March 15, 2024 A Conversation With Neil Jeram-Croft (Festival Director at Manchester Film Festival)
In conversation with Marcus in the latest episode is Festival Director at Manchester Film Festival, Neil Jeram-Croft.

The 10th edition of the film festival begins on the 15th March running until 24th March 2024. Neil very kindly sat down with Marcus to share stories about how he started the festival a decade ago, what attendees can expect from the festival and what drives him and the team to keep growing the festival that is now such a big part of the UK film scene.

Film festivals are integral to the film industry so hearing from someone at the heart of the festival scene is a real insight. We're big believers in bringing people together around film and film festivals are absolutely the place to do this. So hearing from Neil and the reasons why film drives him so much is yet another reason to get out there and get involved with a festival like Manchester.

March 11, 2024 #88 The Zone of Interest
Jonathan Glazer's latest film, The Zone of Interest, is a powerful reflection on genocide in 1940s Europe. Combining Kubrick-esque cinematography with documentary-style precision, Glazer's film speaks to the present as a warning, that humans have historically and are presently, complicit in mass genocide. Silence is not an option. It pushes us to think about the weight of history and how it rests on our present - a powerful and solemn contribution to Holocaust study. Check out the latest review.

March 05, 2024 A Conversation With Gillian Davies (Director)
In the latest conversation episode, Marcus spoke with Director of the short documentary "Life Over Death", Gillian Davies.

During their conversation Marcus and Gillian spoke about the film that won Best Documentary at Worcester Film Festival in 2023. The film explores the charnel house underneath the home of the Bishop of Worcester, the history behind it and how it inspired the bishop's late wife to write the book "A Tour of Bones".

The documentary is not only historically fascinating but explores bigger themes of life and death and how embracing the notion of death can help us appreciate life more.

Gillian also discusses her wider love for filmmaking, the impact this film and the act of producing films has on her and her plans for the future.

This is a wonderful chat that explores many insightful areas offering a great look into what it takes to produce such a documentary.

"Life Over Death" is to be screened at Worcester Cathedral on the 9th March 2024. You can find tickets online here;

January 24, 2024 #85 Poor Things
Yorgos Lanthimos' latest film is an absurdist comment on the zeitgeist. Addressing themes of innocence, patriarchy, sexual liberation, and ideas of being, Poor Things is a surreal black comedy drama examining how all these mesh. It follows the story of Bella Baxter, a woman with a child's mind, and how she navigates the world. It seems like a comment on modernity. Check out the latest review!
