Niam Itani (1) - Before the Venice Film Festival

Niam Itani Niam Itani (also Etany) is the only woman director among the ten finalists in YouTube’s short film competition,  Your Film Festival , with her Super.Full . I followed her Your Film Festival campaign for votes, admired its focus and intensity and was delighted when she reached the final. I’m always curious when just one woman filmmaker is successful within a group of successful men, so I wondered what factors affected  Niam's  achievement, asked her for an interview, and was thrilled when she said yes.  And then, like  Super.Full ., Niam's generous responses to my questions made me think. And touched my heart.
