aluCine 2015 Q&A Latin Canadian Filmakers

2016

April 5, 2015

This session makes us realize that we “the audience”, the spectators in the movie theatre, have the opportunity to watch the different ways in which reality can be presented. Time works in our favor, mainly because we need it to better understand the daily life of some characters. And if we do not understand other languages… this is a very familiar question for us Canadians who are also from elsewhere.April 5, 2015

can you talk a little bit of a book

0:10

Torah I am and how these because I know

0:13

that you were really close to busy later

0:15

but also how is how was it conceived and

0:18

why say that you wanted to make a film

0:21

about mental illness all album I can

0:25

speak more support from the virtual

0:27

server but with a little story the

0:30

intention of the director was to our to

0:32

portray the metal-insulator house

0:35

especially hour ago studies pursuing

0:38

hair like for many years from even in a

0:40

couple of generations before so it’s

0:42

kind of magical and because he merely

0:44

this comment like a schizophrenic he’s a

0:47

brilliant moment you like that so that’s

0:50

why the correct their errors unlike you

0:52

i interrupting are the best moments of

0:56

her life and affecting it affecting her

0:58

a regulation system is a community-run

1:02

so I mean in japanese so this into her

1:04

to make appearances were afraid that’s

1:08

why you Pastor the Japanese are their

1:10

stories my daddy for dinner I Spartacus

1:15

I was a Julia the interior ascaso for

1:17

that p.m. two years ago so I was a very

1:21

familiar with the process and I kind of

1:23

talk about the information about the

1:25

foreigner and within your whole

1:27

community that which is in the Brazilian

1:30

over here also but it’s also very

1:31

Universal intervals alright and yeah I

1:36

have been preserved in the Northeast for

1:40

almost year and in the Northeast there’s

1:44

a type of music actually copy

1:46

hopeful home and when I moved back here

1:49

I was shocked to see that there was a

1:51

huge full C in Toronto with incredible

1:55

artists and it happens really regularly

1:58

and a lot of artists artists people from

2:05

the community members from the key needy

2:06

who aren’t even Brazilian are really

2:09

into it and so I just wanted you two to

2:13

do peace in the music that was played

2:16

with original health in the film which

2:18

was really special because it’s rare

2:20

that gets made like from that

2:23

traditional Tyson and a little over the

2:26

time before me ah sure add the foreigner

2:30

is kind of cheese I thought it would be

2:34

interesting to make the story about

2:36

foreigner in their own city and how

2:39

that’s reflective of some some some

2:44

experiences you have especially the

2:46

facing tanto yeah I me sad it was a

2:49

white eating in committee sometimes when

2:52

they were seeing people’s be Jewish it

2:55

sanitation and that was actually yeah

2:57

that was intentional um I debated about

3:01

whether or not to include subtitles i

3:05

love feedback about but it was actually

3:09

ah yeah i wasn’t sure that I felt when

3:15

they were in if you lost a part of the

3:18

reality for peace and yeah I guess

3:24

indian but I look back I think I

3:27

decision because this also how

3:30

experiences the entire situation so yeah

3:34

I’ve already interested

3:36

like when I first screen it privately to

3:39

a lot of the people in the field like

3:41

the Brazilians reaction to a number

3:43

things like there’s kind of an inside

3:45

joke cuz anymore is really making fun of

3:51

yeah okay somebody feeling and how would

4:02

you be came to uh you know peace is well

4:05

as usually when your home folder with

4:08

this subject is accomplished choice or

4:12

the coalface to go towards vitamins and

4:15

love for Scott solutions but I think

4:20

there’s so much more violence in wars

4:22

what’s going on many of the reasons why

4:25

we are suffering in Mexico what’s going

4:27

on with mega traffic comes to the fact

4:29

that all the choices we have taken in

4:32

order to start driving traffic it’s just

4:34

making it worse all those conservative

4:36

choices we have been taking in order to

4:39

stop it it just make it it stronger so

4:41

we are Trina a market we are creating

4:43

our feeds is huge monster so that’s why

4:48

I certain to have this approach towards

4:51

a program and there is no shoes a priest

4:53

is not because I was trying to insult

4:56

religion or anything it just because

4:58

it’s one of the obvious institutions in

5:00

the country

5:01

an American Civil this institution and

5:03

the point is that even that institution

5:06

has been taken by the library traffic as

5:09

it has happened in Italy a second in

5:11

Colombia too so I don’t have taken a

5:14

pre-socratic in an engineer pretty much

5:16

everybody’s working for it now so i used

5:19

to choose because well it was a very

5:21

