NPR's Leila Fadel speaks with Israeli filmmaker Eran Kolirin and Palestinian actor Alex Bakri about the film 'Let it Be Morning'.
When I go to direct the film, I make myself a long list of music that I feel somehow is connected to a certain feeling in the film, which I cannot really express. And for this film, I made this long list of the sweetest pop songs that you can imagine...Because in some ways, I think only a pop song can really drag you out of hell.
Yes, I think that's the darkest moment of the soul in some ways. You know, I wrote the script that this scene kind of came to my head and that was before COVID and, you know, the closure that all the world has gone through. And then when COVID kicked in, suddenly there were those videos coming from Italy about people singing from the balcony at night because they are in siege.
One of my biggest fun in films is to somehow clash together the most funny and stupid thing, the most horrible and saddest thing in the world. I just love the feeling of being thrown from this emotion to that emotion sometimes very, very quickly. And you know about Chandelier — when I go to direct the film, I make myself a long list of music that I feel somehow is connected to a certain feeling in the film, which I cannot really express.
And like a lot of times, the Israeli minister of culture comes there and pretends everything's fine and, you know, as if the state of Israel is promoting coexistence, whereas it's completely the opposite of what's happening. I mean, cooperation between us is happening in spite of the state, not because of it.
The interview with Eran Kolirin and Alex Bakri was produced by Kaity Kline. The digital story was edited by Majd Al-Waheidi.
