Grey Matter: Interview with Kivu Ruhorahoza (Part One)
Liza Béar
2011, 6:01
From YouTube: "Grey Matter, the first feature film made by a Rwandan living in Rwanda, is a film-within-a-film about a filmmaker, Balthazar, trying to make a film, The Cycle of the Cockroach, about brother-sister characters coping with the trauma of the Rwandan genocide. It's a haunting, skillful blend of metaphor, reality, hallucination and nightmare. The film, written and directed by twenty-eight-year-old Kivu Ruhorahoza, won a Special Jury Mention in the Best New Narrative Director category and a Best Actor award for Shami Bizimana as Yvan, the mad brother.

Liza Béar interviewed Kivu Ruhorahoza on April 28 at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival. Interview location courtesy East of Eighth, West 23rd St, Chelsea."
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."

The Journals of Musan: Interview with Park Jung-bum
Liza Béar
2011, 9:50
From YouTube: "Writer-director Park Jung-bum's powerful first feature The Journals of Musan, in which he plays the leading role, deservedly won the Best New Narrative Director Award at Tribeca Film Festival 2011 for its insightful portrait of a North Korean defector in Seoul, so. Korea, grappling with the contradictions of consumer capitalism as he tries to survive, both physically and psychically, on the fringes of society. Park was assistant director on Lee Chang Dong's Poetry. The Journals of Musan was previously screened at festivals in Pusan, Marrakech, Rotterdam and Krakow, where it also won awards.

Liza Béar interviewed Park Jung-bum on April 26th during a public screening of his film at the Clearview Cinemas. Thanks to Grace Jung for translating and to East of Eighth for the interview location."

The Journals of Musan screens at the Museum of Modern Art in New York from August 17–23, 2011.
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.
