Anders Riis-Hansen – Filmmaker – The Circus Dynasty
FRED’s Matt Micucci meets Anders Riis-Hansen, whose film “The Circus Dynasty” was presented at IDFA 2014. He talks to us about his personal fascination with circus with its behind the scenes life and colourful nature, but also how he convinced his subjects to make the documentary and why the way in which he filmed him kind of makes him sound like a man on a ‘mid-life crisis’.
“The Circus Dynasty” is a film about Patrick Berdino and Merrylu Casselly, scions of famous circus families, who fall in love with each other. It sounds like a fairy tale…and it’s filmed like one too.
