In Donbass, young Ukrainian soldiers still fight against pro-Russian separatists. Loup Bureau’s “Trenches,” world premiered in the Out of Competition strand of the Venice Film Festival,…
spoke to the French journalist about the challenges posed by the making of this complex war documentary.
Filming trenches in black-and-white served as a tool to draw a parallel between old and modern warfares. “As a Westerner, what struck me was seeing them and think about World War I. That’s a very specific image we have in mind. It’s terrifying, something you think would never happen again. The idea was to bring the viewers back to the past and make them think of old movies. Out of the trenches, however, there was no reason to keep black-and-white images.
Bureau shot 70 hours of footage over the course of three months and had to face several ethical dilemmas. “When you’re filming soldiers fighting on the frontlines, you need to make sure not to put them in danger. There are still people fighting in the trenches I visited. The images I’ve shot may be used by other people, including the separatists backed by the Russians, for strategic purposes. That’s why different spaces that seem connected in the film aren’t in reality.
