but since there are so many interesting future filmmakers to talk to, Kelaamo ended up doing a group interview. Everyone asked a fellow participant a question and answered a question asked by someone else.
We talked with filmmaker Erol Mintaş, Founder and Artistic Director of AMPI, and Fiona Musanga and Shahi Derky, who are both alumni of AMPI.
Based in Helsinki, the Academy of Moving People and Images was founded by the filmmaker Erol Mintaş.
