Art More Than Ever Podcast S1E3 - Till Schauder

Host Erica Heilman interviews documentary filmmaker Till Schauder, a faculty member with VCFA's MFA in Film program. Till, who has directed a number of documentaries including THE IRAN JOB, talks about his 2017 film WHEN GOD SLEEPS. In this in-depth interview, Till discusses the process of creating documentary films and how he handles working with challenging subjects. WHEN GOD SLEEPS follows Iranian musician Shahin Najafi, who is forced into hiding after hardline Iranian clerics issue a fatwa for his death, incensed by a rap song that focuses on the oppression of women and human rights abuses. Risking his life every time he steps on a stage, Shahin refuses to stop performing. whengodsleepsfilm.com
