In this episode of Kermode on Film, Mark talks to actor and producer Gemma Chan about her upcoming film, JOSEPHINE, a psychological thriller based on a real event from the director’s childhood. They discuss the process of making the film, working with young and first time actor Mason Reeves and the film’s reception.
Next, Mark is joined by Palestinian-Jordanian documentary filmmaker Asmahan Bkerat to talk about her debut feature documentary, CONCRETE LAND, which won the Grierson Award in the Documentary Competition at the BFI LFF. They discuss the filmmaking process, the real family who inspired her to become a filmmaker and what she hopes audiences will take away from the film.
