Director’s note
Goodnight Sofia is the story of a voice lost forever. A voice full of life and projects. My father’s voice. The last memory I have of him, or at least the sharpest, is linked to Sofia and to his voice. It’s a small memory, but it’s the only one I have. A phone call, which lasted five or six minutes; I was passing through Sofia after a trip to Istanbul, he was home. Everything was normal, as usual. My father took his own life two months later. For a long time I asked myself how could I save him. Why I did not understand? For a long time I wasn’t able to look at pictures of him or to pronounce his name. I felt betrayed and abandoned. I went back to Sofia to look for his voice, in those streets that he had never seen. Far from home, far from everything. I started from the end to find him. The present, in the film, is represented by a lonely girl in a ghost town. The past is the recall of an imaginary childhood, almost magic, through my childhood, cinema’s childhood, Sofia’s childhood, and the childhood of other families far and lost. Goodnight Sofia is not a film about my father. Goodnight Sofia is a film for my father.

O filmu
Lahko noč, Sofija je zgodba o za vedno izgubljenem glasu. Glasu, polnem življenja in načrtov. Očetovem glasu. Moj zadnji ali vsaj najbolj oster spomin nanj je povezan s Sofijo in njegovim glasom. To je droben spomin, vendar je edini, ki ga imam. Telefonski pogovor, ki je trajal pet ali šest minut. Bil sem v Sofiji, na poti iz Istanbula, on je bil doma. Vse je bilo običajno in kot ponavadi. Moj oče si je dva meseca kasneje vzel življenje. Dolgo časa sem se spraševal, kako bi ga lahko rešil. Zakaj nisem razumel? Dolgo časa nisem mogel gledati njegovih slik ali izgovoriti njegovega imena. Počutil sem se izdanega in zapuščenega. Šel sem nazaj v Sofijo, da bi na ulicah mesta, ki ga oče ni nikoli videl, poiskal njegov glas. Daleč od doma, daleč od vsega. Iskati sem ga začel na koncu. V filmu sedanjost predstavlja osamljeno dekle v mestu duhov. Preteklost predstavlja spomin navideznega, skoraj magičnega otroštva, skozi moje lastno otroštvo, otroštvo filma, otroštvo mesta Sofija in otroštev iz drugih daljnih in izgubljenih družin. Lahko noč, Sofija ni film o mojem očetu, je film za mojega očeta.
