Jane has been nominated for 5 oscars, winning best original screenplay for The Piano and best director for the See-Saw production The Power of the Dog. She is in fact the only woman to have been nominated twice for the Academy Award for Best Director, and the first female filmmaker to receive the Palme d'Or at Cannes. We first worked with Jane In 2012 on the two season miniseries Top of the Lake, which became quite a landmark moment in serialised television - and then again on The Power of the Dog which earned 12 Academy Award nominations (a record for an Australian film).
The power of Jane’s storytelling stems from her unflinching vision, her creative risk-taking, and her unwavering commitment to exploring not just the world around her but her inner world. She trusts, amongst other things, the deep reservoir of the subconscious that, if we’re still long enough to listen, can serve as our guide. What a treat to sit down with Jane and reignite that space of inner inspiration.
This is Part 1 of our conversation with Jane Campion.
