Tim Hetherington, Diary, 2010
Tim Hetherington
19:08
From Tim Hetherington's Vimeo page: "Diary is a highly personal and experimental film that expresses the subjective experience of my work, and was made as an attempt to locate myself after ten years of reporting. It's a kaleidoscope of images that link our western reality to the seemingly distant worlds we see in the media."

Turn Me On, Goddammit: Interview with Helene Bergsholm
Liza Béar
4:26
From YouTube:
"In her very first acting role, Norwegian high schooler Helene Bergsholm stars as Alma in Jannicke Systad Jacobsen's Turn Me On, Goddammit, a frank and fetching coming-of-age story in which reality blends seamlessly with sexual fantasies. The film, which had its world premiere at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival, explores the dynamics and pitfalls of teen sexuality in a hilarious, pitch-perfect script that never lapses in taste. When Alma recounts a gauche pass made by a boy she likes at a party, she must contend with denial and ridicule.
Interview filmed by Liza Béar on April 28th 2011 at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Grey Matter: Interview Kivu Ruhorahoza (Part Two)
Liza Béar
2011, 5:03
From YouTube: "In this segment Ruhorahoza discusses the origins of Grey Matter (Matiere Grise) and how—still haunted by the 1994 atrocities—the story elements came together in the aftermath of genocide fifteen years later. 'It's the story of two siblings losing their parents,' he says, 'and of a militia man who was involved in the massacre of those parents.' The script, which Ruhorahoza wrote in French, also contains a film-within-a-film, The Cycle of the Cockroach, which the young Rwandan Balthazar is attempting to make. Part II was filmed by Liza Béar on April 28th during the Tribeca Film Festival 2011 in which Grey Matter had its world premiere. It won the Best Actor Award for Shami Biziman as Yvan, the traumatized Rwandan brother, and a Special Jury Mention in the Best New Narrative Director category.
