It's been a little over five years since Difret debuted at the Sundance Film Festival, kicking off a very successful festival run that included winning a Panorama Audience Award at the Berlin International Film Festival, but now director Zeresenay Mehari is back with a new feature, Sweetness in the Belly. While in Toronto for the movie's world premiere at TIFF 2019, Mehari swung by the Collider Lounge along with stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Kunal Nayyar. The trio talked about filming some of the movie in Ethiopia, the standout qualities of their characters, and also what makes a home a home, an idea that's addressed all throughout Sweetness in the Belly. You can catch the full conversation in this video!
