Berger was talking in a joint Venice masterclass with Canadian director Philippe Fardeau , organized by the festival’s industry-focused Venice Production Bridge. The German director also spoke in sympathy for film professionals being impacted collaterally by the strikes as productions are put on hold.
“To me, it’s mainly about the people who now, the grips, the electricians, who are not able to work and need to continue working. I hope we can resolve it soon,” he added. “Philippe and I are going to be fine. I am sure Margot Robbie is going to be fine if she doesn’t work three months… even the prop rental houses are suffering right now.” Berger and Fardeau also shared their thoughts about the future of feature film in a multi-platform world. “It’s always that big question that no one really can answer and my anxiety towards the future cinema, I can’t let that get in the way of creating my next film.” said Fardeau. “What I know is that literature and theatre has been around for 2,000 years. So those are probably okay. And what we’re really talking about is format and where we look at films.”“He said that wonderful sentence that his anxiety about the state of cinema is not going to keep him from making his next one. There’s going to be a ton of filmmakers who have exactly urge,” he said.
