Johanna, what inspired you to delve into Vietnam’s plastic pollution issue for your documentary Constant Dripping Hollows Out The Stone?
When making a film in a foreign culture, it is important to find a topic that I can understand and relate to. Plastic pollution is a topic that affects us all, no matter where we live, and I am sensitive to the issue of overconsumption. 另外, I was also touched by the vision of ReForm Plastic, an organization operating in Da Nang, to find ways to produce something valuable from unusable waste.
Can you discuss any memorable moments – 例如, specific individuals or experiences from the filmmaking process that inspired you?
When making a film in a foreign culture, it is easy to be manipulated by other people’s stories about how one thing or another works in a culture they are more familiar with than you. 然而, I learned that as a film director, I must have the time and opportunity to independently observe and interact with the people of this culture. The biggest lesson was that we would never have had the courage to ask Mr. Pham Minh Tâm, our main character, to participate in the film if we had not dared to go to search for the truth ourselves.
How do you think Constant Dripping Hollows Out The Stone contributes to the broader conversation around environmental activism and the role of individuals in creating change?
I believe that change always comes from changing individual habits, and I hope that the viewers of the film will find inspiration to reflect on their consumption patterns – whether they consume excessively or consume as needed. I also hope that viewers will understand the importance of skillful waste management on an individual level. 最後, I believe that this film creates an understanding that people who deal with waste management on a daily basis have an important role in helping the environment and that their job is necessary and dignified.
And finally what advice do you have for individuals looking to make a difference in environmental conservation, inspired by your film?
正如我之前所說的, change always starts with yourself. When you have changed yourself, only then can you start inspiring the community around you.
Thank you Johanna!
