Скачать или смотреть LIMBO director Ben Sharrock Travels to Syria and Sheds Light on Refugee Crisis

Ben Sharrock joins Jon Stenvall to talk about his travels to Syria and how the experience inspired him to write and direct the critically acclaimed movie LIMBO.

In the interview, we discuss the difficulties filming in gale force winds on a remote Scottish island, his motivation to make the movie, and his thoughts on why refugees are often dehumanized.

Synopsis:

Recently nominated for two BAFTA® awards for Best British Film and Best Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer, LIMBO is a wry and poignant observation of the refugee experience, set on a fictional remote Scottish island where a group of new arrivals await the results of their asylum claims. It centers on Omar, a young Syrian musician who is burdened by his grandfather’s oud, which he has carried all the way from his homeland.

Reflecting the complexity of the movement of people across borders has been a long-held passion for director and writer Ben Sharrock, who spent time working for an NGO in refugee camps in southern Algeria and living in Damascus in 2009 shortly before the outbreak of the Syrian civil war. There, he formed a network of friends whose personal stories inspired the film.

Written and directed by Sharrock, Limbo stars Amir El-Masry (The Night Manager), along with Vikash Bhai, Ola Orebiyi, Kwabena Ansah, Sidse Babett Knudsen and Kais Nashif (Tel Aviv on Fire). Producers are Irune Gurtubai and Angus Lamont.
