First Frames - Bonus - Interview with Ilie Mitaru
In this special bonus episode of Get Doc’d, we sit down with Ilie Mitaru, the director behind the evocative documentary First Frames. Ilie takes us deep into the creative and emotional journey of making a film that puts cameras—and storytelling power—into the hands of children navigating life in the aftermath of displacement and disaster.
We talk about the inspiration behind working with photographer Serbest Salih and his mobile darkroom, the decision to let the children lead the narrative, and the delicate balance of portraying trauma without overshadowing joy. Ilie shares powerful behind-the-scenes stories, ethical challenges, and the unexpected moments that shaped the film’s heart and soul.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about documentary filmmaking, working with young voices, and the transformative power of visual storytelling.
🎧 Tune in for an intimate look at the making of First Frames, and the filmmaker who trusted children to tell the story only they could.