strong symbol of foreign culture to a

5:24

night night it was perfect one as we see

5:27

the very first shot to be handed on

5:30

church I mean sub church with burial

5:32

place all falling apart so it’s like

5:34

this power behind everything another

5:37

same time now where can I do yeah so is

5:43

there a Chilean in okay so okay the

5:47

content is about my best try to prove

5:52

that in Chile people have been making

5:55

the same film for almost 100 years

6:05

especially

6:07

so the idea was to prove that the makers

6:12

are depicting the lefties and righties

6:15

since 1920 85 and about the deform what

6:21

I try to do was to use well to walk away

6:24

from big productions with gigantic crews

6:28

big budget and big equipment and I don’t

6:34

try to bring cinema closer to other art

6:38

forms like poetry for instance that

6:42

going to use a pen and a paper so I try

6:46

to care to keep the quality of the film

6:51

as a youtube film were like very big

6:55

held and really low fire yeah so that

7:00

was good and well this film was made

7:08

while i was in cuban and i was very

7:12

trying to acquire door so i was in

7:14

eastern Cuba very remote part of the

7:17

country and I meta glad for this elderly

7:19

man and I was touched by his world

7:22

that’s very sort of solitude with its

7:25

own piece of time and he barely had any

7:28

contact with other humans and so I was

7:32

sort of a dog

7:32

ending this and then when I went into

7:35

the editing of the film I started to

7:37

think about why it was that I was so

7:40

drawn to him because I think often as

7:42

filmmakers my belief is that in my

7:47

experience I’m drawn to people that I

7:50

guess I see some part of myself in them

7:52

and so I realized that this loneliness

7:56

that I had seen in this man or the

7:58

solitude was something that I also felt

8:01

through that I also experienced and so

8:02

we were sort of united by this but then

8:05

there was this impossibility of ever

8:07

really connecting and so that’s what the

8:11

film is about is representing this kind

8:12

of dance between two lonely individuals

8:16

beautifully done wheezes yeah here’s my

8:22

rights and they make me sick I and I

8:25

hate a lot of merchants of people so I

8:28

avoid anything like that as a killer is

8:31

to work setting up amusement rice and

8:34

people always kill themselves and we

8:37

always laugh cuz with no kids laugh at

8:39

that kind of thing and uh so yeah I just

8:42

stood the camera into this right at the

8:46

X the big Canadian exhibition that we

8:49

have here and I just you know I just

8:54

recorded that I I felt you know I always

8:57

think that he’ll make me hell makes me

8:59

laugh like the idea of a place

9:01

there’s frames and crowd ously

9:03

absolutely hilarious is like really

9:06

idiotic to me so you know I just

9:08

celebrated that thank you

9:17

oh ok

9:22

i get i get a

9:24

for work and large amounts of people

9:27

really freaked me out that’s that I’m

9:28

not saying I’m a misanthrope although

9:30

I’ve many of accuse me of that and the

9:32

bottom line but I will deny it don’t

9:34

tell my dying day okay um somebody yep

9:41

shown the back and the museum Cynara and

9:44

everyone this is a wonderful program a

9:46

lot of really strong amazing work a lot

9:49

of work on screen and it’s just a

9:52

wonderful to see this collection of

9:55

toronto-based and canadian-based work

9:57

it’s amazing thank you thank you a

10:00

Canadian authorities in vancouver camino

10:05

montreal and i said to know montreal and

10:08

toronto toronto toronto so yeah i met

10:12

somebody else only makers are going to

10:14

be here when I hundra now is even

10:16

between Colombia Venezuela he’s a

10:18

working with a big big project and my

10:22

question is for Lara aye I think your

10:26

film is beautiful and it’s just another

10:30

level is very well done and I’m just

10:33

kind of questioning that what I saw what

10:37

your to the introduction of yourself in

10:41

it as first your boys by making the

10:44

question why are you thinking and your

10:46

toes at the at the end and I don’t know

10:49

if I self and I’m missing another one

10:51

but I’m just interested in

10:54

it is that like that choice of including

10:57

a bit of yourself and in it in

10:59

comparison to all of it yeah it’s

11:03

something that I’m still questioning

11:04

whether that was the right choice or not

11:07

because on one hand you know if I would

11:12

have taken that presents out I think it

11:15

would have just been a very clean

11:16

portrait of this man in his space but

11:21

that wasn’t really the heart of what I

11:23

wanted to represent what I wanted to

11:25

represent if I go to the very first

11:27

image where there’s these two little

11:28

lights that are moving around in the

11:31

dark it was I wanted to talk about this

11:33

this dance or this space between the

11:37

lights and so I felt that I was part of

11:45

