interview planned. The role of the fairy to act like the white rabbit of Alice in Wonderland led the little girl into paradise.The fairy should transform as a camouflage dancer from a chair into a curtain and then into a paravan. She is the phantastic creature, the soul of the fabric who transforms our world into heaven. I even had to paint a whole ancestral gallery of the filmcrew. With the budget that was available for us we could make it in one day of filming action only. Why did you choose the widescreen format for this project? We wanted to create a cinematic look. You know fairytales don`t happen every day! For more than half a century women have been discouraged from getting behind the camera, however in the last decades there are signs that something is changing. What's your view on the future of women in cinema and animation?
I`m convinced what Leni Riefenstahl started will be continued. Being a director as a woman is still a challenge the boss of a big crew. On my part I prefer to cooperate with men as my producers. The director of photography, and a lot more they have different minds and the view of things. But it´s true they are mostly fair and views can be successfully achieved. Thanks for your time and thought, Julie. We wish you all the best with your career. What's next for Julie Boehm? Have you a particular film in mind? I recently made a parfume commercial with the dancing "Black Widow". Since the last two dancefilms I became aware that I will have to continue this interesting way. My next film will be a trailer of the "International Trickfilm Festival". Can you tell us about your experience at the WBF?
