Some kind of bond

Some Kind Of Bond is a film about a cemetery: a quiet and lonely place filled with life and memories. We observe the casual and the diligent visitors; we talk with them about their thoughts on death, loss and grief. Some of them decide to invite us to their homes and together we go on an emotional journey through different personal experiences: the loss of a child, a grandparent and a mother. Some Kind Of Bond combines both observational and participatory approach as it is the results of my continuous research for my voice as a documentary filmmaker. Making documentaries to me is about building a relationship with the contributors and then work together towards an original result. It is important to me that the contributor takes an active part in the making of the film and uses the filming process as some kind of therapeutic experience. Thanks to this project, I got to know the stories of the people living in the same village I have lived in for 20 years and that I knew nothing about. This film brought me closer to my hometown and my origins, to a place I have never felt like home until I met its people in the place where they are most vulnerable.
