IDFA Daily #3 2016 (English)

International Section 21/22 nov 2016

Open Forum IDFA’s respected Forum co-financing event kicks off on Monday with 60 projects on the roster and popular topics including the ongoing migrant crisis and fresh perspectives on China. By Melanie Goodfellow With the global debate on migration in full swing following the recent Brexit vote, Donald Trump’s election as US president and a rise in nationalist sentiment across Europe, IDFA industry chief Adriek van Nieuwenhuyzen, who oversees the Forum, notes an uptick in the number of projects tackling the migrant crisis.

“We got a lot of refugee stories among the 500 submissions, but we had to turn many of them down. It’s a sad fact but we can’t have fifteen projects on the same topic. It’s also very hard to make films that stay relevant in this ocean of refugee stories. But we’ve included some, because that is what our society is dealing with at the moment and we’re a reflection of what is going on”, she says.

Among those that made the cut is James Bluemel’s Exodus: Our Journey to Europe, the second instalment of his Exodus feature series capturing the experiences of refugees and economic migrants seeking new lives in Europe.

Under the project, lead-produced by the UK’s KEO Films, seventy-five smartphones were handed out to people planning to enter Europe from a variety of locations such as conflict-hit Syria and depressed African economies such as Gambia. The material they submitted was intercut with interviews on the ground at various stages of their journey. Bluemel plans to revisit some of the characters, such as 11-year-old Syrian Isra and her extended family, who are now in Germany after a perilous journey across the Mediterranean, and Alaige from Gambia who nearly died of heat exposure as he crossed the Sahara in a convoy and was then held by bandits in Libya before making it to Europe.

New views on China

In a sign of how China and its place in the world is changing, a number of projects also give a fresh perspective on the industrial giant. Academy Award-winning directors Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert will present the working titled Chinese Factory: USA about the re-opening of a former General Motors truck plant in the declining town of Daytona, Ohio, by a Chinese billionaire to manufacture windshields. Although it offers the city’s jobless residents a life-line, this comes on very Chinese terms. “It really talks about what happens when factories close down”, says Van Nieuwenhuyzen.

Dutch director Pieter Fleury will present the multi-layered Spokesman, exploring how party officials are coming round to the world of modern-day spin in a world where social networks mean remaining silent in the event of national disasters is no longer an option.

Other central pitches include Canadian director Yung Chang’s This is not a Movie, about the 40-year career of Middle East correspondent Robert Fisk.

Returnees

Among the IDFA returnees pitching this year is Eugene Jarecki, who will pitch Father of my Country about Cuban dissident and poet Omar Pérez, who discovered in his 20s that he is also the secret love child of Che Guevara. “From the material we saw in the submission, it’s also very much about the relationship between Jarecki and Omar Pérez; it’s like this encounter between the two men”, says Van Nieuwenhuyzen.

Round Tables

As in previous years, there will be separate Round Table Pitches for Crossmedia and Art & Culture, with one of the highlights of the latter section being French actress Sandrine Bonnaire’s upcoming bio doc about 1960s icon Marianne Faithfull.

It will follow her journey from being discovered at the age

of 17 in 1960s London, life with Mick Jagger, addiction to drugs and alcohol and rebirth as a performer later in life.

It is being produced by Paris-based Cinétéve. “Sandrine Bonnaire won’t make it unfortunately, because she is on the set of another film, but it really sounds like a fun film,” says Van Nieuwenhuyzen.

Forum legacy

In the backdrop, the legacy of the Forum can be seen in this year’s IDFA festival selection. A total of sixteen former Forum projects are playing in the festival this year, including Chilean director Maite Alberdi’s The Grown-Ups and Still Tomorrow by China’s Jian Fan, competing in the Feature-Length competition.

Elsewhere, Zaineb Hates The Snow, about a Tunisian girl who moves to Canada shortly after the sudden death of her father in an accident, is playing in Panorama after winning a number of awards on the Arab film festival circuit.

Johan Grimonprez’s Shadow World, which was presented at the Forum in 2012, has taken centre-stage in this year’s Paradocs programme after a successful festival tour.

It is also a contender in this year’s Oscar race, alongside other former Forum projects such as Raoul Peck’s I Am Not Your Negro, which was at the market last year.

Coco de mer

Let’s talk about sex Danish directors Lea Glob and Mette Carla Albrechtsen have revealed that their ground-breaking new documentary Venus (in which young women from Copenhagen speak frankly on camera about their sexual experiences and fantasies) is to spawn a book – and there may also be a sequel. The book, also to be called Venus, will be published by Gyldendal in the spring at around the same time as the film is released in cinemas on March 8.

The filmmakers are now lobbying for the material to be made available in Danish schools. “That was something we wanted.

This film is the material we were missing when we were growing up,” Albrechtsen comments. “If you’re asking where the film came from, it comes from a very personal and deep need to understand ourselves and put words on something so big, but which wasn’t spoken about when we were growing up.” The title ‘Venus’ comes from the filmmakers’ desire to “throw up the ideal of the woman against the cultural history designed by men.”

When the two directors were growing up, they remember that sex education focused on how to avoid pregnancy and disease.

“There was no language for the pleasurable parts,” Albrechtsen said. “We’re very liberated in terms of porn. You can say anything. There is no censorship, but when it comes to talking about sexuality with emotions, it doesn’t exist. People get uncomfortable.”

This point is echoed by Glob. “We [in Denmark] are supposedly liberated, but our language about sexuality is so limited,” the co-director says. When she was in her early twenties, Glob read erotic literature by Henry Miller. “Everybody told me he was quite sexist. When I read the book, it was from the male perspective. This discrepancy was something we really wanted to investigate.”

