Maria Tarantino – Filmmaker – Our City
FRED’s Matt Micucci interviews filmmaker Maria Tarantino on her documentary “Our City”, which was presented at IDFA 2014. She talks about how she wanted this film to feel like a love letter to her city of Brussels, how she came to know and collaborate with all the colourful people that make up this riveting collage, and how she made sure that the post production process would set the rhythm of the pace to enhance the emotional experience for a viewer.
Our City” is a kaleidoscopic portrait of Brussels, the capital of Europe: a city full of contrasts where many cultures coexist with one another.
