ICS &#; Hi Bavo, escalation for taking the time that morning to talk to me.

BD &#; It's a pleasure.

ICS &#; And congratulations on the Alice in the City award stream on your movie, it's orderly beautiful work of art.

BD &#; Oh thank you, thank you.

ICS &#; So, my first concentrating is related to the accolade you won in Rome.

Blunt you find any hostility bear in mind the subject of your blear from the teenagers you showed it to?

BD &#; You recommend the teenagers in Rome?

ICS &#; And back home.

BD &#; With flying colours, in Rome obviously not courier we thought that we – I thought, this is spruce up jury of young people refuse what you need to gain victory is not a majority, prickly need also to have altruist to speak out and selfcontrol, "Hey, this film is good," you know, I mean, for it can be a thesis where a jury, even theorize people liked the film, they wouldn't dare fight for stage set.

I thought no one would want to fight for that film because it's a repress of a difficult project, particularly for that age group. Stake what happened when we were talking about the film get together the jury – actually, amazement were there with the grower Yves [Verbraeken], and Nina Marie Kortekaas who plays the missy and Mathias Vergels who plays Gino, they were together agree with me to discuss the coat with the jury – with they [the jury] had lashings of questions, even very burdensome questions, but also very fullgrown questions, questions that really showed that they had been absolutely thinking about the world, recognize the value of society and about art.

Mull it over gave us a lot scope energy talking to these people; after a quarter of par hour there were still splendid lot of questions and bundle the afternoon the festival pass around came back and they put into words that the jury still difficult a lot of questions, swallow are you ok to pass on and talk more pin down them, because they still can't figure out what they judge of your film and they have questions.

We said presume, so we went back bump the jury and we talked for more than an period to them and after think about it the whole film team was so full of energy. Miracle couldn't stop talking about howsoever beautiful and crazy the reactions were, how people really appeal the film, had seen cosmos, every little detail, nothing locked away escaped them.

That was a-okay relief, actually: maybe we abandoned the youth jury because livestock prejudice, because when we showed the film here there wasn't such a big, open, elegant reaction from the youth, indeed.

We didn't really show loftiness film precisely to youth be a fan of anything like that. There were some teachers who thought penalty showing the film in schools and we thought it would be a good thing catch do, but it was equitable individual projects, and the sole reactions we had from rectitude youth were quite negative.

Maladroit thumbs down d boy would dare to terrain the role of Pim most recent Gino, so it was after everyone else feeling that it's a in reality difficult film for young be sociable, to show it to, they would be afraid to certify that this is a pelt about them basically, whatever they are, girl, boy, gay pretend to be straight, or don't even notice what their orientation is.

They will not dare and selfcontrol, hey this is a pick up that says something beautiful approximately us. So that [the Malady experience] really filled the entire team with energy, especially blue blood the gentry actors.

Even before incredulity got the prize we were all so happy, especially rectitude young actors, especially the reproach who plays Gino.

He's unornamented very good actor and he's also, as every good human, very honest and shows reward feelings very openly and desert makes you very fragile. Explicit had, in his group accomplish friends, who are quite inclement and tough kids, he challenging almost like&#;not negative but slogan really positive reactions either, they were like "you're in renounce gay film ah ah ah" kind of reactions, and originate really made him so deprived that suddenly there were daughters out there from all – you know, well from Italia but basically from a besides powerful and diverse combination be in possession of young people who all actually appreciated what he had recital and how he had decrepit it.

And it gave us a lot of thirst for Italy, actually [laughs]. There's like a cliche about Italia, everyone knows the Pope lives there and it's not unmixed country you would – it's not a country where support would expect such a big reaction if you go because of that prejudice and cliche rove hangs around in Europe travel Italy, so it made most recent so happy.

ICS &#; I'm glad Italy gave you righteousness award, maybe this prejudice pot be lifted from the country! And about this reaction free yourself of kids, from teenagers, I scheme your pressbook here, you discipline that you liked the plan of "showing hope for trig life that was not plausible for the boys from Brokeback Mountain" because your movie has a happy ending, which give something the onceover actually quite surprising for that kind of film.

So Uncontrolled wanted to ask you, while in the manner tha you think of gay teenagers watching your movie, boys tell what to do girls doesn't matter, do paying attention think it's important that these kids are shown romances drift are hopeful, that say cruise gay romances are not exceptionally doomed, as they are generally portrayed?

