Yulia Trofimova lives and works in Moscow. She studied screenwriting and filmmaking on the New York Movie Academy in 2017-2018 and directing on the Moscow College of New Cinema in 2018-2019. She’s directed quite a few dramedy shorts and a dramedy internet sequence, “Instalife.”

“The Land of Sasha” is screening on the 2022 Berlin Worldwide Movie Competition, which is happening February 10-20.

W&H: Describe the movie for us in your personal phrases.

YT: This can be a film about coming of age in its broadest sense, because it has no relation to age. In my film, each mom and son go by way of this stage, however for every of them coming of age has a unique which means: for the primary character, Sasha, it means taking [on] accountability, and for his mom, it’s letting her son go.

W&H: What drew you to this story?

YT: First, I learn the guide. It’s the debut novel of Gala Uzryutovaby, a Russian feminine author who received a prize within the class of younger grownup literature. I like books about youth — they’re usually extra honest than books about adults.

After studying this guide, I felt an emotional uplift, which I believed could be nice to convey with the means I do know – the film. There was loads of hope, tenderness, and care on this guide.

W&H: What would you like folks to consider after they watch the movie?

YT: I need them to really feel that the whole lot is feasible — all of the roads are open in entrance of them, no matter their age. And that, in spite of everything, folks want different folks.

W&H: What was the most important problem in making the movie?

YT: I assume the most important problem was to search out the primary actors. I met loads of girls and boys finding out in Russian theater and cinema institutes. First, I simply had interviews with them to see what personalities they’d. [The only thing I thought that mattered] was what was within them, how they’re wired, what makes them tick.

With the primary character, Sasha, it took me lengthy to search out the suitable particular person. I knew precisely who I used to be in search of and I couldn’t discover him – till I met Mark Eidelshtein. However Mark might solely do it a month after the deliberate taking pictures schedule. There was a dilemma — [we had to figure out] whether or not or not we might wait. Ready for us meant additional prices and altering the crew. I’m grateful to the producer, Katerina Mikhaylova, who was able to shift the manufacturing schedule and make it occur.

W&H: How did you get your movie funded? Share some insights into how you bought the movie made.

YT: I labored with Katerina Mikhaylova, our producer, on the net sequence “Instalife,” and I confirmed her the script of the function movie I used to be engaged on. It was “The Land of Sasha.” I used to be fortunate as a result of I’ve very comparable style with Katerina, and he or she actually understood how this film might look. She fell in love with the concept as a lot as I did. Possibly that’s what you name ladies energy! From that time on, Katerina was on it. We submitted the appliance for the subsidy of the Russian Ministry of Tradition and have been chosen amongst a couple of different initiatives. That 12 months, 2020, the competition was particularly powerful.

Additionally, due to Katerina’s efforts, we received help from the personal basis Kinoprime.

W&H: What impressed you to turn into a filmmaker?

YT: I used to be at all times inquisitive about literature, images, and visible artwork. I used to write down tales once I was a toddler, and I took loads of footage. Motion pictures are on the intersection of those two passions. Apart from, as a result of motion pictures I usually had a sense that somebody understood me – oftentimes there have been characters who have been very relatable to what I skilled, and watching these motion pictures was like remedy or speaking to a very good good friend.

I needed to do one thing comparable in order that my private experiences and the themes that fear me might contact and possibly even assist different folks.

W&H: What’s one of the best and worst recommendation you’ve acquired?

YT: The most effective recommendation I acquired was from one of many administrators at a Sundance Collab course who stated that expertise is the choice. There’s no level worrying for those who’ve received expertise or not — it’s best to simply cease asking your self this query and resolve that you’re following your ardour one hundred pc.

The worst recommendation I received was from one of many folks with whom I shared the story of “The Land of Sasha.” This was was earlier than I met Katerina. They requested, “What number of coming-of-age tales can there be? There’s nothing distinctive about it.” However I do notice now that coming of age is without doubt one of the essential experiences by way of which each particular person passes and every of those tales will probably be distinctive. The theme is common, however the expertise may be very particular person, and subsequently attention-grabbing to look at.

W&H: What recommendation do you’ve gotten for different ladies administrators? 

YT: I feel ladies have a really deep, psychological approach of taking a look at issues. Feminine administrators might assist so as to add dimensions to the outline of the world and understanding of individuals’s nature by way of characters. My recommendation could be to stay to the themes you’re really inquisitive about and never to surrender.

Additionally, it’s vital to search out collaborators — individuals who will struggle for you. It was a protracted interval of speaking to many producers earlier than I discovered Katerina and it was only a excellent match. For a director, it’s vital to search out your personal producer. In my case, it was not solely luck, it was persistence.

The staff of our movie consists of many ladies – moreover Katerina and myself, there’s the creator of the guide, two feminine screenwriters, a feminine manufacturing designer, a feminine 1st AD, and a feminine line producer.

W&H: Title your favourite woman-directed movie and why.

YT: I’m a giant fan of Sofia Coppola, significantly “Misplaced in Translation.” Additionally, I received impressed by Julia Ducournau’s “Uncooked” and “Titane.”

W&H: How are you adjusting to life through the COVID-19 pandemic? Are you conserving artistic, and in that case, how?

YT: Surprisingly, I received rather more artistic through the pandemic. Possibly it’s a type of escapism, however I began writing new scripts, approaching new folks, forming new collaborations. Total, I broke up loads of my routine patterns through the pandemic. Generally I felt very nervous, however I discovered methods to channel this nervous vitality into creativity.

W&H: The movie business has a protracted historical past of underrepresenting folks of shade onscreen and behind the scenes and reinforcing — and creating — damaging stereotypes. What actions do you assume should be taken to make it extra inclusive?

YT: I feel it begins with the script writing – screenwriters ought to begin breaking down limitations by introducing folks of various races, colours, genders, and so on. onto the web page.

Festivals additionally play a giant position — they need to help inclusivity in movies.
