Transcript

00:00So, we are here with Farah Nabulsi for the movie The Teacher, which has been shown in Torino Film Festival.

00:09And congratulations for the movie, which we really loved.

00:13The Teacher is the title, and it's a story, among the other things, of a teacher.

00:20So, I would like to know which was the teacher in your real life, who you still remember,

00:28and who was really meaningful in your life, and why.

00:34Miss Reed, she was my English literature teacher, actually, growing up in London.

00:40And she had such an impact for me, my love of literature, my love of drama.

00:47She encouraged me in my writing.

00:50So, for me, she's somebody who left a big, big mark, and she believed in me, you know.

00:56She encouraged me, and she believed in me, which was, yeah, meaningful to me.

01:01Which age were you?

01:03Oh, between, I'd say, I had her for about five years, between 12 and, yeah, 12 and 16, let's say, four years.

01:14So, are you based in London?

01:16Yes.

01:16I'm a mother of five children, and you are a director, and you have been a broker of the stock market.

01:25So, you are a really strong woman, I would say.

01:29And where is this strength coming from?

01:31Wow.

01:38I think much of it comes from my upbringing.

01:43I've been very fortunate and privileged enough to have a supportive, loving family.

01:48The education that allows me to do these things, and I guess a drive, a sort of, I don't know, I don't know.

02:04I'd say maybe my belief in myself as well, that it's okay, it's okay to fall on your face, it doesn't matter.

02:18At the end, I've always had a very strong attitude that was like, we're all going to die, really.

02:23And I'd rather live a life that feels like I've, not accomplished, but that I'm, I can pursue things and not feel afraid if it doesn't work out.

02:36That's always been my attitude, to be honest.

02:39And the protagonist of your movie is a man, and there are also other characters, of course, Imogen Poots, also.

02:47She's one from United Nations.

02:50But I would like to know if you have ever thought about putting a woman in your next movie, as strong as this man, and as strong as you are.

03:01It's interesting.

03:02I am writing something right now, which is very focused on a female lead and a mother as well.

03:13So, yes, I'm in the process of that.

03:15And I've also written something that's not Palestine-related, but it is set in the late 1990s in the UK, in the finance world.

03:26It's a crime drama thriller, loosely based on an experience I had when I was an investment banker.

03:32And there is a very strong female lead protagonist in that as well.

03:36So that's very good to shoot it.

03:38Hopefully in the UK, yeah, it's still early days.

03:43I've written it.

03:44Now I need the strong producer.

03:47Good luck.
