7R EP33: Comparing Emma Adaptations

A weekly film podcast that helps you have a more rewarding experience watching movies by connecting you to the best under-the-radar films from around the world so that you don’t have to watch all the movies to watch good movies that expand your cinematic horizons — both in content and form.

This is a podcast about those films, the joys and challenges of finding and watching those films, how filmmaking choices affect our experience of them,  and the people and places we discover through looking outside the mainstream and beyond the English language.

Our mission is to upend the canon to be more inclusive by spotlighting and diving deep into international and independent films by and about women, Indigenous People, LGBTQ+ people, and other marginalized groups. Find multiple episodes on the films of Kelly Reichardt, Céline Sciamma, Andrew Haigh, and Joachim Trier.
