Oscar-nominated Spanish director Oliver Laxe opened up about the fear, vulnerability and self-doubt that undergird his work as a filmmaker, confessing in a deeply personal appearance at the Thessaloniki Film Festival that his career was born in part out of a “need to protect” himself.

“Many times I am afraid to express what I truly have inside of me. Sometimes, I end up thinking: ‘You make a film that maybe no one will watch, but you can count on becoming a better person through this process.’ And I take the leap,” he said.
