  • Interview with Sander Joon, director of Sierra

    Parents often push their children to follow their steps. In this case, the father’s obsession with the rally turns the kid into a car tire. Loosely inspired by the director’s childhood, Sierra takes us into the surreal car racing world. What inspired you to make Sierra, an animation film that... continue

    Lina and Inès do not know each other. Yet they have one thing in common: parkour. From roof to roof, from wall to barrier, the two teenagers observe each other from a distance, like, try to get closer. But, because they don’t want to be seen, they are constantly interrupted. What interested you... continue

    Ghostly, the temporarily shut down cruise ships lie in the port of Hamburg. A young man comes into town and is stranded on the riverbank, waiting for a message. He watches couples strolling along in the sunset and gets himself some sweets. In a moment of collective pause, Islands in the City... continue

Q&A with Philip Ilson, director of the London Short Film Festival

by Abla Kandalaft
More Q&As! As Coco Green gets stuck in the final chapters of her PhD, we take a break from our usual format to publish Q&As and whatever audio output we fancy.

Interview wih Katherine Propper, director of Birds

by brasserieducourt.com, Elise Loiseau
Moments in the lives of Austin teenagers in the heat of Texas summer. How was Birds born? I wanted to make this film, in part, to explore my creative process. My last short film involved a local community of young people whom I spent time with and worked with to make a film about their world. Birds expands on that approach more deeply. This film is more improvised, more off-the-cuff and observational, blurring the lines of doc and narrative in a way that was new for me. It was also my way (...) Continue Reading »

Interview with Sander Joon, director of Sierra

by Elise Loiseau
Parents often push their children to follow their steps. In this case, the father’s obsession with the rally turns the kid into a car tire. Loosely inspired by the director’s childhood, Sierra takes us into the surreal car racing world. What inspired you to make Sierra, an animation film that deals with the pressures parents can put on their children? After talking to my friends and acquaintances I found that the pressure from their parents to choose the “right career” is quite common. (...) Continue Reading »

Q&A with Rich Lucano, aka Phondupe

by Abla Kandalaft, Eddy Durnan
Phondupe is the musical outfit of Sydney artist Rich Lucano. His ambient tunes and evocative soundscapes found quite a following amongst restless, locked-in listeners during Covid. His masterful sampling of everyday sounds picked up during his many travels lends itself particularly well to visual art. In fact, as a bit of a film buff, he is looking into pivoting towards film soundtracks. You’ve travelled extensively and have drawn on the places you’ve been to to create and shape your music. (...)

THE CHARM OF THE SWARM - WORLD WIDE WIKIPEDIA

by Louis Christie
The internet giant Wikipedia just turned 20. We take a look at its background and the future of the online encyclopaedia. Louis Christie reviews Maria Teresa Curzio 2021’s documentary. Now in its third decade, Wikipedia faces some complex questions. What role can robots play in writing and regulating articles? Can automated translation help save indigenous languages?

Interview with Simon London, director of That Workman’s Arm

by Abla Kandalaft, brasserieducourt.com
What motivated you to tell the story of these two characters? What did you want to explore through their relationship? I was interested in telling a story about understanding. I wanted to bring two characters together who might see each other in a unique and forgiving way, even though they have been pitted against each other by a situation they didn’t create. It’s an exploration of human connection despite circumstance and the vulnerabilities we all have. I’m also really interested in the (...) Continue Reading »

by Abla Kandalaft, brasserieducourt.com
Upon his arrival at a prestigious military high school, Woyzeck, an officer’s son, meets Bakary, a student from a modest background with whom he will share a room. During a night of integration, the two boys will try to find their place in the Family, a group of influential students. Why did you choose a military school as the setting for your story? Is it an environment that you know well? In my previous short films, I have already explored exclusively male environments. In choosing a (...) Continue Reading »