Glob also reflected on whether differences between male and female sexuality have been exaggerated. “With men and women, I always thought there was such a big difference between male and female sexuality, but making this film and showing it to men, I have got a different perspective,” she says. “Now, I really don’t think there is so much difference between male and female sexuality.”

Venus (a world premiere in First Appearance) was shot in Albrechtsen’s apartment. The interviewees would arrive in groups of between five and eight. They’d sit in the kitchen together, discussing sexuality and desire. Then, one by one, they’d be called into the living room to be interviewed. Over one hundred applicants – primarily young, well-educated women from Copenhagen – signed up to be filmed. Sixty were filmed, with twenty to twenty-five making it into the final edit. They share very intimate stories and memories. The filmmakers gave them the opportunity to have any testimony they were uncomfortable with removed from the documentary.

Several regretted revealing the number of people they had slept with but, beyond this, demanded few changes. They realised that by speaking honestly, they would be helping other women. The filmmakers had very little information in advance about their subjects, and didn’t know whether or not they were heterosexual.

“You could shoot this film in the UK or shoot it in Brazil and it would be different, but a lot of it would be the same,” Albrechtsen says. She also gives qualified approval to Lars Von Trier’s Nymphomaniac, a fictional film which also explores female sexuality. “I was kind of surprised that he knew a lot. Some of it I could definitely relate to. I appreciated that he actually took it very far and that he wouldn’t protect the woman so much, but that he would make her go all the way in her desire.”

O

n a wet afternoon in Amsterdam, documentary maker Coco Schrijber is in good humour. Earlier in the week, she gave an IDFA masterclass – and was gratified to hear some of the audience afterwards singing in the toilet, “We all love Coco!”

Her latest feature, How to Meet a Mermaid has also been given an enthusiastic response.

The new film is hard to classify.

It’s a meditation on the mystery and power of the sea; a reflection on the sad circumstances in which her brother died; a story about a Mexican surfer fighting for his family, and it even has some elements of a detective mystery. (The director investigates the disappearance of a young woman on a Disney-run ocean liner.)

Running through How to Meet a Mermaid are Yoda-like snippets of voiceover from the great American novelist William Faulkner.

Schrijber found this material in the online archives of the University of Virginia, where Faulkner was a writer in residence in the late 1950s.

“There were thirty hours of him giving lectures and I listened to them all. It was just fantastic – that voice with its Southern drawl and pearls of wisdom, expressing the condition of man. I knew instantly I was going to use it.”

What is clear when you look over Schrijber’s filmography is that she tackles a huge variety of subjects.

Her early feature First Kill (2001) included interviews with Vietnam veterans who talked about how it feels to kill for the first time. The film, she says now, is really about her “own obsession with ‘could

I pull the trigger? Am I a bad guy as well? How would I behave?’” (Her conclusion is that she would almost certainly pull the trigger.) Some spectators recoiled, claiming that they wouldn’t kill in any circumstances. She didn’t believe them and suggests that “people have no clue about their own instincts.”

Also featuring prominently in the documentary was celebrated former war correspondent and scriptwriter Michael Herr (Full Metal Jacket), who was initially extremely reluctant to be interviewed, having previously said he would never talk about the Vietnam war. With her usual mix of stubbornness and charm, she won him round. “First Kill is so formally satisfying, and so profound in its truth-telling energy, and so great-looking, that its reverberations are incredible,” Herr later told her.

It was a gruelling film to make, and this is one reason she followed it up with Bloody Mondays & Strawberry Pies (2009), her cinematic meditation on the attractions of boredom. “I was so tired. I was lying on the couch for four months,” she remembers of the aftermath of First Kill. As she rested, she asked herself, why work sixty hours or more a week when she could take matters much more easily?

Schrijber shares her late brother’s love of the sea. She was born in The Hague. As a child, she regularly visited the nearby beaches. The family also went on holidays to seaside resorts in Spain and Italy. “The sea is just my friend” she says, enthusing about the feeling of weightlessness and relaxation being in the waves gives her. She wasn’t trained to swim, but was a natural at it – and is still faster in the water than most of her male friends. “When I swim now with guys in the swimming pool, I beat them”, she says.

In her films, Schrijber wants final cut “always, in any circumstance.” She won’t compromise on this. At her Masterclass, she had sharp advice for young filmmakers: don’t rely on anyone else; you have the overall view and have to make the decisions. She also told them to be decisive and learn how to say “no.” “Anyone who gives you advice gives you advice because of who they are,” she notes. It might be great advice and worth taking on board, but you have to remember it is your film.

She doesn’t shoot huge amounts of material (“never more than 23 or 24 hours tops”) and always wants her work to be cinematic: “So many documentary makers forget it’s a visual medium.” When she teaches, she tells her students, “Some words are forbidden, we don’t just follow our subjects – we film them … to me, documentary is not reality, it is my vision on reality and it has a certain shape, a certain form.”

Wider and Wider God Knows Where I Am

Dutch documentary maker Coco Schrijber talks to Geoffrey Macnab about her IDFA masterclass and new doc, feature-length contender How to Meet a Mermaid.

Leading US doc makers Todd Wider and Jedd Wider, directors of God Knows Where I Am (screening in Best of Fests) have revealed details of their new projects.

Their company Wider Film Projects has been involved in many award-winning docs, among them Mea Maxima Culpa and Taxi to the Dark Side.

