Director Brigitte Sy after presenting the competition film "Hands-free", which left the audience with a lot of questions after watching it, gave a press conference to participants of the VOICES Festival in Vologda.
-The story told by you in the movie – is the story personal? Was the movie the means by which you wish to overcome the pain?
- No, it was the task of making a film. In my film there is no therapeutic option.
-The film is set in a prison. How did the idea of making the film in a prison come to you?
- I've been working with inmates for a long time. We set the play, and for one of the rehearsals, I brought a camera. Plays were written for prisoner performances and writers together. And all of this work made me think of making the movie.
- Your character shoots a film, but it’s not clear what kind of movie it is: art, documentary, feature film by the non-professional actors?
- It's hard to answer this question, because the result of her work is not presented in the film. But most likely it would be a documentary.
- What is the fate of your film in France and the world?
- We presented it at the Berlin Film Festival. In France, it was seen by about 20 thousand people.
- The whole your family is working in cinematography: husband, Philippe Garel, is the director, son, Louis Garrel, is an actor. What it's like to live in such cinematic family? And how do they relate to your film?
- All my knowledge of the movie goes through Philip. But I never tried to repeat something that is impossible. But on the other hand, I did not try to get rid of it. And the fact that I always turn to acting environment is very helpful and helped with the film.
