Mascha Schilinski, a director, expresses her excitement and nervousness about screening her film 'Sound of Falling' at the 78th Cannes International Film Festival. Her film, which explores the intertwined stories of four generations of women on a farm, marks a significant achievement as she is the only German director in the main competition this year. This follows a notable absence of German directors in major festival slots since Maren Ade's 'Toni Erdmann' in 2016. Other German films are present, but Schilinski's representation is particularly significant.
"As we went through the rooms of the farmhouse, we could sense the centuries. It brought up a question I've had since childhood."
"I'm very nervous, but I'm insanely happy. The nervousness outweighs that. This is a filmmaker's dream!"
