The Making of Justice - Sarah Vanhee (film)

(NL)The Making of Justice is een film over zeven gevangenen die samen met Sarah Vanhee een misdaadfilm schrijven. Net zoals het hoofdpersonage in de film die ze verzinnen, zijn ze allen schuldig aan moord. De plot baseren ze op eigen ervaringen, ideeën en dromen, terwijl ze discussiëren over motieven, gevangenschap en re-integratie. Gebruiken ze fictie om hun eigen situatie te bevestigen, te verdedigen, te veranderen of er net aan te ontsnappen?

Sarah Vanhee zoomt in deze film in op de scheefgegroeide verhouding tussen gerechtigheid en rechtvaardigheid.

(ENG)The Making of Justice is a movie about seven prisoners working on the scenario for a crime film together with SarahVanhee. Like the main character in the film they are making up, they are all guilty of murder. To shape the story, they drawon their own experiences, ideas and desires.

We, the viewers, can only guess whether they are using fiction as a means ofconfirming, transcending or transforming their presentsituation. In the course of the film they discuss criminality asa parallel reality, what the nature of justice is, and what a society would be like if it was oriented towards healing rather than retribution. ‘The justice system is not synonymous with justice itself. The justice system means the application of rules, but justice is a human capacity’, says one of the men. The image of ‘the criminal’ is always elusive, both in terms of form (because the lens always remains out of focus) and content, because the authors and their character appear first as people and only then as offenders.
