“Families like ours”, interview with showrunner Thomas Vinterberg and actress Amaryllis August

Interview during the 81st edition of Venice International Film Festival with Thomas Vinterberg, showrunner of the series “Families like ours”, and actress Amaryllis August. The production, out of competition in the Series section, tells how the Danish Goverment decides to evacuate the whole country because of the risk of a great flood. In that context, a family tries to make the right decissions.

In their interview with FRED Film Radio, our guests told us that this is the first time of Amaryllis August in front of a camera. The actress -daughter of the director Bille August- was selected in a casting process by Vinterberg, who conceived the first idea for the series 6 years ago, during an afternoon of boredom.

“Families like ours” reunites the Academy Award winner –with “Another round”– with actress Paprika Steen, 25 years after “Celebration“. The series deals with the topics of climate change, immigration and the moral debate that every individual must face in front of such a lifetime crisis.