the film and so that moment when I ask

11:48

Eduardo what are you thinking it’s like

11:51

I recognize that on one hand it breaks

11:53

this world and it breaks the silence but

11:56

I also chose to include it because I

11:58

felt that it was such a concrete way of

12:01

representing I asked him and he never

12:04

answers you know and so that was kind of

12:07

the crux of of the story sorry but to me

12:11

it does answer to me door sensor because

12:14

his his gaze tells you so much saw him

12:18

even saying anything and that’s I agree

12:21

that the next shot you have to have that

12:23

other shelters will be perfect

12:27

oh yes please yeah my question was put a

12:32

foreigner actually had to say I really

12:36

enjoyed the film but i wanted to share

12:38

something really fun ashley everything

12:40

Lucy cuz ever you relate to the

12:42

character because actually how I do shoe

12:45

today this kind of like exactly actually

12:51

I was walking Thursday and I was walking

12:56

down college on the way to an event but

12:58

I was birdie I said I’ll go get

13:01

something to eat around here you know

13:02

there must be some way to eat some

13:03

walking around and then I’d like see

13:06

this like this like party one on this

13:08

little restaurant so there’s no fun you

13:11

know so I go in I saw look at the window

13:14

look at the same plane is Brazilian

13:17

music hello music hello music

13:20

Wow awesome perfect i’ll just go ahead

13:23

and they’re just sometimes wait is over

13:25

so I walk in there and it’s like i see

13:28

like you know girls making out oh wow

13:33

this is so cool girls both a

13:38

little bit annoying mine so they don’t

13:41

like you know i see i see her and she

13:44

was a person to anyway that’s community

13:46

look interesting something she can be

13:48

pretty silly antics as well be living

13:51

below i ask you to be teaching our dash

13:53

go home there’s a time long enough she’s

13:56

talking full of each is another problem

13:58

start dancing and had a great time and

14:01

then she told me

14:08

I’m scared and I see the seller is

14:10

basically like it feels like surreal

14:21

so it’s not a short story but I think

14:23

it’s a great film and it almost like

14:27

these people I always by Iron Chef this

14:30

is like if you want to that’s great it’s

14:36

really funny because I could I need

14:38

every single person in the same

14:43

community from Xavier office afaria now

14:46

looking at faith ends with every single

14:48

one is in the background and analysis

14:52

and I put in the community and I can see

14:55

how you hadn’t come from your community

14:56

support and it’s really amazing to watch

14:59

it’s pretty great lateral and also

15:04

continued on the foreigner that I really

15:08

enjoyed and as a brazilian i can i can i

15:12

can really understand why i chose not to

15:15

put the subtitles because when he is

15:19

talking with the form the brazilian guys

15:22

talking with this morning he’s trying to

15:24

get the for a guy to go and get a girl

15:28

dance and but he’s got his hand like

15:31

that and then you shoot the end and you

15:33

can see and then the guy understood that

15:35

he’s asking him dance but that wasn’t

15:37

related and so as a brazilian i know

15:40

that what’s happening and then you can

15:43

really relate to the foreigner in that

15:46

aspect us and he just misunderstands and

15:49

goes for it and if it was if it was

15:52

translated then the people who don’t

15:54

speak Portuguese would know more than

15:57

they want a foreigner moves so I

15:59

appreciate the fact that if you

16:01

understand Portuguese yeah I don’t know

16:03

that he’s not anybody I’m dance but if

16:05

you don’t you might might agree with the

16:08

corner when he gets his it was really

16:10

neat that would a funny story up at them

16:14

shooting it because as you mentioned it

16:16

was such a new project and dem most of

16:20

the cast and the Astros on sets but

16:23

Portuguese except for Nathaniel is the

16:26

lead and then all a lot of the crew

16:29

didn’t misspeak Cochise and although

16:31

there was a script the riddim of who

16:33

stars as that his partner was add the

16:37

vanilla like Nikita and he was being

16:39

really funny and so everyone would be

16:41

laughing try not to laugh and every like

16:44

the GOP and the Daniel had no idea what

16:48

you think dagger times it was like the

16:51

diamond look at the film played out of

16:52

Austin on the set and an end another my

16:58

favorite story of the stat ilysm you had

17:01

this focus puller just wasn’t like

17:05

feeling the music she’s just really

17:07

stairwell the entire shoot but I caught

17:10

it on the very end the very last take

17:12

dancing to the music and like grabbing

17:15

another person from the set and dancing

17:18

and there’s a yeah everybody is going to

17:21

fall off yeah I gotta never told me how

17:25

to dance for robust here and to chi

17:29

17:31
