Age did not keep Yo and Anna apart — there was a nearly 50 year gap between them when they first met. Death would not separate them either; after Yo's passing, Anna reconstructed "a magical space where Yo's stories unfold, and their relationship continues." Thus we enter the world of YO (Love is a Rebellious Bird), the lone documentary in Berlinale Competition.
"As the film blurs memory, time and invention," notes a description, "it also reveals the power of artistic creation to channel--and share--grief and love." In conversation with Deadline's Matt Carey, filmmakers Anna Fitch and Banker White explore their collaboration and the process of illuminating the enduring power of friendship.
