Women and Hollywood interview
Hannaleena Hauru was interview for “Women and Hollywood” by Kara Headly as part of the US Premiere at SXSW in March 2021.
“As a writer-director I felt [as if I was] always circling around my main themes: romantic love, sexuality, and intimacy, but never really hitting the core. For me, films filter real topics behind a layer of fiction. I’ve seen it in my colleagues’ auto-biographical work as well: when I’ve heard the original story and emotions behind their films, it’s always way more interesting and relatable than what they have ended up making in fiction.”
