From War Zones to Film Sets with Daniel Carsenty - Ep #174

July 23, 2024 • Leslie LaPage

Daniel Carsenty:

Berlinale Talents alumni Daniel Carsenty wrote and directed the thriller 'After Spring Comes Fall' in 2015. It won the award for Best Feature at the Zsigmond Vilmos Festival.

His second film, 'The Devil's Drivers', a documentary about a Bedouin smuggler, premiered at TIFF in 2021, won the Special Jury Award at the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival, and was nominated by the Cinema for Peace Foundation for Best Documentary.

A graduate of the American Film Institute directing program, Daniel came to filmmaking after working as a TV journalist for ARTE and BBC in zones of conflict. His films, both fictional and documentary, examine the origins of violence, reflect on intergenerational trauma, and explore the possibilities of forgiveness. His work has taught him how to discover both compassion and humanity under the most difficult circumstances.
