Silence Of The Sea (Director's Statement)
 

"Silence Of The Sea is the suppressed agony of a man who has lost his homeland. I met this man during a trip. He was sitting on a street on the sidewalk, looking with a dazed expression at the passersby. He turned his gaze towards me as I walked up to him. His eyes were filled with tears, and in the expression on his face was the question, what am I doing here? I had no answer, but I kept thinking about this question, and finally wrote the outline for a story, which eventually materialized in the form of the movie Silence of the Sea."

 Silence Of The Sea (Producer's Statement)
 

"Silence Of The Sea is a metaphoric film that conveys a poetic look at people who have left their homeland and are unable to go back, as well as those who want to leave but cannot."
