PODCAST| Angelo Acerbi interviews Peter Mackie Burns and Valentina Brazzini,director and producer of the film Daphne.
Peter Mackie Burns and Valentina Brazzini, respectively director and producer of Daphne, talk at our mikes about the genesis of this film. A sincere and moving (and funny too) portrait of a single girl in London. A normal life story for an outstanding film.
Daphne is thirty-one years old and leads a frenetic life, juggling her job at a restaurant in a fashionable part of London, her social life, and the men who fall hopelessly in love with her, despite all the signals she sends them. The cynical detachment she has developed toward life seems to be all-purpose, but happiness is another matter. This stalemate is unblocked when someone tries to kill a store manager: the girl witnesses the event and that forces her to fight the inevitability of a change which has become imperative.
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.'
