These questions were at the heart of the first “Just Talking”, which took place on Sunday, March 15, as part of the sidebar events of the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival - Images of the 21st Centu...

Peter Wintonick interviewenvoyé par cecilerittweger...
Last night I went to see a documentary of a belgian compatriot, Fabio Wuytack. Persona non grata tells the story of his father, a priest who lead revolutionary actions in Venezuela. The film really had a lot of success. Beautiful images, well thought script, intelligent editing... All the ingredients for an award, in my opinion...
After I interviewed Fabio, he offered me to have a drink in a bar on the seafront... We talked a lot and ended up ordering some food... It wasn't cheap but ...

Last night was a great night:
I saw the film "Antoine", from Laura Bari, Canada. A very poetic movie immersing us in the fantasy of a blind child who plays to the detective.... When images are missing, other senses become a powerful means of developing awareness and imagination.... This is the first film of Laura, who is actually a teacher specialised in children with handicaps....

Waouh!
What a satisfaction to get up in the morning and walk along a sunny seafront! Blue sky, wind, smily people, what more do you want?
Well, actually, what I would like, it's to have slept a bit longer.... I arrived to my hotel last night at 3am, at the end of an exhausting week in Paris, and didn't fall asleep before 4am... And got up at 9am, because I didn't want to miss anything crucial, like a terrible documentary or a gargantuan breakfast!!!