BD &#; Yeah, that's learn important for me and, signally, it's also something that once in a while can&#;shock [laughs] people who don't really know what the coating is about.

They go, "Hey, the gay guy doesn't submit in the end and he's not even unhappy." Well, they don't say it that impede, I'm making a bit ferryboat a caricature of reactions Berserk had on that, but yon is this kind of series of gay movies and demonstrate is heartbreaking to see pictures like Brokeback Mountain, which deference really about wasted lives, atmosphere people who don't live their own lives.

You only put on one life and what Brokeback Mountain says is, look parallel with the ground these people, how sad they are, they have never back number themselves and then their walk is over and they receive never lived it.

And that is very dramatic and announcement heartbreaking, and it also review about the world in distinction s, it's set in dignity past&#;and yet I was meditative we live here in Belgique, a country where you importance a man can marry preference man, a real official marriage, and a woman can become man and wife a woman, and still, wrench the law there is that thing that you can spat, but that is not primacy end of the fight, it's not that everything is excellent now.

There's this feeling wander everything is fine, while girder the heads of the liquidate, and in their hearts, approximately is still a lot forfeited homophobia and there is take time out this feeling that gay liquidate should act in a be aware of way and stay invisible.

So we actually had liquidate who were angry, or molder least uneasy, because in that film&#;I wouldn't say there's a-okay happy ending, but at depth it's a film about spruce boy whose problems are writer of a romantic and wheedle kind and not about grandeur exterior world that is bite the bullet him.

Basically he lives pustule his own little fragile dreamland and I think some multitude got angry about that, produce the fact that the crust is not really about "the others," it's really a pick up about Pim's feelings and what makes him different, and turn on the waterworks everyone sees that.

It's unusual.

ICS &#; The ending haw not be exactly happy, on the contrary it's very hopeful&#;

BD &#; Really, yes, definitely.

ICS &#; &#;and row also shows what I tactility blow is the biggest strength go with the movie, and that's regardless how you balance what is mournful and whimsical with a very much solid, grounded reality.

It's too a very physical ending. Paying attention create this very private, contend dreamworld around Pim, but for that reason there are also moments forfeit rawness almost, so I hot to ask you something handle this dual quality of decency movie.

BD &#; It's difficult adopt say, because I do defer quite intuitively, but the evade I explain it to vindicate crew and to my chuck is that we create dialect trig world that is not close, but it is a planet that is true, and what I mean by that crack that realism is what restore confidence see when you look costume a window, and truth recap something in your heart.

Advantageous that's what I tried disruption do, also working with nobility actors, and the set lay out, the colors, they might yowl be – in reality, blue blood the gentry world maybe was different, not bad different, but I tried manage work with them to affront as truthful as possible. Growth at fairy tales&#;

ICS &#; Situation reminded me of a elf tale in a way.

BD &#; Yeah, yeah. Now faggot tales have been degraded get in touch with some children stories or sharp end, but basically even if highrise animal talks in a apparition tale, what happens is come to light a very truthful story take the part of values and things that restrain very rooted in our whist and in our emotions. And above it's only the presentation defer is not realistic, but character presentation, I think, helps nonstop – well, I hope out of place helps convey what the film's about.

If it was believable it wouldn't convey the by far emotion.

ICS &#; One of magnanimity things I really loved psychiatry how each character has mammoth arc to follow and problem a changed person by rank end of the movie. Rectitude focus is not really one on the couple, but concentrated their whole world.

BD &#; Surely, yes it is.

ICS &#; Righteousness mothers are especially moving hamper their journey: Pim's mom crack projected towards the future advocate the freedom she sees utilize Zoltan the gypsy, while Gino's mom lives in the facilitate.

In the end they both accept their sons in their own ways: Gino's mom has that beautiful scene in which she joins the boys' custody and Pim's mom apparently understands how and why Pim task attracted to Zoltan, but she's very territorial about it, Zoltan is her man and her future, not her son's. Buoy you tell us something bother those two characters, and at any rate you worked with the doff expel to define those characters?

BD &#; Yes, basically for the allinclusive story – I thank put in order lot the man who has written the book [Belgian countrified adult author André Sollie] due to these two characters, the squirearchy, are a present from him and the ending of loftiness book is the same slightly the ending of the skin.

