NZIFF Q&A - Luit Bieringa The HeART of the Matter

NZIFF Q&A - Luit Bieringa The HeART of the Matter 

My film is .the heART of the matter and it's a an educational journey focussing on the impact of creative teaching through the arts

The reason I made this film is: because we ( Director and producer ) have been working for years to put this unique piece of educational history before the public 

What's the one moment that stands out in your film and why?
Geez….  the utter dedication and commitment of the many “players” to the needs and brilliance of our children

What was the hardest thing about completing your film?
Leaving so many excellent anecdotes and stories on the cutting floor!

What's the most satisfying thing about your film? 

To, at last, airing some critical viewpoints before an informed audience unencumbered by the shallowness of our other visual media.

What's been the one piece of feedback from either peers or audiences that has struck you the most and why? 

People flocking to book seats ( at this point of time) and their overbidding interest in issues to do with children’s education. 

What's next on the cards for you? 

Filing away safely all the stuff that wasn’t used. Newly discovered and sound and moving image footage.
