Roof Tile
A self-organized film about Yfanet.
Memory, history, movements, capitalism, entertainment industry, work, self-organization. Reading this text, one could assume that what we wanted to create was a militant movie. And yet, we were quite far from this term, at least as it is usually understood today (wooden language, propaganda, didacticism). Undoubtedly, we knew that we were making a political film. Because anyone who says that their movie has no politics in it, is just lying to themselves. But mostly what we wanted was to find a language for all the things that don’t fit. Because for better or worse, we cannot fit all of our anxieties into one brochure. Because there are feelings that cannot be captured in a poster. Because there are fears that cannot unfold in an assembly. Some things simply have to become films, songs, plays etc.
