Lights, camera, editing! 🎬 Polish filmmaker Rafał Listopad, a juror at the 12th Silk Road International Film Festival, just dropped some serious wisdom about the magic behind movie-making. In a chat with CGTN, he compared crafting films to giving birth—three times over.
💡 First, the screenplay. Then, the shoot. But the real magic? "It’s in the editing room," Listopad says. That’s where raw footage becomes a story with soul—like turning a TikTok draft into a viral masterpiece. ✨
Fun fact: His love for cinema started with Hong Kong legend Wong Kar-wai. "His films felt like discovering a new galaxy," he gushed, crediting Wong’s dreamy visuals and moody beats for shaping his own style. 🌌
For aspiring Spielbergs? Listopad’s advice is simple: Edit fearlessly. Chop scenes, rearrange timelines, and let the story evolve—because even the best scripts get glow-ups in post-production. 💻🎞️
