How far can words take us in film? From lengthy scripts to wordy funding applications, words are often crucial to convincing others to make a film. Yet the majority of the words that surround a film never appear in the final product, engulfed as they are in images, bodies and faces, movement and sound - all the more so when filmmakers actively resist the pull of plot in favour of an emotional trajectory. This session invites us to consider the delicate balancing act between the written and what's really seen in cinema. With excerpts from her latest film Memory Box (Berlinale Competition 2021), Lebanese director Joana Hadjithomas is joined by script editor Franz Rodenkirchen to ask whether cinema is what we know or can tell, and what we can only describe as act of unmediated experience.
