07:40That, you came next to me in an фильм,
07:42Tell me.
07:44It was amazing.
07:46I was also realized to tell this.
07:48You may take a tiny pictureicar.
07:50Yeah.
07:50Do you know what caused us?
07:52We would like to compare either.
07:54authentically.
07:56They would love to come with me,
07:58so that the other ones were linked together.
08:01But in Kashmir's time,
08:03When the obligation happened, people couldn't do a little bit of a commute.
08:08If you go a kilometer far away, there was constant wiring.
08:13There was no need to go to private vehicles.
08:16The essential workers, doctors were going to go to ambulances.
08:25They were taking their vehicles.
08:28When the time comes and people experience their experiences,
08:36I think there were a lot of things that they wanted to speak to the world at large.
08:43I think that my contributors, characters in this book,
08:49there was an urgency for people to know what is happening in Kashmir.
08:57What is happening in Kashmir?
08:59Yes, I know.
09:00There are many people who have experienced the same thing.
09:03They know that we are not alone in this experience.
09:06From 1989 to 2020, Kashmir, there are many stories in Kashmir.
09:12There are many stories in Kashmir.
09:14There are many stories in Kashmir.
09:17Why did you choose love?
09:20And then, this came to mind, how do you feel?
09:24Yes.
09:25Because, as I said before, I didn't read such stories.
09:30Why does anyone do anything creative?
09:34When you think there is a missing thing.
09:38When you think there is something in the world,
09:41the story of a person,
09:43it has to be a different story of a person.
09:44I thought that I have to tell them,
09:46but I didn't have to tell them about it.
09:47I thought that it was interesting.
09:48I didn't have to read them and understand them.
09:50I thought that I chose this subject.
09:53When you put the title in Kashmir,
09:55what was your mind?
09:57I always thought that his name was Lol Kashni and at the end I am very thankful that I didn't have to change.
10:05Because most authors give titles in the book and they compile them.
10:10They write stories, fiction or comics.
10:14They give titles and then they give titles.
10:17But you had the title first. How did you do that?
10:19I think that if you give such a name, people remember it.
10:26I think that you are talking about the character.
10:31You are saying that your name is Lol Kashni.
10:34At the beginning, I had never thought that it would be a book.
10:40I was looking at it as a memory project.
10:43So I thought that it should be a name.
10:46Because what are you telling?
10:47When you explain it, it should be tangible.
10:51Interestingly, a few years later, when I was writing a book and a publisher and everything was happening,
10:59I found a new person who knew who I was.
11:03Because of the project.
11:05Because of Lol Kashni.
11:06And I didn't know them.
11:09I was talking about the name,
11:10the name of the triangle has been kept.
11:11So it's a little bit different.
11:12It's a bit different.
11:13So that's why I thought that name was first.
11:16That book was made because I think in the interview,
11:23I think I talked about 60-70 people.
11:28I will talk about Alol Kashmir.
11:31Is there something like that?
11:35Yes.
11:36Where will you go?
11:38It will be less than 3 or 4.
11:41I will talk about it.
11:45There are some people who I have known before.
11:49I have never met them.
11:51But I will not have time for the interview.
11:55I will not have time for the interview.
11:58I will not have time for the interview.
12:03How are people watching this video?
12:08It is good.
12:10There is an interesting response.
12:12The Kashmiri people often send me messages.
12:17They often relate to the stories.
12:23They often send me messages.
12:25They often send me messages.
12:27They often send me messages.
12:29They often send me messages.
12:31Which is true, right?
12:33Because Kashmir's depiction in general media and films,
12:38is a lot of black and white.
12:41There are also real people who love and love.
12:47and you know, go on.
12:49They all don't show the same.
12:52So, Kashmir's black and white and dichotomy.
12:57I wanted to break these stories.
12:59I wanted to break these stories.
13:01Kashmir's big authors.
13:03Or the big authors of Kashmir's big authors.
13:06I wanted to explain something.
13:07I wanted to ask them,
13:08And I have to ask them.
13:10I thought that you would be better at this book?
13:16What you wanted to share then?
13:17Or did you do better at this book?
13:19I am so happy with this book.
13:21I think this is a complete piece of work for me.
13:27Of course, there is a story that can happen and doesn't happen.
13:31Because when you are interviewing real people,
13:37there will never be someone who doesn't get the story or the person who doesn't get the story.
13:44Maybe with time periods or age groups.
13:48But if you look at the book as a whole,
13:55I think it is a complete piece of work.
13:58What I wanted to say is that I have achieved.
14:02In this book, there will be a story that has been a surprise for you.
14:08I mean, it's not a surprise.
14:14But…
14:15Is it difficult to think?
14:17Yes.
14:19Yes.
14:20There is a story that you will know.
14:24There are a lot of people from Pakistan and Pakistan and Kashmir and Kashmir,
14:31who have Kashmir and Kashmir,
14:33who have married to them.
14:34Then they came back to the Rehabilitation Policy.
14:36And they didn't get the citizenship.
14:39Not yet, they have not.
14:43They have 10-15 years and they have not got citizenship.
14:45They have not even got their children.
14:46And they are not here.
14:48They are not here.
14:49But they are here.
14:50They are here.
14:51Yes.
14:52It was about 4-5 years ago, and I had a story in this book, because I thought that it was a matter of truth that many people don't talk about it in Kashmir.
15:07So when I interviewed him and his story, it was a lot of heart-breaking, and my heart was filled with it.
15:19You had your career as a script supervisor.
15:26Which film was it?
15:28Script supervision?
15:30The first film I had done was a Tibetan film called The Sweet Requiem.
15:38Ritu and Tenzing are a married couple.
15:43It was a short film.
15:45No, no, it's a feature film.
15:47The two are Indian and the Tenzing are Tibetan.
15:50The Tibetan community has a lot of refugees.
15:54They make a lot of films as a couple.
15:59They also have a film festival.
16:01The Sweet Requiem was my first feature film.
16:07I had a script supervisor.
16:09In the script supervision, you have to check the dialogue.
16:13I didn't come to Tibetan.
16:15I was a person who was helping me.
16:18I started with that film.
16:20After that, I made a film film.
16:23There was a film in Kashmir.
16:27After that film, I started writing.
16:31I got into screenwriting.
16:33I mainly do screenwriting and direct.
16:37I have a short film.
16:38Do you have any direction for future films?
16:40No, it's not a feature film.
16:42But I have a short film called Bad Egg.
16:45I did write, direct and produce all of them.
16:50In 2022, it was premiered in Germany.
16:56It won a lot of awards.
16:58I think it was a good festival.
17:02So, yeah.
17:03So, yeah.
17:04Screenwriter and author are two different things.
17:08Yes.
17:09So, how much has helped you as a writer and author?
17:13Or the stories of you?
17:15I think that screenwriting and film making,
17:20generally, has helped me at the interview level.
17:25Because I have to ask questions.
17:27Because it is visualized.
17:28When I talk with someone,
17:30and people like me,
17:32I have to ask questions.
17:34I have to ask questions.
17:35So, my questions is not the only thing is the only thing.
17:37How much is it difficult to put yourself into a character?
17:40How much is it difficult?
17:41The film maker, author.
17:43The film maker and the screenwriter.
17:44The film maker and the screenwriter are kind of similar areas.
17:50But I think it's OK.
17:55I enjoy it.
17:56I enjoy it.
17:57Do you have any project that you want to do in the future, or do you want to work in the future or do you want to work in the future?
18:26Do you want to work in the future or do you want to work in the future or do you want to work in the future?
