Valeria Sarmiento - I was always interested in showing female characters and their problems.
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. He was born on 9.11.1948, studied photo-documentary school in Stockholm and graduated from Danish film school. He is one of the few directors who won Cézar Award in Cannes twice. He broke into stardom by Oscar winning movie Pelle the Conqueror starring Max von Sydow.He collasborated with other notable stars such as Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, Uma Thurman, Liam Neeson among others. 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.
Steve Krikris - It was always tough to make films in Greece cos there is s small market
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.
Three days before FebioFest we didn´t know anything about this Scandinavian director, so hastily tried to get some information but they were all about her latest film Holiday which she also introduced in Prague When we met her and told her we want to ask about different things she replied “ Thank Godness” and it was interesting talk with interesting person.
