section, which highlights new projects and fresh voices from Asia, feels like a culmination in more ways than one.
“This one is much more the result of the exploration of the region and the collaboration we have been building with talents over the last two and a half years,” explains Open Doors director Sophie Bourdon. “On the co-production side, it’s only first-time feature directors with one exception, but many of them have had shorts featured at the festival.”
“The biggest challenge this year was that we were not able to scout the films, projects, talents on-site,” Bourdon says. “It has been difficult and disappointing not to be able to do that. Cinema is an adventure and scouting projects from a distance through Zoom meetings is not the same.” “We have a diversity from experimental cinema, like ‘The Water Garden’ from Mongolia, to more genre cinema like the Vietnamese entry ‘Who Created Human Beings.’ I think there is a wave of new voices in the region, and I think they want to speak about their country as it is, they want to show something different and to move away from the same kind of stories you’re used to seeing,” Bourdon says.
