Yesterday’s special press event for upcoming Swedish films and documentaries at the Swedish Film Institute was heavily attended – and Love During Wartime, presented there also, received considerable attention. Swedish daily newspaper Svenska Dagbladet (SvD) picked up on director Gabriella Bier’s strong personal connection to the subject. Although being both Jewish and a documentary filmmaker, Bier at first actually tried to distance herself work-wise from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but in the end found herself unable to do so.
Daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter (DN), meanwhile, writes about the difficulties the team had at first in trying to find a suitable couple that wasn’t faced by the daunting prospect of so publicly confronting their problems head-on. This is one of the reasons it took nine (!) years to complete the film.
Finally, DagensETC has a big interview with Bier, where she tells about her view on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the process of creating the documentary.
