For me making short films is not a springboard to greater things, but has been instead a happy discovery of an infinitely flexible form of expression. If I am my own boss, I am free to enjoy the fact that this art form is not restricted by boundaries. 

Identification /short film/

 
Seventy years on, and the street has barely changed. The houses look almost identical;  people go about their business. A line of parked cars now stands in the square that the women marched across.
 
It was experiencing this indifference, the indifference of ordinary workaday life, which steps over and across everything, that gave birth to my film.
