The first time I heard Kae Tempest’s song ‘People’s Faces’, I rediscovered why I make documentaries. In the song, Kae sings: ‘I love faces.’ Yes, I am interested in people’s actions, processes, moods and faces. The places they live, which are marked by upheavals, and how people break away from historical dislocations. Filmically, this seems to me particularly appealing: uncovering memory and recording this act with the joy of looking. That is also to be found in my film. I love faces!
