He also revealed that there have friends living in Beijing, bringing his own works from China's DVD, which makes him very happy.
Africa can not find fault with
LOS ANGELES: this movie a bit like Ebichabang (Apichatpong Weerasethakul) works, you are not under his influence?
Uli Xu - Kelei: he is a person I admired the film, I have seen all his movies. We have similar personal experience where his parents are doctors, me too.
When I was making the film will be like the Europeans, as a more rational approach, he is limited by the influence of religion.
LOS ANGELES: The film is about non-medical assistance to the story, you support in Africa for European doctors what kind of attitude?
Uli Xu - Ke Lei: the amount of money and manpower into Africa to good intentions, but in fact not so simple. We can not find fault in Africa the same as the elders, Africa also has many academic professionals, but also have their own doctor. African independence 15 years ago, the whole or positive development. We want to re-evaluate the current situation, perhaps better Africans make their own decisions.
Memorable childhood legend
LOS ANGELES: how do you show those jungle movies, what did you do before shooting preparations?
Uli Xu - Ke Lei: I grew up in Zaire, a child living in Africa for a long time,nhl hockey, that small village there is a river, then to my brother and I together, we made a piece of wood boat, and I the river is very emotional, when it will jump to see the river swimming. My parents in my filming work for the hospital.
LOS ANGELES: this film is that you were young hippo emerging experience?
Uli Xu - Ke Lei: I was a kid heard many people say the village was turned into a hippo, my father sailed our little boat even went to the back of the hippopotamus, he said it is not dangerous. After we left there for years, I heard an American medical students when they were swimming in the river hippopotamus killed, this is an unforgettable experience.
Interestingly, at the Berlin Film Festival I met a girl a reporter, she also grew up the place, when she witnessed the scene killed the students.
LOS ANGELES: Film for the great performance of the night, you and the photographer is how to communicate?
Uli Xu - Ke Lei: I know for a long time photographer and I, each film is with him. We want to show the night was very dark, black to only one source, is the second actor Alex wearing the searchlight, as if the one-eyed beasts. I have childhood memories of Africa is black, lights everywhere in Europe, Africa did not. When we play hide and seek, when we lay on the grass, nobody will find out, we should hide behind his car in Europe can, there are no moon.
LOS ANGELES: The film is shot using digital equipment, it?
Uli Xu - Ke Lei: Yes, we use the RedOne camera. Now the technology getting better and better, with the high cost of film making, the use of digital equipment, then I do not have to consider making a few, will NG, shot a 20,30 times no problem,vibram five fingers, I believe that as technology development, and future movies will be better.
In Beijing and also my DVD sales
LOS ANGELES: how much the cost of the film, several works before the sale in the international market, how?
Uli Xu - Ke Lei: I am not a producer, I am only responsible for making movies, filming in Africa, but I would say not cheap, but the level of film production in the European point of view, the film cost is not high. My first film should be sold to South Korea, the second film released in France, and the specific I do not know too much. But my friend had brought me in Beijing, the movie DVD, the film was sold in a DVD,insanity dvd, I started very happy, but then opened the back of the DVD packaging, found above the written down for some online critics, says : this movie boring, do not look (laughs).
LOS ANGELES: This film why so many Chinese elements, so the design you are interested in you, or a fact?
Uli Xu - Ke Lei: The fact is that all over the world are Chinese, they go to Africa. That scarf was previously imported from the Netherlands is now imported from China. Capital across Africa there are many Chinese restaurants, this change is good.
LOS ANGELES: The film shot in a caesarean section, why so intuitive performance.
Uli Xu - Kelei: the role of the maternal is the real, but we are done with a special effects picture of caesarean section. That hospital is where my father 20 years ago, the hospital, I came to the hospital that has no running water, equipment or very old, as if this place is still as before, so I was shocked, probably shot that gave me inspiration for the film.
LOS ANGELES: But some of the audience for such a lens will feel uncomfortable.
Uli Xu - Ke Lei: I do not want to make the audience uncomfortable, I just want them to feel shock. In this art piece, the caesarean section is equivalent to the action inside the commercial film a play. I like that a turning point in the film, the second male lead Alex found himself does not belong to the local time.
LOS ANGELES: the movie there in front of the lens urine bottles, why schedule the plot.
Uli Xu - Ke Lei: I second the film Alex is a French black protagonist, but he was the first visit to Africa, and found to be not just an ethnic differences, has been a cultural and economic difference, so he could not accept anywhere urinate.
