In this episode of Kermode on Film, Mark is joined by three fantastic guests for a lively film conversation, recorded at the BFI Southbank on Monday 10th April 2023.
This is Part 1 of Show 79, in which Mark welcomes director Andrew Legge to discuss his innovative debut feature LOLA, a genre-defying Irish-British sci-fi set during World War II. Andrew talks about the creative challenges and joys of shooting the film in a “found footage” style, and about the journey of bringing such a unique vision to the screen.
Next up is director Pravesh Kumar, who speaks about his heartfelt debut feature Little English, a comedy-drama set in suburban Slough about family, tradition, and finding your voice.
Mark then welcomes actor, writer and improvisational legend Josie Lawrence, who talks about her performance in A Clever Woman, a bold and intimate film created through improvisation.