The brothers, best known as producers, have recently taken the step into directing. They are now working again as directors on a new feature doc, To the Edge of the Sky, following four families who have sons with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a uniformly fatal disease that usually affects young boys. The doc’s main focus is the fight by four of the boys’ mothers to convince the Food and Drug Administration to get approval for a drug that they believe will help their sons.

The FDA dragged out the approval process for this drug over a prolonged period, sparking an acrimonious dispute. The mothers come from very varied backgrounds. Over a period of two

years, these women have become impassioned and extremely effective political campaigners.

“It asks the question, how far would you go to save your son’s life?” Todd Wider comments. The project is in post-production.

The company is also working on another new doc (as yet untitled) looking at the growing problem of homelessness in New York. “It’s about the hopes and dreams of a person who has no home,” Jedd Wider comments. “It seems like a giant problem. Our city is teeming with homeless people on almost every corner. It’s insane.

In my lifetime, it’s the worst it’s ever been.” One of the homeless subjects has a PhD. Another is a writer.

God Knows Where I Am is being released in the US by Bond/360 next spring. The film premieres at Lincoln Plaza Cinema in New York in late March. Cinephil is handling sales outside North America. The film has been to over 30 festivals in the US, picking up several prizes, including the Special Jury Prize for International Feature Documentary at Hot Docs. Geoffrey Macnab

I Wanna Be Your Doc

By Melanie Goodfellow

Lieshout approached Iggy’s manager, Henry McGroggan, and asked whether Iggy might be able to provide music for Last Words, the film following Houellebecq on the set of The Possibility of an Island. By coincidence, it turned out that the rock star was a huge admirer of Houellebecq’s work and had actually just read the novel The Possibility of an Island. When he realised that Lieshout was working with Houellebecq, Iggy immediately agreed to provide music. The filmmakers went to Miami to meet him.

In his new documentary To Stay Alive – A Method, Erik Lieshout brings together two major cultural figures of our time, both ‘bad boys’: French novelist Michel Houellebecq and rock star Iggy Pop. They’re not the only ones in the film.

Also featured are various troubled but very talented artists, often from humble backgrounds and with psychological problems. The starting point for the film (co-directed by Arno Haggers and Reinier van Brummelen) was Houellebecq’s essay on creativity and insanity, To Stay Alive.

Lieshout’s relationship with Houellebecq dates back several years, to when the ever-controversial French novelist held a press conference for his book The Possibility of an Island. Lieshout was there to film the writer for broadcaster VPRO. “I was a very big fan of his books, but a little bit afraid of him,” the director remembers. He won Houellebecq’s trust and respect by asking him a question taken from one of the few interviews ever given by Marcel Proust, to Le Temps in 1913. “Is style a quality of vision?”

Houellebecq appreciated the question and provided a nine-and-a-half-minute answer. “He liked the way we made the film, he liked the result. He said it is the best thing ever made on me … much better than the BBC’s film!”

When Houellebecq directed a screen adaptation of The Possibility of an Island, Lieshout made a documentary about the production.

This enabled him to spend time with the novelist. “I love his company. It’s quite addictive.

When you sit next to him, the whole world gets a sense of meaning. Immediately everything that happens is interpreted. It’s extremely funny – aggressively funny.” They worked hard but had riotous nights out during which Houellebecq would sing bar-room ballads.

The French novelist had been a fervent fan of Iggy Pop since his teenage years, even attempting to “make music” in the vein of Iggy’s best work – bare-chested and all. Long before he became established and famous, Houellebecq lived in a small room, empty apart from a mattress, a couple of bottles of booze and a huge poster of Iggy Pop on the wall.

“All of a sudden, he picked a guitar from the wall and said: ‘This is a song I never brought out anywhere.’ It was On The Beach, in which he talks about ‘particles of pain in my brain’ and has the wonderful line, ‘you can convince the world that you’re some kind of superstar while an asshole is what you are.’”

Iggy allowed the song to be used in the film – and later provided several others. He even sang one of them, Autumn Leaves, in French.

(This would later spur him on to release two albums in French, even though he didn’t speak the language.) When Iggy was performing in Paris at Radio France, Houellebecq was in the front row alongside Lieshout. “Iggy was really singing for Michel,” Lieshout recalls. After the gig, the writer and the rock star had their first proper meeting – and got on famously. Both were shy at first because they admired each other so much, but eventually overcame their bashfulness. Their friendship paved the way for Lieshout and his colleagues to make To Stay Alive.

Sadly, neither Iggy nor Houellebecq were able to make it to IDFA. Both are currently in Latin America, but they’re expected to attend the first screening of the film in Paris. They’ve already expressed their admiration for the documentary. Lieshout says he couldn’t find better collaborators. “There was bliss on this project. Many things could have gone wrong but they didn’t,” the director says. “They never let me down.”

Fair trade platform

A

msterdam-based Laurence Lamers is at IDFA to bang the drum for his new VOD platform SQOBE which is designed to deliver more revenue to filmmakers and enable rights owners to reach end-users more directly, he says. It is a “fair-trade transparent system” in which the rights owner can monitor sales on a minute-by-minute basis. The platform features not only geo-blocking but geo-sharing, which enables a partner distributor to also earn income from viewings. “More importantly, films that are difficult to sell, but can have an audience, will have a chance to live”, Lamers adds. The platform will be catholic in its offer of commercial, arthouse and documentary titles. “Audiences will be able to find films by subject, which is especially interesting for documentaries.”

Producers with one to ten films will pay an annual subscription, with SQOBE earning 10% from each paid viewing plus transmission costs, rights and VAT. Lamers says this guarantees a return of 50-55% of revenues for rights holders, but estimates that lower costs in the future will mean a 60-70% return.

