PODCAST| Angelo Acerbi interviews Jasper Hokken, jury member at the SeeYouSound Festival.

Jasper Hokken talks about his role in the Soundies Videoclip Competition at SeeYouSound and the criteria followed to perform this duty (and his idea of a good videoclip). Then we moved our talk to documentary, specifically documentary shorts, and the whole concept of duration and content, an issue that is never talked about enough…

PODCAST| David Martos interviews Rupert Everett, actor of the film The Happy Prince. 

Talking about the existence of a European film industry, Rupert Everett remembers the productions he’s been part of and why he thinks that The Happy Prince, his directorial debut, is quite a European one. The actor talks about his experience directing his peers in a set, too.

The Happy Prince: The untold story of the last days in the tragic times of Oscar Wilde, a person who observes his own failure with ironic distance and regards the difficulties that beset his life with detachment and humor.

PODCAST| Sarah Bradbury interviews Gael Garcia Bernal, actor of the film The Accused.

We sat down with Gael Garcia Bernal in the margins of Marrakech Film Festival to discuss Gonzalo Tobal’s film The Accused, why Mexican filmmakers have dominated our screens over the last decade and why many of the characters he has played have a political edge to them. He also spoke about his latest directing project.

The Accused: For two years, Dolores has been awaiting trial for the murder of her best friend. The evidence against her is squarely challenged by the legal experts around her, but the waiting game is threatening to tear Dolores and her family to pieces.

PODCAST| Sarah Bradbury interviews Viggo Mortensen, actor of the film Green Book.

Viggo Mortensen told us why he wanted to be involved with the film Green Book, how we worked to bring out the humour in his character and the story, particular through his on-screen chemistry with Mahershala Ali, and why he feels the film is so relevant right now.

Green Book: To give a concert tour in the Jim Crow-era American South, a black pianist (Mahershala Ali) hires a white bodyguard (Viggo Mortensen) as his driver. Director Peter Farrelly portrays racial segregation in all its brutality while imbuing his film with humour and humanity.
