Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival brings you "Meet the Filmmakers" episode “That Burning House”. Interview with the director Yin-chuan Tsai, interviewer Nikolaj Nikitin.
Come and step into the conversation and uncover the secrets behind these burning questions:
1. Why did Yin-chuan choose to build a story about a social issue?
2. How were young actors prepared for tough scenes in the film?
3. What did the preparation of adult actors look like?
Ask no more—this interview spills the answers you didn’t even know you were chasing.
The Critics' Picks Competition film “That Burning House” is a raw, emotional Taiwanese drama that explores a children's home where abandoned kids face violence, abuse, and broken trust, forcing them to fight to break the cycle of darkness. The film, which has its World Premiere at PÖFF, is directed and written by Yin-chuan Tsai, a Taiwanese filmmaker who previously worked as a social worker – an experience that inspired the film's cohesive and compelling interlinked stories.

Tallinna Pimedate Ööde filmifestival toob teieni saate “Meet the filmmakers”, peaosas film “Leekiv maja”. Intervjuu filmi režissööri Yin-chuan Tsai-ga, intervjueeris Nikolaj Nikitin.
Kuula kaasa ja saa vastused nendele põletavatele küsimustele:
1. Miks otsustas Yin-chuan luua loo sotsiaalsest probleemist?
2. Kuidas valmistati noori näitlejaid filmis rasketeks stseenideks ette?
3. Milline nägi välja täiskasvanud näitlejate ettevalmistus?
Tundub põnev? Ära muretse, vastused pole üldse kaugel.
Kriitikute valiku programmi film “Leekiv maja” on toores, emotsionaalne Taiwani draama, mis uurib lastekodu, kus hüljatud lapsed seisavad silmitsi vägivalla, kuritarvitamise ja murtud usaldusega, sundides neid võitlema, et murda pimeduse nõiaring. Filmi maailmaesilinastus toimub PÖFFil ning selle režissöör ja stsenarist on Yin-chuan Tsai, Taiwani filmitegija, kes töötas varem sotsiaaltöötajana – kogemus, mis inspireeris filmi sidusaid ja kaasahaaravaid omavahel põimunud lugusid.