“We want to make sure the rights-holders, the filmmakers, the distributors and sales agents make more money with their movies. That is our objective. If people are making more money they will make more movies … I want to make sure that the filmmakers and distributors at IDFA will get to know this platform. The difference between our platform and the others is that we don’t want to be a niche market. We want to get everything. If you are too niche you are excluding other audiences. There is a big audience that doesn’t even know IDFA or its films, but perhaps those films are in [that audience’s] interest.”

“The whole intention when I made [the platform] was because of the issues film producers face when they [receive] no income. For example, the film I made (Paid, 2006): even the major studios don’t pay what they are obliged to pay, so that’s why this platform came into existence. By the end of 2017, I want to create more revenue for all professional film participants in the world.”

Double double for Cinephil

Palestinians reunite at IDFA Palestinians are out in force this IDFA thanks to a joint initiative between Ramallah-based umbrella group Future Logic and Beirut-based Arab Fund for Arts and Culture (AFAC). By Melanie Goodfellow Between them, they have brought the makers of six upcoming documentaries to the festival to network and seek out co-production and sales partners. The projects comprise Lina Al-Abed’s Ibrahim; Samer Salameh’s 194. Us, Children Of The Camp; Amal Ramsis’ You Come From Far Away; Ghada Terawi’s The Forgotten; Karam Ali and Casey Asprooth-Jackson’s Chopped and Rami Farah’s A Comedian in a Syrian Tragedy. They will all be presented at the Forum’s daily Producer’s Breakfasts, sponsored by Future Logic and AFAC and running Nov 21-23 in the Compagnietheater.

“Our aim is to push the projects individually to the place that makes most sense”, says Ramallah-based producer Mohanad Yaqubi of Idioms Film, who is the main point of contact for the IDFA delegation.

AFAC has been bringing two documentary filmmakers to IDFA for the last two years as part of its strategy to support Arab documentary-making, which Mismar says is blooming at the moment.

“Documentary filming in the region is where it is really happening right now, it’s where the energy is and where Arab filmmakers are really saying what they want to say”, says AFAC deputy director Rima Mismar.

Yaqubi launched Future Logic last year – alongside fellow Ramallahbased producer Bassam Jarbawi of Rimsh Film and Raed Andoni of Les Films de Zayna in Paris – in response to the fact that the Middle East conflict has scattered Palestinian filmmakers worldwide. It aims to be an umbrella platform for all Palestinian filmmakers – whether they be based in the West Bank and Gaza, Israeli-controlled Palestinian cities such as Nazareth, refugee camps in Lebanon and Jordan or living in the US and Europe.

Ibrahim, for example, is by Beirut-based, Damascus-raised Al-Abed and revolves around her search for her Palestinian militant father who never returned from a secret mission in the late 1980s, leaving her Egyptian mother to raise five children alone. She and her producer Rami Nihawi expect to sign off on a Danish co-production deal at IDFA, under which post-production will be done in Denmark.

“We’ll start post-production in January”, says Al-Abed.

Salameh’s 194. Us, Children of the Camp follows his journey as someone who grew up in the Yarmouk refugee camp in Syria and

On Saturday night, Resurrecting Hassan (an international premiere in First Appearance) picked up the award for Best Canadian Documentary at RIDM, as well as the Student Jury Prize. Two of Cinephil’s other films also won awards. Tempestad (Best of Fests) took the top prize, the Golden Frog, at Camera Image and Death by a Thousand Cuts (Docs for Sale) won the audience award at Doc NYC.

witnessed its slide into conflict following the Syrian uprising of 2011 and the subsequent civil war. “It brings the perspective of a Palestinian filmmaker who has been displaced twice”, says Mismar.

In a project capturing the multi-faceted cultural identities of many Palestinians today, Cairo-based Ramsis’ You Come From Far Away revolves around a Palestinian woman’s relationship with Spanish siblings conceived by her father when he fought against Franco in the Spanish Civil War. IDFA regular Eyal Sivan is attached to the project as one of the producers.

Projects set within the Palestinian territories include Karam Ali and Casey Asprooth-Jackson’s Chopped, delving into the underground world of car theft in the West Bank. Swedish film-maker PeÅ Holmquist is on board as a co-producer.

A Comedian in a Syrian Tragedy – following exiled Syrian actor Fares Helou – does not have a direct Palestinian connection, but the group felt its theme of displacement resonated with the Palestinian experience. It is produced by Paris-based Lyana Saleh and Act of Killing producer Signe Byrge Sørensen of Copenhagenbased Final Cut for Real.

Yaqubi hopes IDFA will be an annual fixture on the Future Logic diary.

Artpowerment

By Melanie Goodfellow

Renzo Martens. Photo: Nichon Glerum

Controversial Dutch artist and filmmaker Renzo Martens has given an update on his ambitious project to build a contemporary Tate Modern-style white cube gallery on the land of a former Unilever Cocoa plantation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo at a talk organised jointly by IDFA’s Paradocs strand and Amsterdam cultural hub De Balie over the weekend.

In an operation that would bring old colonial value chains full-circle, Martens said his aim was to build a “quintessential white cube museum space” in collaboration with the Congolese workers’ body, the Cercle d’Art des Travailleurs de Plantation Congolaise, in the plantation town of Lusanga, some 600 km from the capital of Kinshasa.

“We don’t have a name for it yet. For now, we only have a description: the Lusanga International Research Centre for Art and Economic Inequality (LIRCAE),” he explained.

