KATRINA

I am convinced that cinema is the only way to make people aware that to live together in peace it's not a dream but something possible if each one do the first step. Without taking care of however people's faith, religion, view, culture, ideology, ethnical group, or from where they are.

I have a dream : " Peace all around the world !"

Concerning the short GAB my note of intent :

"Around me we reproved (blamed) the lie, but we fled carefully the truth." Simone de Beauvoir - French novelist & philosopher

Even if this beautiful quote by Simone de Beauvoir could perfectly sum up the theme addressed in Gab, we must admit that the film goes much further.

Nowadays, society, consciously or otherwise, is accustomed, chained up with denial. The reason is perhaps that it is more pleasant to evade one's responsibilities by ignoring the sources of a problem than to assume its consequences.

Being aware of a discomfort may not help to avoid the consequences but can avoid the worst.

Gab exposes a problem in those days, terrorism, try to treat it philosophically while taking into account the different points of view that result.

On the one hand, there is the vision of a society out of the problem, on the other the cry of the broken, and at the center the victim, society as a whole.

When dealing with this kind of theme, you have to know how to jostle, apologize and reconcile.

By providing eloquent examples, whatever his point of view, we push the public to think, and in fact we must provide some elements of response. Our proposals must be based on universal values such as the tree of life. The peculiarity of this symbol is that it is common to all convictions.

In the end this mixture of values and reflections must lead to a balance, a conclusion that should make everyone agree.

Gab is a colorful film and to appreciate it must put aside all the preconceived ideas that everyone, whatever his point of view, could have. The challenge was great, hoping that the result would be the same.
