Director's comment
How long did it take to make your short? Was it difficult to get financing?It took about two years in total. We decided to try crowd-funding to finance the film and it was a tremendous success. In the end we ran two separate campaigns – one for production costs and one for post-production – and were supported by 161 people, which was a great motivator.
Which thoughts come to mind concerning a “European cinema community”?
I think it’s a crucial step towards challenging the monopoly that Hollywood has over audiences across the world.
If you owned a theatre for one night, which films would you screen?
It depends where the theatre is. If it was in New York, I’d show a night of Palestinian revolutionary cinema and archival material. If it was in Palestine, I’d show a night of Third Cinema films.
What is your next project?
I’m cutting together a feature documentary on the Egyptian Revolution using the video archive that has been collected and housed by the Mosireen Collective, of which I’m a member.
