Official interview with Jean Franco Rosse, the movie "Border Night Song"

Jean Franco Rosse's latest work, "Border Night Song", has arrived.This work, which will be released nationwide in Bunkamura Le Cinema, Human Trust Cinema Yurakucho, etc. from February 11th, will be "Roman Land Line, Megurikuru Life" and "The Sea is burning ~ The smallest island in the southernmost end of Italy-A documentary taken by Jean Franco Rosse at the border of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Kurdistan over three years.Q: The sea is burning -The small island of Italy, the small island of Italy, "Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Kurdistan.Jean Franco Rosse: I spent two years on Lampedusa and filmed a movie, but people came to Europe like waves to escape the tragedy of their country.I met a lot of people who have been fortunate and fortunate to Europe, despite the fact that they do not know what will happen in the future.After that, it was a natural step for me to go to the place where the tragedy actually happened.At that time, I heard that ISIS was collapsing, and it was a time when I could see a little hope.So I started my trip and stayed in the Mid -East border area for three years.This movie is the result of the three years of stay.By meeting people who were actually influenced by ISIS etc. in places where various borders were in each other, I was able to see what tragedy happened.Q: Have you ever noticed what you've seen and see the border area?Jean Franco Rosse: First of all, I wanted to find something absolute.So I went around the Mid -East for several months without a camera and searched for the identity in this area.By the end of the journey, I wanted to put the people I met and the area in the movie.The journey made a psychological map removed from the border.The people were individuals, but I wanted to be anonymous and see the history and tragedy that came from this area.I made a margin that makes the border invisible.An artificially created border is a place where history is accumulated and life and death are divided.So I met the people who appeared in the movie.The border is modern paradox.Originally, I wanted to start this movie in the dark.In the dark, I don't know if it's a tree or a snake.The darkness is a metaphor that is invisible.I thought that this movie had to include something invisible.Q: Why did you choose a documentary method?Jean Franco Rosse: I think there is no difference between documentary and fiction.Isn't this a difference in the adaptive ability for each moment?The reality that develops in front of you is transformed in the frame.The important thing for the movie is the "viewpoint".Observation alone is not enough.It is important what to talk about.In this era, information is overflowing.So I want to make the information I speak intimate and those that have integrated life.Therefore, I spend a long time on site.Meet people in a meaningful place.It must be a representative place.That is the task.Since the first work "Boatman", I have been focusing on it all the time.In film films, I value three points, "transformation," "extraction," and "construction."When creating a frame, you have to have a story in the frame.My job is to meet someone who wants to talk about this person.Everything happens accidentally.Haiku is short, but it is sharp and very unique as Matsuo Basho.But observation alone is not enough.Metaphors and conversions of the image are required.I want to decide on a frame and observe and digest it.I don't want to make aesthetic video, but I want to make my image permanent.Pazorini's words are "glitter of the truth".Losing is important, you have to include what you lose in the frame.When "The Sea is burning -Italy's smallest small island-" won the Berlin International Film Festival, director Bertric said he loved the film."Because there is a story that is not out, the perfect frame includes the front and back, and the thing behind the scene must be stored in the frame."Q: What are you doing while traveling without a camera?Jean Franco Rosse: In the history of the border, we tried to meet people's stories and people.I met a man on a motorcycle in Bassla, where 3 million people died in the Iran Iraq War.When he passed him on his bike, he looked like a bird, with his face and a bike look like a bird.He was a hunter hunting at night in the swamp.At night, the flame of the oil field rises, so if you hunt with that light.So I told him, "I'll return again, so let me shoot."After about six or eight months, he returned to him, he was very surprised and hugged him like a long -standing friend, saying, "I really want to convey my story."Then he opened her heart for me, so I followed me anywhere.He was in him for about a month or two.In a very dangerous area, I was almost kidnapped twice.When he went hunting, there were no birds, and we took an eternal "waiting".And he became a metaphor.He was a person waiting for the enemy and seemed to be a survivor living in a different dimension that survived on Mars, moon and sun.The background always makes the sound of war.The rifle sound of this scene is a real sound.It was a powerful scene.There were about 6-7 people who met on a trip without a camera.I returned to the land I met many times.Occasionally, the story of the person will last three years.When I was shooting a town called Shinjar, a young man told me, "It's the first tourist who watched the war with IS."It seems that his wife was kidnapped by his family.My wife showed me a mobile phone recorded with a message calling for help, so I shot all the messages.On the spot, I didn't know what I was saying, but I found out that I was looking for help from the voice.I went to the land many times, but I never took him, and I didn't want him to be taken.About three years after I met, when I went there again, he was remarried and had a child, and he had already forgotten his mobile phone.So I received the phone call.I heard that the main mother of the message left on the mobile phone was released from IS and lived in Germany, so I went to see her mother.I was abused in front of my daughter and my daughter was fucked in front of my mother ... I couldn't shoot very much.So, when I listened to the story and tried to go home, my mother told me, "I'm not shooting!"When I told me that I had a mobile phone with my daughter's voice, I wanted to hear my daughter's voice.The German apartment was very western, but there was a blanket in Bagdad in the room, so I got it wrapped and asked me to hear a message.About three years after listening to the first story, it was finally shaped.Q: The hunter's scene was Bassa, but it is not specified in the movie.It can be seen in any place.What is that intention?Jean Franco Rosse: Borders divide people and divide life and death.I wanted to try to make one world without a border in a movie.The border is made by the British and France's original head of the Africa and the Middle East.I thought the pain and sadness born of the border were all universal.The pain of the mother who has lost the child is common in every country.All countries where the war is happening has the same pain.I thought the border was a symbol of division.And it also gave me the opportunity and place of encounter.It is very paradoxical.I drew that paradox.It doesn't make sense for the viewer to deal with something too large.It was difficult to touch the pain and the emotions of the person in a mental place and not to think about the border symbolically, but it was a task.Therefore, this movie begins with the soldier's scene.I got permission to shoot for the morning training scene, and I was at 5:00 in the morning.There was a very wonderful light there.The soldiers were running in that place.I thought the sound "Haha!" Is like a scream of war.If you think you are far away, you will approach again.This is the metaphor in the situation where the Middle East is located.After that, I talked about my mother who lost my son.This is a universal sad story in the world.Dogs come out in the boy ants and catch birds and fish.He has been silent all the time.His silence is a metaphor that represents pain.Silence tells the invisible world.Q: What do you think is the reason for a dispute?How do you get rid of the conflict?Jean Franco Rosse: Pope will be able to give a better answer to the question.It is an ethical problem, including the history of mankind.When I talked about this movie, I didn't want to show the war scene.In fact, there were bombings.There is a life a few kilometers ahead of violence.In "Border Night Song", the war was described as "Kodama".The shock wave is long and echoes to a distant everyday life.I wanted to get closer to the daily pain.A tragedy of fate that cannot be seen in the future.A betrayal of history that we are responsible for.So, the movie ended with the close -up of 14 -year -old boy Ali.His expression appears to think that his future is gone.◎ Movie Information "Border Night Song" February 11, 2022 (Friday / Holiday), Bunkamura Le Cinema, Human Trust Cinema Yurakucho, etc. nationwide Road Show Director / Sound: Jean Franco / Losity Distribution: BitsEnd screening time: 104 minutes (C) 21 UNO FILM / STEMAL ENTERTAINMENT / LES FILMS D'ICI / Arte France Cinema / Notturno Note Nation Films GмH / MIZZI STOCK ENTERTAINMENT GвR
