PODCAST| Angelo Acerbi interviews Ewa Bukowska, director of the film 53 Wars.
Ewa Bukowska talks about her first feature film 53 Wars, and about her interest in sufferance that comes from wars to the people that are involved. She chooses a different narrative approach, telling the story of a woman married to a war correspondent who does not manage the situation anymore and slowly slides into mental disorder.
53 Wars: When Anka and Witek decide to have a baby, she gives up her career as a journalist while he continues his as a war correspondent. Anka starts to live in fear of receiving a phone call telling her that her husband has died and she ends up developing a post-traumatic stress syndrome similar to that of soldiers fighting on the front. The actress Ewa Bukowska debuts behind the movie camera for a powerful female portrait, part family drama and part psychological thriller.
Michel Franco about "Dreams" : 'When the father says "It’s okay to help immigrants, but there are limits," that’s the biggest question in the film: can people [from different contexts] truly see each other as equals?'
"Future Future" director Davi Pretto: 'The apocalypse is not what Hollywood says it is, a huge bang. That's not the apocalypse. The apocalypse is happening every day.'
'The screenplay of "They Come Out of Margo"', says director Alexandros Voulgaris, 'started with another composer, then it became personal, and then it also became about female artists in the 70s and 80s.'
"Bidad" director Soheil Beiraghi: 'A lot is happening in Iran: there is life, their is beauty, and there is a happiness around, and we need to portray that.'
