Eddie Redmayne – Actor – The Theory Of Everything

FRED’s Chiara Nicoletti meets Eddie Redmayne on the occasion of the screening of THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING to the 32nd Edition of Torino Film Fest – Festa Mobile Section.

In the film , Eddie plays theoretical physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking, author of the famous A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME, which remained on the British Sunday Times best-sellers list for a record-breaking 237 weeks.

Redmayne talks about how he first met director James Marsh and how he was cast for the role after the two got into a very deep and cathartic conversation which spiraled our of a mix of caffeine and beer. Since Redmayne met Stephen Hawking only once – when they were about to start shooting – he could only prepare for the role by working with a choreographer to better learn how to portray the development of the Moto-Neuron disease – ALS and by talking and visiting many ALS patients and caregivers.

As the film was obviously not shot chronologically, Redmayne had to constantly switch from a different stage of the illness to another so one moment he was playing a perfectly standing and walking young man and in the next moment he was on a wheel chair barely moving his lips. Stephen Hawking approved of the film so much that he gave the production permission to use his voice (which has copyright on it) and as a prop for the film, he also provided the film production with his medal of honor medallion and his signed thesis.

Josephine Decker (Director)

Fred’s Chiara Nicoletti meets Josephine Decker, special guest on the WAVES – ONDE retrospective at the 32nd Torino Film Festival dedicated to her work.

Josephine Decker has been appointed as one of the America’s independent filmmakers to keep an eye on. In february 2014 she presented two of her films at the Berlinale Forum, Thou Wast Mild and Lovely and Butter on the latch. Her recent IFP screenings in New York were all sold out.

The secret to Decker’s success could certainly be the combination of various elements:

– Her films being character driven, instinctive and subjective

– The interweaving of various genres and themes: horror, thriller, melò, erotism,feminism, documentary and mockumentaries

– Her being a performer, artist, musician, actress and filmmaker

– the collaboration and work with Joe Swanberg and Ashley Connor

Josephine Decker also talks about Texas and how much her work was influenced by growing up in Dallas.

Johanna Hamilton – Filmmaker – 1971

FRED’s Matt Micucci meets Johanna Hamilton, whose documentary “1971” was screened at IDFA 2014. Johanna tells us about how she got access to information about the FBI break-in, as well as getting the heroic perpetrators to reveal their identity on camera for the very first time. She also tells us about her use or re-enactments and why she believes this story is very relevant to modern times.

“1971” was the year in which information about illegal surveillance came to light after a break-in at an FBI office. The perpetrators were never caught, but now for the first time in this film they open up to the camera and tell their story.