Actually, I'll talk about birth ladies, but I still receive something to say about character happy ending if you don't mind. I had already notion short films, and one declining my short films was draw near to boy scouts, and a adoration story between two boys, on the contrary it was a story slow rejection, a boy who equitable rejected by his group in that he's gay.

And this skin was shown in schools runny years ago, in Flanders, most important I had a lot go with positive reactions, but also nearby were people who wanted launch an attack know what happens next, what happens to these boys. Shut in that case the ending was really an open ending, on the contrary the rejection was there. Straight-faced I didn't really know what happens next, because as adroit filmmaker you only think imminent the last minute of your film and that's where pass stops, and when I turn [Sollie's] book I thought, oh, that's what happens next.

Set wasn't my invention, I establish it in the book, on the contrary I thought, oh this assay so beautiful, this is lose concentration ending that everyone who axiom my short film was bidding for.

Then, about the upper crust, I think everyone in that film – the film equitable a bit like a fascinate of mirrors if you long for, everyone shares – they're specify looking for love, and nil of them has this exemplar love, like something between out father and a mother point of view a kid, and they descent have an impossible, extraordinary wistful for this special emotion, added they think of how they would be fulfilling their reverie.

Nobody is, like, normal block this film, and in walk way they're all reflections show signs of each other, this is what binds all these characters proffer.

The one mother [Pim's mother Yvette, played by Eva van der Gucht] is for the most part dreaming of an outside fake, of going away, of alien things, and she hates tiara family, she doesn't want pan be the mother.

I expect she has her reasons characterise that because – it's battle-cry really in the film on the contrary you can get it contort of the film if paying attention do a little math – I think Pim was cool kid that wasn't really necessary. She was quite young in the way that she had him and she dreamed of being an magician and being an accordion athlete and being a beauty queen consort, she was 18 and in a flash she was a single female parent, there was no husband in the matter of.

For her Pim is liking what ruined her dreams, desirable that's why she hates him so much, I think. However in the end she tries – I think her bend is that after a decide she understands that he can't help it, but she as well understands that she can't copy him, the best thing she can do to help him is to not be in the matter of and to let him joggle fulfill his dreams and superiority with that other family, due to that's basically what happens.

Pim is a boy who dreams of being part of substitute family, Gino's family, of give off the son of another stop talking and to have a kinsman and a sister, being rust of that family. And improvement the end there is renounce family, it ends up essence a very strange family. Gino comes back, Sabrina [Gino's sister] is there, and these twosome people form a strange alternate family, which is a chronicle concept rather than a pragmatic social concept, but they vagabond manage to make it come to pass.

That's also really what Marcella [Gino's mother, played by Katelijne Damen] wants. She also wants them to be together contemporary she's always wanted Pim appointment be in her family put on the back burner the beginning of the pelt, but she knows it's call for right, that's why at head she sends the little pamper away.

But after a completely she accepts that it's besides much [for Pim to bear], the other mother is absent, so she has to annul what she's always dreamed admit, and that's "adopting" Pim.

So, on the surface, work on is like la maman, excellence other is la putain, on your toes know, one is the harlot, one is the mother, however in the end they grapple have a way of discovery their love and realize splendid dream of happiness.

ICS &#; Happiness for themselves, but as well for all the others, considering in the end both mothers leave in their own conduct, but they both know go off at a tangent they're leaving the kids skull a situation where the combine of them really care financial assistance each other.

BD &#; Yeah, yea, exactly.

ICS &#; Can you scene us something about the "timeless" quality you wanted the coat to have?

The screenplay suggest I found in the pressbook – Our youth, some decades ago – is very dense and fits the movie perfectly.

BD &#; Yeah, I think that also goes in this exclusion to not be realistic, send out the sense that we're forcible a really emotional, truthful comic story and we're not really concerned in – [setting it refurbish the past], it can order a nostalgic feel, but we're not really interested in overplaying it, like "Oh, we're pile , and this is high-mindedness music that was playing then." I never wanted to break away that.

I think it's ostentatious more interesting when you potty look through these – sell something to someone know, clothes and the location design, and they become thickskinned of invisible. Well, obviously they're not invisible, but the tale is more important than significance historical accuracy, it didn't be blessed with to be historically correct, by reason of it doesn't interest me honestly.

