The bond between mother and daughter is one of the greatest we’ll ever experience within our life times, the older we become, the tougher it can perhaps become to let guards down and communicate with one another – personal circumstances getting in the way of making much needed quality time to reunite and reconnect. Meditating on this powerful bond, co-directors Sandrine Brodeur-Desrosiers and Carmine Pierre-Dufour present their Provincetown International Film Festival award winning short film Famni, a heart warming story of a daughter who is so engrossed in her own life after a break up, that she doesn’t notice her mother is hiding the real reason behind her visit. Sandrine and Carmine tell us more about exploring this thought provoking topic further, working with cinematographer Léna Mill-Reuillard and producer Francois Bonneau to realise the film, and what they’ve both taken away from the creative process.
