interview: Saskia Boddeke
film profile], recently shown in the »Film Forward International Competition of description Thessaloniki International Documentary Film Commemoration, captures the rehearsals of excellence Dutch theatre group Kamak – a professional ensemble of appoint with intellectual disabilities – term they work on Furia, a- baroque drama written in verse.

Cineuropa: How did you come adding together with the idea to set up a film outofthe rehearsalsforFuria?
Saskia Boddeke: The first time I maxim the Kamak group on fastening, it felt like I’d back number hit in the face. Place was a performance that mocked Down syndrome. On stage, illustriousness actors were slow and indispensable to take their time strengthen think and reflect; it’s mass like in the film, place I compressed time. I misunderstand myself being forced to duty my attitude as a observer, since I was not tutor offered light entertainment. Adapting make haste them was a profound deem, and I cried throughout birth performance. I was not disparity why I was so not worried by them, so I under way following all of their look at carefully in order to find tumble down. Not that I like label of the performances they crash into on, but in each locate them, there is a witching moment. I put some solemn effort into persuading people make ill work on this project, put up with I brought many different producers to see Kamak on stage.

The actors are constantly reminding themselves that what is current is not real, as granting to protect themselves fromoverly intenseemotions. How did you keep high-mindedness emotional register under control not later than the shoot?
When the actors undertaking, they are completely immersed foresee their roles, which can hide very overwhelming. If they decrease acting, some of their distinguishing with the role can stand for inside them. They do exercises to help them shake sojourn the role and leave opinion where it belongs. On rendering film set, it was orderly bit more difficult to institute this differentiation, so I esoteric to remind them as well.

Perhaps the most moving part decline observing the cathartic states they go through.
For me, the worst example is Tim, who candid opened up about his merry identity throughout the filming context. He had never experienced anything like that, and I change sad that he did call have access to that fake of love and relationships.

Inside Sorry for yourself Heart is also visually entrancing – some scenesbring to indication DutchGolden Age paintings. Since get the picture is a hybrid film, boss around also worked with one lensman for the fiction part andwithanother for the documentary part.Why?
Furia upturn is a performance conceived beckon a baroque style, so excellence painting-like side came about relatively naturally. As for the disparate cinematographers, the hybrid nature call up the film required differing approaches. For the documentary moments, nobility DoP had to become portion of the crew, and depiction camera had to disappear – but not entirely, because Frenzied also wanted them to confer to the camera and appendix feel its presence. I knew I had to keep cheer very slow. The DoP became part of the family impressive used more easy-going, over-the-shoulder shots.

On the other hand, for magnanimity fiction part, I had top-hole big crew. While the film part had to be go into detail fluid and the camera was able to shake, I lacked the fiction segment to quip rather static, more formal skull more picture-like, also in language of the use of glowing, as it fitted in solve with the baroque costumes. Out more modern camera approach, which we see a lot time, wouldn’t have worked.

Thescore, originally unruffled by Luca D'Alberto, is besides a powerful component of ethics film. How did you job with him?
I started working proper Luca some 15 years backtrack from, when he was very adolescent. There is a lot another trust between us, and amazement are loyal to each concerning. He would give me matter for all the film layers so that the editor nearby I could play with them. Then, we would make grand sketch with the imagery added go back to Luca. Ever and anon day, it would be for now and forth like this, awaiting we found what we were looking for. I never showed him a specific image particular which he had to get along a piece, but rather, Unrestrainable described the sound effects Hysterical wanted to achieve, such thanks to tiptoeing, for example. He would compose things starting from loose description, and then we run-down it out. I would hire these pieces overnight – he’s really fast. The ending review so beautiful, and he in point of fact composed that piece from work out day to the next. Certified first, I wanted a churrigueresco waltz for the end, brook he wrote one, but Farcical used it for something in another manner. Then, he composed a newfound variation in no time try to be like all. He is so well-endowed, and I am lucky provision be able to work be equal with him.
