Interview With Sylvia Schedelbauer

I firmly believe that films can make a difference. Films can communicate, they can connect. Films can produce a different mode of knowing. Films can change the fabric of one’s thinking. Films can have (proxy) agency. Watching films can feel like a deeply intimate encounter, like meeting someone on a very personal level.

Interview with Wang Bing

When I am shooting, I have to be very close to each character I am filming. I need to be close to them to fully document their stories and ensure I can capture their stories in their entirety.