“What we’re trying to build is a place to investigate the relationship between economic art and economic equality. We’re trying to build a space that functions as a searchlight that highlights abject value chains and by doing that creates new inclusive value chains.”

His long-time goal was for the new gallery to stand alongside other global art institutions such as the Tate in the UK, the construction of which was partly funded in the 19th century by profits generated by plantations like those in Lusanga.

Martens hopes the museum will help foster a new arts-led economy and give the local population an alternative source of work and income, other than the plantation jobs which currently pay around $19 a month.

Some have dismissed Martens’ plans for a grandstanding arts institution in the middle of nowhere as an elaborate publicity stunt aimed purely at provoking debate, but the artist made it clear at the talk that he was deadly serious in his intent to make it happen.

He said that the Congolese Minister for Tourism and Culture, Elvis Mutiri Wa Bashara, had recently laid the first stone for the gallery and that a team had been set up in DRC capital Kinshasa to figure out the logistics of the ambitious project.

The museum project is part of Marten’s long-running Gentrification Platform aimed at using art to improve living conditions for plantation workers.

The project grew out of Martens’ controversial 2012 feature Enjoy Poverty capturing poverty in post-civil war DRC through a spoof campaign suggesting images of poverty were the country’s most lucrative natural resource – through which he came to realise that critiquing poverty was not enough to bring about change.

Martens will be at the Forum on Monday afternoon to pitch a digital interactive platform linked to the Gentrification Platform project in Cross-media Round Table presentations. It is part of larger feature film project first pitched at the Forum in 2012.

Norway? Yes way!

The Norwegian Film Institute’s Toril Simonsen puts the high number of Norwegian films at IDFA 2016 down to two factors: a change in outlook on the part of the country’s filmmakers, and a shift in funding emphasis at the Institute.

Nine films from Norway are in IDFA selection this year. “Producers are more ambitious than they were a couple of years ago. They have realised that we live in a globalised world and they tell stories that are not particularly Norwegian – stories that are universal,” she comments. “The other thing is that the Film Institute has increased financing for those films that demonstrate an extraordinary international potential.”

Norwegian films at IDFA include the competition titles Mogadishu Soldier and Nowhere to Hide. “In Mogadishu Story it is very interesting to see this kind of raw, straightforward description of the war situation in Somalia that gives a very interesting perspective on the whole operation. Nowhere to Hide is heartbreaking in showing the effects of war on civilians.

It shows the courage of the people, the desperation of the people. Both films appeal to the human rights ideal, but in very different ways.” First Appearance Competition doc Sealers – One More Hunt also world-premieres in Amsterdam. “It is not romanticizing the seal hunt; rather it is a story about

the hunters and their friendship and their journey across the Arctic ice.”

Simonsen further points out that the Institute’s doc budget of NOK 41.6 million (+/- 4.5 million Euros) is now divided among fewer films. “In the main these films get funding over several years, because for some of them it is very important that they have a long development period.

As you can imagine, when you are filming in Iraq [Nowhere to Hide] you have to go back and forth several times and you have to have somebody there who can go into the no-go zones and come back out with material.” Simonsen also underlines the investment coming out of the seven Norwegian regional funds. The Northern Norway Film Centre, for example, was heavily involved in Nowhere to Hide and

.

Sealers, as well as Ambulance (Best of Fests).

Audiences numbers for documentary in Norway remain encouraging, with films selling on average 10,000-15,000 tickets, Simonsen claims. “Then there are a few that are doing 30,000-40,000 tickets – typically a film that has a very Norwegian theme, that might portray special Norwegian people, or they may be about Norwegian traditions or ways of life that are disappearing in areas of the country that are not accessible”, she adds.

The documentary Doing Good (Margreth Olin), about an elderly Norwegian healer, did exceptionally well in 2016, selling more than 160,000 tickets, “which is better than most feature fiction films. The director is well known, and one of the most successful documentary filmmakers in Norway when it comes to audience figures. So it is a combination of this new-age theme and the fact that she is extremely well-known in Norway. She is a very good director with a dedicated audience.” By Nick Cunningham

IDFA’s new media strand sounds alarm over preservation of interactive works.

By Melanie Goodfellow IDFA’s new media strand DocLab has unveiled a canon of seminal interactive documentary projects that should be preserved for posterity, to mark the 10th anniversary of its launch in 2007.

“We invited some 50 people who have defined interactive documentary over the last decade to share their favourite projects of the last 10 years,” explains Caspar Sonnen, IDFA’s head of new media and DocLab. “From those responses, we assembled the interactive documentary canon: a list of what the community of artists and decision-makers involved in interactive documentaries consider to be timeless masterpieces, or at least projects we should be able to see right now.”

The resulting canon – which was unveiled at the DocLab Interactive Conference on Sunday – features works which are very different in their use of technology and scope, but have one thing in common in that they all pushed the boundaries of using technology to document reality. Many of the digital story-telling devices they pioneered are now part of the mainstream media.

These include Gaza/Sderot, a 2008 split-screen web doc featuring video blogs from both sides of the Middle East conflict; Barcode.tv, which used barcode technology to explore the subliminal significance of personal possessions; the award-winning Bear 71, following the life of a Canadian grizzly bear implanted with a GPS tracker, and The Machine To Be Another, an early virtual reality installation in which the participants experienced being in someone else’s body.

Aside from celebrating DocLab’s 10th anniversary, Sonnen said another intention behind the creation of the canon was to highlight the issues around preserving these pioneering works for future generations. Some of the projects risk disappearing as the software and technology used to build them becomes obsolete or develops in such a way that is not compatible with their original format.

