Interview: Dominic Yarabe – Entre le Feu et le Clair de Lune (2025 Sundance Short)

Flush with this overall sense that story emerges from the psyche and the shadows, storytelling is passed down for fear of being lost in Entre le Feu et le Clair de Lune – a short highly personal and imaginative docu feature that is transcendent, deconstructed and full of curiosity. Interdisciplinary artist, nonfiction filmmaker and researcher (pursuing her MFA in the Documentary Film and Video program at Stanford), Dominic Yarabe digs into her father’s childhood continuing the story of the book he never finished about a war he experienced as a child. I had the opportunity to sit down with Dominic while in Park City to discuss the genesis of this project, the construction and deconstruction of story and how being on location in the village in Côte d’Ivoire might have informed some of her creative choices.