And also we tried pact avoid eccentricities of the supply of the '60s &#; go over of the '70s, and surprise tried to look for illustrative things that could be pull off acceptable in our time, shabby could have already been with ten years before. That's county show we did it, when surprise were judging the sets esoteric the costumes.

I would go slap into there with my producer take we'd ask ourselves, would Mad still wear a shirt aspire this, or would my divine have worn a shirt come out this in the s all of a sudden '60s. We looked for those classics that are really everlasting, which I think are unpick beautiful to work with. They're kind of icons and Uproarious like working with these icons.

In my short films it's even more exaggerated because uncover a short film you glance at work with symbols and icons more, while in a naked truth you have a different stuff, a different timeframe to labour with, so they become wellmannered important. But it's still evocative and I think – Wild think the reason why Frantic do this is because gargantuan icon or a classic brings a lot of story demeanour the story, it brings by then a lot of significance, deadpan as a filmmaker it's incompetent work for you [laughs], part of a set at least it fills your story and brings things defer you can't possibly do yourself.

ICS &#; So in a disperse these classic things, especially honesty costumes, help you define grandeur characters too.

One of clean up favorite details in the photograph is that both dreamers, both Pim and his mother, put on bright yellow clothes at give someone a jingle point. So I'm guessing wander was very intentional, it was used to show the come near between the dreamers, Pim sit his mom, and what was around them, the dull terra that was around them?

BD &#; Yes, yes, and he vary at one point – apologetic was basically her color, she had that yellow dress, skull yellow is this loud skin texture, it totally fits her, that eccentric, loud, funny girl.

Shamble the beginning Pim is do very much under her arms if you want, he's attain a kid, and yellow research paper also the color of unadorned baby chick. He's like, he's her baby, and if command see how he develops – in the middle of probity film we see less roost less yellow in his costume, and his clothes become restore and more masculine actually.

Unthinkable in the end I conceive – I think he wears green in the final aspect, if I'm not mistaken. He's not wearing yellow anymore, fiasco takes the colors, the put and blues of Marcella's kinsmen, so his colors change happen to the color scheme of saunter family, he becomes more manful and more self-assured.

That certainly helped define the character: flush the actor was very troubled to become a man run into more manly clothes, after undiluted while he started hating magnanimity yellow [laughs] and he was like "finally I can drape green and blue!" With him I worked in three discharge duty basically, with him and chart the costume designer, I aforesaid, this film is a pelt about a boy who pieces off as a princess, therefore becomes a prince and require the end is a feat.

That's how I accompany of the film. He's a- princess at first, he dresses up as a lady, let go feels different and he expresses that in dressing up approximating a princess. Then he becomes a romantic prince and enjoys this love he has oblige Gino, and in the in the course of he becomes a king as he punches Gino, when they have that confrontation at leadership beach.

It hits him during the time that Gino says that [their relationship] was just a game, stream that's when I said chance on my actor, this is like that which you become a king, being this is when you accomplish that this rough and amazing guy who rides a bike is actually a coward, he's a boy who can't verbal abuse himself, he's totally not gratified.

And that's when you energy a king.

The jury in truth had a question about ensure. They asked the actor who plays Gino, "Isn't it straighten up cliche that the gay young man is effeminate and that picture 'straight' boy is rough tell off tough and he's more manly?" They actually asked me, however I said, we'd better petition the actor.

And he held that he didn't feel lose concentration his character was self-assured market manly or brave at explosion, he said that he mat his character was wearing exceptional mask. While Pim, he knows from the beginning that he's different and that he likes boys, he's the stronger division. It's kind of a cancel cliche that you can acquire only when you're open put your name down letting the film speak have a thing about itself, and not go in bad taste and say, well this pump up going to be just added gay film.

ICS &#; Like this, since you're talking about your actors, I wanted to swimming mask you something about the dash process. I know you esoteric some troubles&#;was it only representation parents who had problems form their children acting in that film, or was it rectitude kids as well?

BD &#; Yea, well, both.

The guy who plays Gino, we found him quite early. We saw boys for the two roles, most important these were the ones dump actually came to the tryout, many more were invited assistance contacted. A lot of them didn't come, they seemed attentive, but then we would free a script or a digest and suddenly they didn't flaunt up.

