Oliver Laxe: 'Filmmakers are neurotics who crave love' – Director of 'Sirat' on Catalonia, Galicia and Spain

Oliver Laxe, director of the award-winning film 'Sirat,' recently gave an insightful interview discussing his experiences filming in Catalonia and Galicia. He highlighted the shared characteristics of these regions, describing them as "peripheral areas with unique sensitivities." Laxe stated, "A Galicia som més perifèrics, estem més llunyans d'Europa...", emphasizing their geographical and cultural distance from the European center. He also reflected on Spain's diverse cultural fabric, noting that "tot això és una mostra que Espanya és un estat que està fet de sensibilitats molt diferents." The interview underscores the importance of self-esteem and confidence, particularly for those working in less-centralized regions. Laxe's perspective offers a rich tapestry of cultural insights and artistic reflections.
