Film is subjective, and we must be careful with that. The kinds of films I love are those that observe, and I give possibility for people to talk. No need for me to tell people what to think - even when I make a film like 'S-21.' It's only one point of view. It's still a film; it's not a tribunal.

'The Missing Picture' is about my story and my parents. Before this film, I never said 'I' in a film, so it is very personal.
