 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 la carno one of the one of the i don't know what if and only one that was tried i'm going. thanks to a young woman's courage the 1st garment workers union was founded and registered against the arts so i think it's happening here is the women's way this way is happening you know all of. us.

activists. back to director coca his comedy are cash has fun with cliches so there's that. something at a really wanted to make sure to show that the. idea of war and how ludicrous war is . your image of it you know i live in a number of the let me know give a loud man 5 men and women and yes and there's a hope for the love that they're looking over and i wanted to make sure that we don't just keep having this heroic idea of war and war in this amazing thing and become a man and become. a hero and do you know you can 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 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 during the rainy season when the fighting stops residents of the nuba mountain villages take part in the filming. and i think. they get 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 know so what i get a. lebanese cinematographer christopher has enjoyed working with women on films like the

satirical drama the man who saw his skin it was a big success for him thanks to an intensive collaboration with writer director counter ban honey from tunisia in 2021 the film will nat christopher another nomination for the german cinematography prime's. i deserve to feeling that they want to go. no question. and they want to get to that answer and there's something. that got to me in the way they approach there and i just feel like being there and fighting for that. right now he's on the island of white of and toward 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 a sleep but the 2 have sworn to keep their secrets he's told me. when i was the best by his full sight if i am here i was i don't live here you know i don't know in my films. and camera man. he is kind of dancing with the actors kind of and they need to work together very. this is. the who goes from here. i know you can't trust the sense of claustrophobia like in a small stage play it for me think. this is for by you finished my phenomenal.

gives. me his plight be here. with ideas. as they prepare for the films world premiere christopher a new and and are sore about a shake 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 as nick tensions and high levels of corruption a slowing development efforts for years the filmmakers supported the revolution taking to the streets among thousands of obvious since $28.00 seem 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 by how jews coca his hopes of
