PODCAST| Matt Micucci interviews Aenne Schwarz, actress of the film All Good.
Actress Aenne Schwarz talks about All Good, directed by Eva Trobisch, which was featured in the competition program of the 3rd International Film Festival of Macao. She plays the role of the protagonist of the film, Janne, who, in short, is raped but refuses to let the experience put her in the position of a victim. In this interview, Schwarz talks about this as well as her own thoughts on the narrative that is used to talk about rape and whether working on this film helped her see things from a different perspective. We close this interview by also asking her simply why it is that she acts.
All Good: “If you don’t see any problems, you don’t have any” is Janne’s attitude regarding the fact that her new boss’s brother-in-law has forced himself on her one night after a party. She keeps the incident under wraps and lets everything take its normal course. Her silence has consequences, though, and not just for her relationship with her boyfriend.
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.'
