Director Nina Knag joins us to talk about her feature debut Don’t Call Me Mama which is about to have its world premier at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.

We’ll talk about how Nina has explored some similar themes in earlier works and have an interesting discussion about deliberate choices regarding what was left out of the film. We’ll also get into the impact and importance of having Norway's first certified intimacy coordinator on the project.

A drama about forbidden love, Don’t Call Me Mama confronts its protagonists with a moral test while provocatively exploring how hypocrisy can masquerade as generosity.

Note: Since we recorded this, Pia Tjelta, who has the lead role in the film, was awarded the Crystal Globe as best actress for her portrayal of Eva.
