From Germany
Maybe It really is not appropriate to write about this, with the current political climate. But we are in Germany and we are loving it…. we do feel a bit away from the situation in Lebanon and Gaza, but the people and the suffering are in our minds. We ran into few Lebanese people who were informing the others about a demonstration tomorrow, and we found ourselves considering participating. I, as the team leader still have not approved, but we will sit down and discuss it as a team and decide about it democratically.
This probably will be a very clumsy post as I will need to go back to my team, who are sitting in a studio right now, attending the Spanish presentation. I can hear shouts of excitement and clapping from here.
We got here two days ago, to be shocked at the beauty of Muenster, it is the perfect time of the year, long days, green everywhere. And since our hostel is almost a 5 star hotel, where the rooms are spacious and clean and they over look a perfect scene… the flowing river! the food is lovely, the workshops are really interesting. The studio where we work is very vivid, it actually is an amazing mixture of ideas and colours and music and very funky people running around so full of life…… But What I love most is that my youngsters are dead tired and are in bed every night by 12:00!!! Yes they are the best team i had so far… I wont say more, because i dont want to jiks it. They are very excited that they wake up at 6:00 every morning to go and discover the city, since we have very busy schedule… where we stop at around 10 or 11 every night.
One of the most interesting things in this camp is that each one of the youngsters is participating in a completely different project, which means each one of them will have completely different experiences…. The one thing in common in all projects is they are learning the process of making a movie, how to use a camera and learning about all the work that is required in the editing rooms, where the right music is chosen and the right cuts have to be used and put together in order to make what we finally see as a movie on our TVs.
I have to go now…
