"Refugee" - The Oscar Shortlisted Short Film - Shot on VENICE by Tobias Schliessler, ASC - Part 2

The first part of this story can be seen here: "Refugee" - The Oscar Shortlisted Short Film - Shot on VENICE by Tobias Schliessler, ASC - Part 1 Our conversation with Tobias Schliessler, ASC continues below. “Refugee” Synopsis Written and Directed by Brandt Andersen (IMDB) and photographed by Tobias Schliessler, ASC (IMDB), Refugee is the story of Amira (Yasmine Al Massri), a pediatric surgeon in the Syrian city of Aleppo. Amira works daily to save children from death’s door — so much so that she has become neglectful of her own daughter, Rasha (Massa Daoud). When the war that has largely spared them finally strikes close to home, Amira and Rasha suddenly find themselves fleeing for their lives — forced into a dangerous journey during which they must heal their relationship and draw close even as they leave their homeland behind forever. Refugee earlier this year was Oscar shortlisted for Best Live Action Short Film. This was Andersen’s first film as director, but Andersen’s credits as a producer include such films as American Made (2017), Martin Scorsese’s Silence (2016), Garry Marshall’s Mother’s Day (2016), Everest (2015), Lone Survivor (2013) and Escape Plan (2013). DP Schliessler is a frequent collaborator of directors Peter Berg and Bill Condon, and his credits include such hits as Condon’s Beauty and the Beast (2017) and the Oscar-winning Dreamgirls (2006), as well as Berg’s Lone Survivor (2013), Hancock (2008) and Friday Night Lights (2004).
