American director, producer and screenwriter James L. Brooks is extraordinary and talented man .Without film education he got into CBS, where he acted as an usher and worked for them as a writer. He continued writing for further shows which became successful and then in 1979 he wrote and co-produced a movie called Starting Over.Next project was Terms of Endearment for which he collected three Academy Awards.in 1984 he founded his own television and film company Gracie Films.Three years later while working for Tracey Ullman Show he hired Matt Groening and they created popular-to be- series The Simpsons.

We wrote him and asked if he would answer our questions to which he agreed. We got them back two years later due to his workload but still were very happy with that.

One of the guests of FebioFest 2019 was Chilean director Valeria Sarmiento. We took an interest in her not only because she was a wife of important Chilean director Raúl Ruiz, but also because they both had to escape from Chile after Junta coup´d´etat and start new life in France. Although we are not familiar with her films, aforementioned facts urged us to make interview with her.

British director Jim Loach is a son of much respected and acclaimed director Ken Loach. He arrived to Zlín Film Festival between shooting just for 17 hours during which he managed to open screening of his film Measures of the man ........and gave us and interview. We didn´t know about his existence up until about month ago when we saw his movie Oranges and Sunshine, which we liked very much. But we fell in love with Jim within 20 minutes since he is very modest, nice, friendly and approachable and we liked his attitude towards filming.

One of the star guests of FebioFest 2019 who received Kristian award was Danish director Bille August.

Ingmar Bergman asked him to direct a film With best intentions for which he wrote a script. Bille August is quiet, remarkable man who now works in China where he opened a studio and made films produced by Tianpeng Media.

Greek-American film maker Steve Krikris was invited to Febio Fest 2019 and showed here his film “ The Waiter”. We knew nothing about him but the fact that he moved from America to Greece and not vice versa, to make movies was big enough incentive for us to ask him for interview.
