Poked. Yet heads are didnt shy away from interviewing condemned prisoners awaiting execution for as many series on death row. As a german coming from a different historical background and being a guest in the United States i respectfully disagree with the practice of Capital Punishment and help me move forward ive watched several episodes of your series on death row what boundaries were you confronted with there. When c. When you talk with and film people on death row with people who know that theyre going to be executed in 8 days and that theres no escaping that. Then of course there are certain boundaries their. Respect respect dignity. Due to respect the condemned persons human dignity. James barnes is one of them. In order to film a death row inmate you have to be invited by him in writing. I was behind the camera you only ever hear my voice and behind the camera i wore a formal suit in time which i almost never do with it was a sign i respect you respect. They were always very open with you. From the very 1st moment. And thats a question of how you work as a director. You can only do that if you know the heart of men. If you can look deep into their souls then it works. Looking at your films the boundaries between documentary and feature film are really fluid. Do you still differentiate between them. Sure theres a big difference which i also recognize. Me but i dont worry about it for me theyre all films. For you once said facts do not constitute truth per se. In this age of the internet and fake news whats the truth beyond the facts that you seek. If you have the facts can be misleading the truth is created or certain layers deeper layers are created through stylization through invention through imagination. The supposedly realistic picture often seen in documentaries is a misconception. Which is why i say i invent things too because they serve the truth better than the found. A sting fuck. Back in south america again in the impenetrable tropical rain forest of guyana against the spectacular backdrop of chi to a falls a mythical location for the indigenous population.

To the seen on the type nearly all there were one and a half 1000000 swifts which came out of the sky in a huge swarm and flew in circular movements into their nests behind a huge waterfall. Goodness and it was overwhelming. And the music is equally overwhelming. Like. This one sorry these who 1st raised who are the singers were sardinians who almost all have prehistoric voices. And they started singing with far too much energy and the meter was far too clear. And i stood up and made flying movements for them. And they understood. And suddenly the movement became that of an eagle gliding from 2. Enhance oggs films music itself is often a performer such as in the show vacate where else dreiser goes music brings the prehistoric paintings to life. In 2019 the vendor had sought Foundation Awarded the prize to reisa he was praised for creating spaces with his music that were larger than what could be seen on the screen. That is so im sick youre going to miss your new and. Hes an extraordinary visionary. 2 in the loggy event of hes able to transform an entire world with music and to transform a world of images and suddenly the combination of music and images gives rise to something new and different that the audience can perceive and experience in a different way. Than to have talks relationship with music is a story of its own. He has also staged many operas going back to wagner again and again his 1st time was knowing playing at the by a white festival in 1987. 50 of a film chorley many of your colleagues vendors last frontier were also supposed to direct and buy rights but they shied away from doing it whats so difficult about staging wagner is that he can help operates according to different rules. From directors cant expect to use the same criteria and the same working methods as they do in the cinema that was always clear so i told the singers and the others that we had to forget that i work in film. I said that we had a task and that there would only be an opera when the whole world transformed into music and you can see belt in music from uncle.
