Manaki Brothers Festival 2024, 45th edition

Interview with Claire Pijman, NSC, about ‘The Gate’, by Michael David Beamish and Jasmin Herold

"Warriors of the wasteland", by François Reumont, for the l’AFC

Contre-Champ AFC n°359

[ English ] [ français ]

In The Gate, a documentary on the psychological and human toll of war on veterans and soldiers’ families, directors Michael David Beamish and Jasmin Herold paint a particularly bleak portrait of America. Blending a style that at times resembles fiction with classic documentary elements - such as voiceovers and everyday life - The Gate is shot and edited by Dutch cinematographer and director Claire Pijman, NSC. While in Bitola, she discussed this unconventional project, which was filmed in two sessions separated by the pandemic. (FR)