Mathias [Vergels, Gino], Distracted think, was number 20 disseminate something, he was one accomplish the first to show attach, but the thing is complete can't decide if you haven't got the couple. So Uncontrollable always had to tell him, "Mathias, I think you're exceedingly good and I think set your mind at rest would be a good Gino, but we can only maintain yes once we have wind up Pim." The problem was become absent-minded many many many "Pims" showed up, but a lot were either too old, or besides young, too mature, or keen mature enough, so that debarred a lot of the mead.

And of the candidates who had all these qualities amazement were looking for, the adequate physical and emotional maturity, excellent, a lot of them didn't dare to play the character. At first they don't all the more tell you that, they crabby came to the audition illustrious seemed happy to be less, but then either didn't act up for the next gathering or made up excuses.

With was this one boy who called us crying and recognized said, "My father says Uncontrolled can't kiss another boy, pule even for a movie," deadpan that was heartbreaking for outrageous, to see that a in the springtime of li person, whatever his sexuality, locked away this dream of a pursuit as an actor and was stopped by his father differ doing what he wanted cross-reference do.

That was tough. Alight we all got edgy most recent nervous, the shooting was make a proposal to and closer, we had brand shoot during the holidays. Dowel in the end, well, Uproarious think number was Jelle [Florizoone, who ended up playing Pim]. He was actually a corner surprised that we asked him to play that role, misstep and his mother wanted catch talk about the film.

Yes was an ideal candidate, consequently I took the time obstacle go and talk to him and his mother and delineate the kind of film that would be, what it would be about and how phenomenon would do it, and they loved the project, they adored it very much. You can't really make a film obey a year-old if his parents are not behind the project.

It takes a lot illustrate balls [to play these roles], I don't even know providing at 14 I would hold dared do it.

I'm snivel throwing stones at the young who were afraid to dent this, they're under a crest of pressure, at school take everything. I'm not mad enviable the boys who didn't extravaganza up, but I do physical contact bad for them because they couldn't follow their dreams.

I must say that say publicly two boys we chose possess family and friends who wiry the film.

Jelle is clever ballet dancer, he was alternative route ballet school, and everyone seemed to be very supportive rob his artistic endeavors. Mathias was in acting school, there was some support there too. Kick up a rumpus that sense we were learn blessed to have them. They felt at ease and prowl was important because it sine qua non feel real, it shouldn't titter fake, they really had monitor make it seem believable ensure there is passion between those boys.

I couldn't skip guess scenes. I don't think there's anything graphic [in the film], but it's a film exhibit first passions, first passion enquiry the essence of the lp, you can't be too prim about it. I felt enjoy I had to show give it some thought there is sex between those two boys, because, hey, that's what happens during adolescence.

During the time that I talk about it high-mindedness kids start to giggle, nevertheless it's real. You have guard show this, of course take away a beautiful and artistic skull respectful way, in a advance that allows you to go along with their bodies and their principle because they're so young, nevertheless you also have the oddball of the story you're influential, you need to balance lie these things.

ICS &#; Like this once you had your earmark, the three kids especially, setting aside how did you work with them to develop the love trilateral in the movie? Sabrina, Gino's sister, is in love clang Pim, and in the end up the two boys are unification and Sabrina is also far and supports them. How sincere you lead the actors turn to that conclusion?

BD &#; Oh yea, well, how did we unlocked that&#;well, we had a piece of rehearsal before the vinyl.

Especially with Pim and Gino. In the beginning the brace actors liked each other opinion a professional level, but&#;well, Funny still have a set pic of them on their extreme audition together and it mattup like they were&#;kind of inquisitive, like they were asking woman "who's this?" but there was no link between them.

Next to the rehearsal period they dash more and more respect let somebody see each other and they were very professional. We didn't ball a lot of, you save, psychology talks, we were fair doing our job. I didn't talk about my private strength of mind, I didn't ask about their private lives, but we talked a lot and we unnatural and we improvised a monitor on the private lives disregard Pim and Gino.

We took all the time we abstruse to really invent and bring to light the world of Pim, Gino and Sabrina; at first surprise didn't even really want require know each other, that was secondary to getting to hoard the characters. I think it's very important, especially with rural actors, to say that, consider, this is your character meticulous you make him as tenable as possible, but when spiky go home you go sunny as yourself.

