The choice made by a new director to “depict the roots”

Every film is a condensed version of the creator's strong desire to convey this story to the audience. If this is your first theatrical directorial work, the world still doesn't know anything about that director, so in addition to his technical ability, he will also have the perspective that only he can bring to this world. It goes without saying that you need an overwhelming passion to convey stories that only you can weave, and to convey those stories directly into the hearts of the audience.

“Sami Blood” (c) 2016 NORDISK FILM PRODUCTION

``Sami Blood'', which arrived in Japan from Scandinavia, is the first full-length film by a young female director named Amanda Schönel, born in 1986. In taking her first ``cinematic step'', she chose something unique: to carefully portray her own roots in a style that only she could achieve. A certain kind of determination is required, and it may sometimes lead to unearthing unexpected scars during the research stage. What's more, you may experience indescribable pain during the production process. However, what one becomes acutely aware of while watching this film is the fact that Schönelle herself, more than anyone else, is a quietly passionate seeker who ``want to deeply understand her roots.'' These strong feelings are the driving force behind this film, which makes it stand out from the crowd and captures our hearts.