One of the biggest developments threatening the visibility of early interactive documentaries is the phasing out of multi-media player Adobe Flash. “It’s like the early days of cinema. Flash is one of the pieces of technology on which a lot of interactive pieces were built in the last few years, but it’s breaking down. These works are sort of in the same position as the early nitrate films... the code is burning in on itself.”

He cited the example of Bear 71, which won the IDFA DocLab Award for Digital Storytelling in 2012, as a work under threat. “It’s dying. If you open your laptop right now and go to the URL, you’ll get security warnings and will have to install all sorts of stuff to allow Flash to run,” says Sonnen. “The question around this project is how we can preserve it. There’s a lot of research into emulators that will keep the original code running, but that’s not necessary the best solution either.”

In the case of Bear 71, one approach has been to re-configure the base material and give it new life as a VR work. The result is Bear 71 VR which is world premiering in the exhibition component of DocLab at the Brakke Grond this year.

Sonnen wants more to be done. “We hope the canon will be a point of departure for discussions around preservation, which is also an element of DocLab’s upcoming four-year plan, running from 2017. We’ve got to the point where we’re not only looking forwards, but backwards too.”

What We Have Made

photo: Nadine Maas

French filmmaker and photographer Fanny Tondre has managed to find beauty, poetry and philosophy amid the wet cement, noise and chaos of one of Europe’s biggest construction sites in this deeply human portrait of the men working there.

Shot in clean black-and-white – with an aesthetic sometimes reminiscent of the 1930s Manhattan-set photo Lunch Atop A Skyscraper capturing steelworkers – Tondre’s portrait reveals the construction site as a place of dedication, bonhomie as well as body breaking hard graft.

“I saw it as a sort of human theatre,” says Tondre, who also did the cinematography on the film. Tondre had wanted to make a documentary about the world of work for some time when by happy coincidence producer Matthieu Belghiti of Parisbased What’s Up Films met Luc Weizmann, a French architect specialising in large-scale construction projects. “He talked to him about the project he was working on suggesting it would make a good subject for a film and Mathieu suggested me as director” says Tondre, who made her first film Mr and Mrs Zhang with What’s Up Films.

Weizmann helped connect them with some of the top construction firms in France who were receptive to Tondre’s vision for the documentary. “I was dead-set against doing a corporate film aimed at promoting such-and-such construction firm. What I wanted to make was a

human film in total liberty, both in terms of access and what I was trying to create,” she says. She ended up spending the best part of two years researching and shooting the work, for eighteen months heading there three times a week as dawn broke.

The film focuses on four key characters: site manager Greg, the son of a mason who followed his father into the construction business; apprentice Joao; long-time construction worker Felipe and Olivier Tardiveau, a tough-talking site foreman with a strangely poetic turn of phrase who describes himself as piece of “bare masonry.”

“It was an instinctive thing,” she says of her choice of characters. “There are some thousand people on the site, but at a certain moment, I understood who would work. I think it also had to do with a feeling that they were on board the project and what I was trying to do too,” says Tondre.

She admits she was initially apprehensive about going to shoot in such a masculine environment. “It’s a world around which there are lots of clichés – that it’s misogynist, racist...

I set off with a lot of false expectations. I thought it was going to be really complicated to spend time on the site and that I might be the butt of a lot of jokes, et cetera. But I think because they saw how seriously I was taking the project, they took me seriously too.”

Tondre says she made it a point of honour to keep the same hours as the workers. “The working day kicks off at six o’clock in the morning, with the foremen getting in around four thirty. I would leave home at three in the morning to be sure to be the first on site. I felt for them to respect me, I had to prove I was capable of putting my boots on at the same time as them.” Melanie Goodfellow IDFA Competition for Feature-Length Documentary

Silent Wilderness

I

n 2001, Tim Cabie disappeared without trace. The Korean-born adopted son of Flemish couple Yvonne and Aimé Cabie was last seen in Hungary while trekking through a forest near Eger. His absence was first noted when he failed to contact his mother on her birthday, and the couple’s fears were heightened when they received no word at Christmas, nor at New Year. After fifteen years, most people believe him to be dead, including the office of the Federal Prosecutor. But inscribed on Yvonne and Aimé’s bathroom wall are the words ‘If only you were here’, and in a bedroom resides a box of origami cranes. The crane confers a lifespan of 1,000 years, we are told. The house seems to await his return.

Producer Peter Krüger explains how director Matthijs Vleugels was both moved and fascinated by the couple’s dilemma and asked if he could follow and chronicle their journey towards some form of closure. In the resulting film, he follows them in their home, to meetings with officials and over to Hungary where they retrace Tim’s last known steps. Eventually closure is achieved, but the journey there is a circuitous one.

Tim’s life is presented in home movie footage and through readings from his highly expressive and articulate diaries.

He dropped out of medical school to study psychology, and his entries suggest he was very open to self-reflection. “A desire grew within me to return to the primordial roots of our existence,” he writes, and vows “to travel back within myself to a place of pure innocence.” But there are later portents of

potential suicide as he savours the reaction to his death by those who have done him harm in the past. He concedes however that he could never put those he loves through such an ordeal.

“I think you have two lines in the film: one that is looking for a physical body, which is the work of the police, and on the other hand the film wants to say something about the spiritual body of the guy – why did he leave, what was his mental state of mind?” asks Krüger.

