In this debut by Aneta Lesnikovska, who originally came from Macedonia
but now lives in Holland, reality is based on fiction and vice versa.
The director translates her own life and that of her friends to a
fictional situation. She lies to her friends that she has found foreign
producers who are willing to finance the film. They have to wait for the
Danish producers, who never come. In the meantime, she keeps
researching and asks all her friends to tell their life stories. The
whole process is filmed and what was once intended as preparation turns
into the film itself. The distinction between fiction and reality is
impossible to define in the end.
Does It Hurt? is the first Balkan
film shot according to the rules of Dogma, made to mark the 10th
anniversary of the Dogma manifesto. And maybe even more than a formal
Dogma drama, Does It Hurt? is a personal, refreshing and amusing
document about the film maker and her friends.
Directed by Aneta
Lesnikovska (Macedonia / The Netherlands / Kosovo , 2007) , screened at
