LO STORYTELLING DI FILMGOOD: THE TIMES UNQUIET FILM SERIES Bringing the World to Britain
Nel video di oggi del servizio di FILMGOOD sullo storytelling nell’audiovisual content, un ritratto affascinante di una corrispondente di guerra poco verosimile.
THE TIMES UNQUIET FILM SERIES Bringing the World to Britain
Regia di Liz Unna (Betsy Works, London)
“I’m incredibly curious. My mum would say I’m nosey. I want to see things for myself. And I’m really determined. Like there’s nowhere I haven’t got into. ‘No’ is like a starting-point for me. And I want to tell the stories of people who have no way of getting their own stories told. If I see something that’s really shocking that’s happening, I want people outside to know about it. And I want them to know about it because I hope that that will change.”
La stimata giornalista Christina Lamb, Foreign Affairs Correspondent del Sunday Times racconta la sua professione nella sesta puntata di The Times Unquiet Film Series, l’eccellente serie di corti creati dall’agenzia Grey London per mettere in risalto e celebrare l’impatto culturale del quotidiano The Times e del domenicale The Sunday Times.

“Most people in their right mind leave war - why am I going to where wars are? - But once I’m on the plane, then I’m thinking about the story.” Ormai più corrispondente di guerra che inviata all’estero, la celebre reporter spiega con understatement ed umiltà quello che la spinge a ripartire regolarmente per le zone di conflitto. “To me, often the real heroes or heroines in the war are the people who are still managing to educate and feed their children. That’s the sort of story I really want to tell much more than this ‘bang-bang’, if you like.”
Diretto da Liz Unna, già regista della prima puntata The Power of Words (vedere LO STORYTELLING del 3 luglio, leggi news), il filmato è un testimonianza diretta di un ‘talking head’, ma si permette una breve sezione ‘interpretativa’, introdotta con una geniale dissolvenza audio da una mitragliata nell’Afganistan a un bastoncino sfregato contro la recinzione di un giardino inglese. “I kept thinking about my family. It was going to be my son’s birthday that weekend, and I kept thinking about that as I ran.”
Con un aspetto lontano dall’immaginario del ‘war reporter’ descritto dal cinema, Christina Lamb ammette con disarmante onestà la sua dipendenza. “I hate that stereotype of the hard-drinking, drug-addicted correspondent that comes back and tells war stories in the bar. Having said that, it is addictive, I admit that. And I’ve had far more than my nine lives already. But yeah, as long as I have that curiosity and interest, I’ll keep going.”
