I didn't know how I was going to deal with 'Disobedience' because it takes place in such a specific and often secretive world.

When you're filming, you're blind. But if you follow what really moves you, then you operate from a place of hope: maybe that the story you're telling will resonate with whatever the world will have become when the film is ready to be born.

Fashion is totally political, the icon of a political system.

In order to make a film, you have to operate on many different levels, making all these different forms of expression converse, and so I just followed that intuition.
