In this episode, host Dr Pasquale Iannone looks back at some highlights from the 77th Edinburgh International Film Festival. Pasquale talks to writer-director Jack King about his film The Ceremony, the film that won EIFF's inaugural Sir Sean Connery Prize for Excellence in Feature Filmmaking. He also speaks to BAFTA-winning writer-director Daisy-May Hudson about her film Lollipop.
Pasquale offers some thoughts on two of EIFF's In Conversation events, the first featuring Gaspar Noé, the innovative, boundary-pushing director of Irreversible (2002) and Enter the Void (2009), the other featuring Oscar-winning film editor Thelma Schoonmaker, best known for her long collaboration with director Martin Scorsese on films such as Raging Bull (1980), Goodfellas (1990) and, most recently, Killers of the Flower Moon (2023)
