THE NEIGHBORHOOD FILMMAKER

This is a simple tale, the story of a man who makes films, the story of a man who seeks to talk about his background, his family and his friends. It’s the story of a man who believes that History necessarily leaves its mark on the story of each and every one of us.

And I knew that by asking him the questions that I ask myself, he would talk to me about his work. Even though we have rarely met, our paths were parallel and our interrogations mutual.
I just had to get him to talk. But that’s the easy part