Much of the film’s focus is on father Aimé, a complex man determined to leave no stone unturned in solving the riddle. He is also a man assailed by doubt and a lack of trust in the institutions charged with the investigation. “What is terrible for the couple is that it is impossible to close this even when you want to close it – even the family and the children say ‘enough, it has now been so many years, we have to stop talking about Tim.’” An additional and very pleasing element within the film is a series of rich pencil drawings used to illustrate Tim’s diaries and his state of mind. These work like a palimpsest as they build, layer upon graphic layer. “We thought it interesting and evocative to illustrate the film with these drawings. They come from the fact that at one moment we see a police guy making a drawing of the face of Tim. This creates the basis for the style, drawn with a pencil, no colours, pure and simple.”

Who We Were Danish Sine Skibsholt’s First Appearance doc Who We Were chronicles the accelerated disintegration of a marriage – but not one set in motion by infidelity, financial worries or any of the standard reasons. At the age of thirty-nine, successful advertising producer Kristian Boserup, father of two and husband of Mette Line, suffered a massive stroke which destroyed a third of his brain capacity. He was in a coma for ten days, suffered paralysis on one side of his body and all sense of cognitive awareness and reasoning were severely affected.

We join the story four months after Kristian’s stroke, having heard a recording of Mette Line’s initial call to the emergency services. At the beginning she is very supportive of her husband.

When he visits home for the first time from hospital, their reunion is moving and their inevitable parting a few hours later heart-breaking. She is firm and takes a clear, no-nonsense approach to his rehabilitation. One feels that he welcomes, at least initially, this form of tough love.

But before the catastrophic change in his circumstances, he was active and fun and youthful (at least as presented in home videos). Now he has limited mobility, is ageing before our eyes and (quite understandably) is suffering from acute depression. He admits to feeling suicidal.

The exhausting process of co-managing his rehabilitation eventually takes its toll on Mette’s strength and forbearance, and her love and affection for him begin to diminish.

“I had an interest in making a film about a couple from the middle classes, in a good time of their lives with things going at a fast pace, happy

children, and then, bang! One of them is struck down with brain damage, which at such a young age would be from a stroke or a car accident, or falling from a roof,” explains Skibsholt. “So from that narrow spectrum of people in Denmark who are unfortunate to suffer this, I wanted to present a very condensed narrative of human experience. How much do you expect love to bear, how strong do you expect love to be, in sickness and in health, for richer for poorer? These are the vows we take, but how realistic are they?”

Mette contacted Skibsholt after the director put out feelers via the neurology department where she was conducting research. It was obvious from the start that the couple and their dilemma would make a perfect subject for the documentary, and Skibsholt started filming immediately.

“I was a like a third party in their life. The second time I filmed was when Kristian came back from hospital the first time, and the moment when Mette breaks down when he has to go back. I was crying as I was filming it”, she says.

The film doesn’t make for easy viewing as Skibsholt records the declining marriage. “There is a tendency to hate the one who might leave somebody when they are sick. As humans, we have a need to choose sides – ‘he was the asshole, she was overbearing’ – and I am wondering why we are so black-and-white when we view relationships. So I wanted to explore this, to look into this prejudice and tendency towards making a judgement. I felt so bad for them and of course there was no-one to blame for their situation. There is no right or wrong.”

Gogita’s New Life

Arriving in Amsterdam a couple of days earlier than planned to attend Docs for Sale, director Levan Koguashvili talks about how he chanced upon his protagonist while researching in a Georgian prison, and how making a feature-length documentary has “grounded” him after two award-winning fiction films.

L

“Around 2012, I wanted to shoot something about the situation in the jails in Georgia”, the filmmaker says. “We knew there was really bad stuff happening. I was looking for material for a fiction film. The only way to get permission to film inside was through the churches in the jails, and Gogita was one of the guys coming to the church in the jail.”

God Knows Where I Am

inda Bishop, the subject of God Knows Where I Am (a European premiere in IDFA’s Best of Fests) was a woman whose life fell apart. Middle-class, a college graduate, a mother, she came from what seemed an eminently stable background – but she was bipolar. As her paranoia grew and her behaviour deteriorated, she lost contact with friends and loved ones and endured spells of homelessness. In the final year of her life, she had been discharged from hospital and sought refuge in an empty farmhouse in New Hampshire.

She had nothing. It was the dead of winter, bitterly cold. For several weeks, she lived off a diet of apples and water, recording her thoughts in a notebook and reading books she found in the shelves. Slowly, she starved to death.

In the documentary, directed by Todd Wider and Jedd Wider, Linda is voiced by actress/musician Lori Singer (in the early 80s, the star of Footloose and TV’s Fame). The film, a European premiere here in Amsterdam, has already won multiple awards at American festivals. Cinephil handles world sales.

“I approached it any way I would any serious role I have taken on,” Singer says. “This was a true person. I felt that to bring integrity and to breathe her spirit and soul, I must study her journals very meticulously.”

Singer researched the role for eight or nine months. She met Bishop’s family members. She spent time on her own in the house where Bishop died. She even stopped eating and cut down on sleep for several days before she was due to record the voiceover. As she realised from her research when she was alone in

the farmhouse, Bishop wasn’t simply giving in to despair.

She had felt that surviving would be proof of her sanity.

“Here’s a woman who died alone in a farmhouse in New Hampshire, abandoned, and yet somehow she managed, without too much fanfare, to reach out and have her story told,” Singer notes of Bishop and the afterlife she has been granted.

Bishop’s story was first told in an article in The New Yorker by Rachel Aviv. However, the Widers’ initial inspiration came from an encounter with a homeless man outside their building in New York. The filmmakers realised there were many people like him, or like Linda Bishop, who had become invisible to the society around them.