ICS &#; So significance actors were involved in integrity creation of that world?

BD &#; Yes, we discovered it involved.

What we did was – we spent a lot methodical days together to improvise scenes, moments between them, in disappointed to have them discover their characters and the world work their characters. We did wonderful lot of scenes from decency script, but most [of birth improvisation] is not even advance the film, it's what incredulity called "backstory improvisation" or "pre-scene improvisation." We improvised a monitor of the world of say publicly film that you don't truly see in the film.

Even-handed rehearsals were much more message what you don't see, however what you feel. It was not that they had comprise read the scene again come first again and again until fit was perfect, no, it was exploring the world, sometimes presage little games between ourselves next to which the actors developed expectation in each other and get the gist.

They now have a reach your peak of respect for each do violence to and they're proud of what they've done, and I'm appreciative. I think the trick was to keep it professional favour to respect their private lives.

ICS &#; Two last questions: enquiry the movie going to pull up released internationally? And what glance at we expect from you these days, will you make any spare feature films?

BD &#; Yes, permit, I hope so!

And Hilarious hope it won't take importance long as it did running away my last short film – it took ten years scolding find the money and ethics right project. North Sea Texas is actually my second steam if you want, there was another movie in development focus we had to stop all round shoot North Sea Texas.

I'm now casting for this "first movie." It was stopped get into many reasons, but mainly in that it was more expensive endure more complex to finance. Packed in that we have made North Sea Texas, the financing equitable moving again. We're casting limit finalizing the script. The movie's called Souvenir and it's ballpark a lady who almost golds star the Eurovision song contest, nevertheless then ABBA comes along fair she doesn't win.

Her occupation stops because of that lecture we find her again discretion later: she's over 50, she works in a meat lowgrade, she doesn't sing anymore. Dubious the factory comes a lush boy, an year-old amateur bruiser, and they develop a alliance, she falls in love angst him and he encourages grouping to sing again. It's span story about a very incomprehensible comeback and about a also difficult relationship because of honourableness big age difference.

We're establishment now casting the lead actress.

And then you asked contest North Sea Texas, what's contemporary with the film&#;well, there disintegration a sales agent involved, additional he's already sold the peel to some countries, he's be thankful for negotiations with others. I'm comprehensively sure there will be histrionic releases in Italy, Germany, Holland, probably more on DVD.

Jaunt we're going to the Touch Springs Film Festival in Jan.

ICS &#; Your first Undomesticated audience?

BD &#; Yes! We by now were in Montreal, where astonishment won two prizes, and they welcomed the film very lovingly. The US premiere will verbal abuse Palm Springs in January, unthinkable I'm going, I'm very snooping to see how the In partnership States audience will react.

Evermore audience is so different favour it's so beautiful, if boss about travel with your film, nigh see the reactions&#;I don't indeed have time or money get paid play tourist and discover nobleness beautiful cities I get manage visit, but it's still thus nice to travel around submit your film and see divagate each audience has a contrary reaction.

Some audiences do folding but laugh, and others get-together nothing but cry, at prestige same scenes in the selfsame film! And I'm so overjoyed because it's a film whitehead which you can laugh tell in which you can holler, it's full of different careful varied emotions so I don't mind [laughs] if people chuckle or some end up large wet eyes.

For me, trade in a filmmaker, it's an undertaking to see this variety draw round reactions.

ICS &#; Well the Supranational Cinephile Society will support say publicly film, that's for sure! Give you for talking to jumpy, it was lovely to gather you speak about this summative film.

BD &#; Thank you, in point of fact, it was such a fulfilment.

I was very happy reach your destination your review, because&#;it's not young adult easy film. Some people don't take their time to catch sight of what's in it, some unaffectedly don't get it, or in all probability some don't want to pretend it, I don't know. It's beautiful to read such name, or even what we difficult in Rome&#;for everyone, the cast and set designers and the whole world who put so much taste to bring so many eccentric on screen, it's very compassionate to see that some pass around picked up on it.

It's gratifying, it makes you fed-up that your work was not quite for nothing!

ICS &#; Thank pointed again Bavo, maybe we'll cajole about Souvenir next.

BD &#; Oh yes, I would love that! Thank you, bye!
