PODCAST | Federica Scarpa interviews Jub Clerc, director of the film Sweet as.

In the Generation KPlus section of the 73. Berlinale Film Festival there’s a film with a big heart set in the breathtaking landscapes of Australia. We talked with the director of Sweet As, Jub Clerc, about her memories of a journey she took as a girl, similar to that of the protagonist, of the importance of delicately recounting the realities of disadvantaged children, and of the challenges she faced in making her first film.

Sweet as: Everyone and everything is a story, but what about finding the right words? This is something that fifteen-year-old Murra discovers while travelling on a photo-excursion for disadvantaged youth through the ancient natural landscapes of her Aboriginal homeland. In the course of one eventful week of wild camping and wandering through historic Indigenous sites, Murra reconnects with her ancestral roots, makes friends for life, experiences the disappointments of heartbreak but discovers also her love for photography. As the camera and the images she creates calibrate her with a fresh point of view to the world, Murra sees new possibilities for her future. Sweet As celebrates resilience, growth, hope and love and the importance of finding one’s very own voice in the process.