“It was very emotional,” Singer says of collaborating with the Widers on the project. “I think she had a great spirit, especially in the beginning. She was the life of the party as you hear from her early stories. Even when she was homeless, she was the one trying to help other people. She was the one reaching out.”

There is huge irony and pathos in Bishop’s story. She took the disastrous decision to come off her medication precisely because she had been looking after her elderly father and was terrified she might sleep too heavily to hear if he was in trouble. She was a generous person who loved family and yet ended up far away from her friends and relatives. Nobody wanted to do her harm but, by the same token, there was nobody there to help her when she needed it most. Geoffrey Macnab Best of Fests

Gringo: The Dangerous Life of John McAfee

N

“

anette should be jailed” was one of the tweets from antivirus software tycoon John McAfee in the run up to the Showtime premiere of Nanette Burstein’s Gringo: The Dangerous Life of John McAfee in the US in September. It wasn’t hard to work out why McAfee was so perturbed.

The film (an international premiere in IDFA’s Masters section) makes a strong case that its subject is a murderer and rapist.

“He non-stop tweeted about me and the film; said it was complete lies and that we manipulated people. He was emailing me and the President of Showtime every day for a week, saying that I held people at gunpoint, that I paid them, that I did all this horrible stuff to get them to lie on camera, that he was going to sue and then…” Burstein pauses, “he stopped. Because he didn’t get arrested, I guess. I don’t know. He just went back into the rock that he crawled out of. He just denied everything.”

Koguashvili wasn’t planning on making a documentary, but political developments forced his hand. “Then the government changed in Georgia – partly because of the situation with the jails, in fact. This was one of the reasons the government lost the elections. They showed such terrible footage on the news, I felt it was impossible to shoot something more dramatic than that reality.”

McAfee moved to Belize in 2008, aged 63, to enjoy a balmy retirement. In fact, as Burstein’s documentary reveals, he became increasingly paranoid, surrounding himself with gun-toting bodyguards and behaving like a modern-day Colonel Kurtz in Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. Matters came to a head when his fearsome pet dogs were poisoned. A short while later, Greg Faul – the neighbour thought to be responsible for the dogs’ deaths – was killed. The local cops wanted to speak to McAfee about the incident, but he scarpered.

In an escapade which became international news, McAfee went on the run, fleeing to Guatemala by crossing the border illegally.

Many plot twists later, he ended up back home in the US – actually running for President this year on the Libertarian ticket.

Burstein has spoken to the FBI since finishing the documentary. The agency has confirmed that it has been approached by the police in Belize, asking for help with the

case. Eddie McKoy, the local low-life alleged to have been paid by McAfee to murder Faul, has now been arrested.

But to the consternation of the director, and of Harvard-educated scientist Allison Adonizio (McAfee’s former business partner who gives grim testimony on camera about being sexually assaulted by the tycoon), McAfee is seemingly as popular as ever. He now has a new cyber security company. “He still has a lot of power in the United States,” Burstein says. “As of now, he’s making a lot of money, he has a big following, he is still in the news every day.”

The documentary doesn’t appear to have damaged its subject at all – at least not yet.

“It’s the same way how does Trump get elected after fourteen women accuse him of sexual assault and he is on tape basically bragging about it. How does that happen?”

Burstein isn’t interested in taking up McAfee on his offer of a meeting. “Not now, not after everything. I thought about it,” the director reflects. “Of course, I am incredibly curious to meet with him. I’ve never had this experience when I haven’t had a close relationship with the person [who is the subject of the film] but I’ve come to realise nothing good would come of it. I believe he’s a sociopath who is constantly trying to manipulate … I don’t think he has fond feelings for me. He saw this whole thing as a cat and mouse game and he still wants to win.” Geoffrey Macnab Masters

“So I went off and made [feature film] Blind Dates. But I felt I had to finish this project I had started – even if the jail situation was no longer the subject. Then I remembered Gogita. I turned up and filmed his release, and his first day at home. I thought it had an interesting energy, but I still didn’t know what to do with it. So I went away again to write my next feature script. When I went to see Gogita again, he told me, ‘Hey, I met this girl on the internet. It might be serious.’”

“He showed me photos of Maka. ‘She is nice,’ he said, ‘but a bit overweight.’ I asked if he had shown the photos to his mother – he said, ‘Not yet.’ So I said, ‘Let’s go do that.’ I set up the camera and he started showing the photos to his mother, and right away I knew I had this strange documentary movie. A tragi-comedy about the post-jail struggle and the search for love and happiness.”

“I filmed the first actual meeting between Gogita and Maka.

It’s both a love story and a jail movie; it shows the struggle to find your place after so many lost years, and then there’s also the issue of does it matter she’s overweight or not? It took on a different dimension.”

“I became part of their relationship”, the director recalls of his closeness to the film’s protagonists. “Gogita’s mother would often call me, asking me questions about Maka. I became part of their life. Gogita’s mother still thinks that if it wasn’t for me and my film, they would not have got married!”

Reflecting on the differences between making fiction and documentary films, Koguashvili says: “I like the improvisational way of working on documentaries. You just arrive and try to capture something interesting. You make decisions very quickly about where to put the camera, how to capture the action in a cinematic way. Of course, it has its drawbacks too – sometimes you don’t know when it’s going to finish, you can’t plan how long to shoot. It can drive you crazy. But it was great to make this documentary now because, despite the fact I love fiction and am maybe more of a fiction filmmaker, documentary has a truth, an energy that in some ways is unbeatable. It’s important from time to time to get back to some kind of reality. It grounds you.”
