“Considering that in many countries, being a woman filmmaker is seen as unusual or even suspect, these breakthrough films often represent an extra measure of achievement in societies where women are discouraged from pursuing male-dominated professions.”
Basholli and Andini both say that they were lucky to come from families who encouraged their dreams to become a filmmaker. “I was born in the world of cinema,” Andini says. “My father is a filmmaker. But I never wanted to be one when I was a kid. I love art in general … I started learning film when I was in high school [when] the digital era arrived.”
Basholli continued her film studies as a graduate student at New York University. She says that the biggest differences between filmmaking in Kosovo and in the United States are that in Kosovo, most filmmakers get public funding, and they have fewer restrictions placed on them, in terms of permits and insurance, but they also have less access to equipment resources. “We had a lot of family members help each other,” Basholli says of her experiences starting out as a filmmaker in Kosovo.
Basholli and Andini both say that they feel honored that their movies were chosen to represent their respective countries at the Academy Awards, and they hope this representation will give people cinematic perspectives of how women live in their countries’ cultures. “But at the same time, I feel that now there is another mountain to climb,” Andini says, citing other challenges of being a woman filmmaker in Indonesia.
Andini comments on what filmmaking is like for women in Indonesia: “Indonesia's film industry is actually very open to female filmmakers, since we have female names throughout our history of cinema. The industry is still developing; we don't even have grants or funding in general for any filmmakers.
