Q&A Session with Marcel Zyskind, DFF, about Tea Lindeburg’s film “As In Heaven”
Les entretiens de Camerimage
Presented in the “Contemporary World Cinema” selection, As In Heaven is the first feature film by Danish director Tea Lindeburg. She worked on this film alongside cinematographer Marcel Zyskind, DFF. This film—starring mainly children, shot in film, low-budget, and dealing with a taboo topic—was, despite all these challenges, a total success, revealing the Marcel Zyskind’s admirable gaze, at once modest and grandiose, in a grainy and sun-filled 35mm. The film navigates between dream and reality, confining itself strictly to a child’s view on events whose scope is beyond her ken and that will nonetheless deeply change her life. The cinematographer, a regular at the festival, and the director were in attendance on Monday to answer the audience’s questions after the film’s first screening. (MC)
