Winds of Asia Middle-East – Film Panorama of Asia Middle-East
The Mirror Never Lies
Director:Kamila Andini
Q: How do you feel about participating in TIFF?
Kamila Andini (Director):It was a big pleasure to come here because Japan was one of the destinations that I always wanted to go and Tokyo International Film Festival was the film festival that I really liked to be at. That is because my father is a director(*Director: Garin Nugroho) and had won the award twice in the past at TIFF. Coming here was actually like returning to the family for me. Screening my film where the whole city supported the event gave me a lot of energy. For example, watching people who were really were into the cinema gave me a strength to make more films.
Q: We made the TIFF slogan for this year as “Believe the Power of Film”. Do you have any specific episodes for feeling the power of the film?
Kamila Andini:I really like this year’s slogan of “Believe the power of film” .That is actually what I do because my movie is about the minority tribes who live in Indonesia. I use the power of film to tell the people their story. Not very many people knew about this community but with the power of films, lots of people know about them now and are concerned about their lives. I love this motto and feel that it is important for every film makers and also to Japan which suffered the disaster recently. We are the film makers and we must do something about it.
