Personal experience By the creator Emine Emel Bal
"As a participant of Greenhouse I did not think that such useful it would be both for our projects and for our understanding about different aspects. I would say I am very happy about seeing filmmakers together whether they are Israeli- Palestenian-Turkish or from any other middle eastern countries.. Seeing them working together, discussing about the issues of cinema and life, made my mind clear; we need more spaces to understand each other, more collaboration, more trust, more facts and more attention even if we are wrong or right.
Of course our nationalities reflect our characters-behaviors and reflexes and as filmmakers whatever we do, we do it in a feeling of partiality, we are taking sides in our movies like we are taking sides in our lives. Bu I believe we can do it without fanaticism.
Cause cinema is an art where only humanity matters. "
