Declaration
film director
“Panke is Issaka Zoungrana, and the conversations we had while we were making – finding – the film, because we worked without script, trusting that the film would emerge from our experiences and not from some words written on a piece of paper. Panke is Bissa, that beautiful and mysterious African language that Issaka speaks, which inspired me and helped me a lot to find the final form and tonality of the film. Panke is Iván, my close friend and step-brother who died some years ago, and it is also the father of Issaka, who died short before we started making the film. Panke is also an attempt to follow Rossellini’s suggestions about making a film with the least money possible, in order to enhance the possibility for new forms or structures to arise.”
