The Garden Cinema Film Talk

We chat about the work of directors, such as Jean Vigo and Marcel Carné, their aesthetic considerations and the stories they chose to tell, as well as the lasting legacy of that era with Professor Ginette Vincendeau.

Ginette is a Professor of Film Studies at King’s College London, and a regular contributor to Sight & Sound. Ginette has written extensively about French cinema and is currently co-editing a book on Paris in the cinema. She joins us to talk about the Golden Age of French film to mark a season dedicated to this period at the Garden Cinema.

We chat to Antoneta Alamat Kusijanovic whose new film ‘Murina’ won the Camera d’Or at Cannes last year.

She discusses how the film tackles such emotional subjects as adolescence, cultural heritage, and family relationships in a patriarchal society. She’s interviewed by Michael Chambers, owner/manager of the cinema, and by Abla Kandalaft, a journalist and film programmer.

This podcast comes from the Garden Cinema, an independent cinema in Covent Garden in the heart of London.
