In our first episode, we talk about a peaceful protest that was met with violence by the authorities, a destroyed cultural center and a web series that caused social media backlash. Then, we speak with Sverre Pedersen, a Norwegian filmmaker, who is on the board of the European Filmmaker's Association. We chat about his body of work, about the social issues surrounding filmmaking, the changes occurring in the industry and the effects of COVID-19 on artists' work.
