Julia
Zahar
Trained as a screenwriter, Julia started out writing fiction. She soon realized that what drives her in cinema is to look at the world through human adventures rooted in reality.
In 2019, she will move to Quebec to study documentary filmmaking techniques at EMCV.
In the summer of 2020, a serious event upset her family. It becomes the subject of her first short film, Sœurs.
With Pour rien nos mondes, Julia takes the time and distance to develop this first raw gesture into a longer, more ambitious form.
Soeurs
At the age of 22, while in India to study yoga, my little sister Elena was rushed to the hospital. She suffered a violent psychotic attack after being held captive by a man for several days.
I can feel her mind exploding from miles away. I have to go get her. Bring her home.
The film delves into the heart of an intimate exploration of sisterhood, documenting the slow reconstruction of a young woman victimized by one of those all-too-common stories before it is forgotten.
