Lisa Bierwirth for KVIFF.TV: I didn’t want to tell my own mother’s story.

Le Prince by Lisa Bierwirth, centred on a romance between a white German art curator and a Congolese immigrant with big plans, is among the films competing for the Crystal Globe at KVIFF.
In an interview before the world premiere of her feature debut, the German director explains how a situation in her own family inspired the powerful, human drama and discusses the qualities her two leads bring to the film.
