2021Film and television are developing more and more into a direction where people are made to look like fools, which seems to have the sole purpose of making ourselves feel better about our own imperfections. In general, people aren’t that different from one another and that’s what Sophie endeavors to emphasize in her films. According to Sophie, the medium of film is there to broaden our horizons and helps us learn more about people and subjects we would otherwise never encounter. She finds a special visual narration in documentary crucial. Sophie believes that documentary is more than finding interesting characters or subjects: form and content must meet in order to keep the film challenging to her and her audience.
