Declaration
film director
“I sat down three and a half years ago to write the script of Bad Poems. Back then, I noticed that reality was being flooded more and more with digital images, and that every simple tourist was mindlessly archiving memories. […] My emotional career (if such a thing exists) was in a huge crisis, and I soon noticed that I was writing my childhood memories down in the script as a form of therapy. The combination of these two launched the film’s basic starting point. […] The memories came to me in an associative way, and I searched for some kind of invisible connection in them.”
