Listen "From Literature to Lens, with Cécile Embleton"
Episode Synopsis
I spoke to director, cinematographer, and my good friend Cécile Embleton (instagram) about her work and influences and her new film Mother Vera, which is playing at the London Film Festival next month.
This is a feature documentary about the life of a young orthodox nun from Belarus, I have seen it, and it is spectacular. Cécile and I discuss literature, her influences, and the challenges and joys of making arthouse cinema.
It is also playing at Camden International Film Festival, in Camden, Maine, on Friday 13th September, 1pm @ Journey’s End Cinema.
Other films/shows we mentioned:
Nomadland
The Taste of Things
Godland
Silent Light
Sátántangó
The Turin Horse
The Act of Killing
Drive
Only God Forgives
The Neon Demon
Too Old to Die Young
Copenhagen Cowboy
