Elhum Shakerifar talks about her role as director of the UK's Women's film festival, Birds Eye View, which this year is celebrating female Arab filmmakers, including Palestine, Egypt Algeria, Lebanon and Syria. She discusses the challenges that Haifaa Al Mansour had in filming Wadjda on location in Saudi Arabia; she had to direct some sequences from a van via walkie talkie due to prohibitions on women in public spaces. Wadjda is a moving film about a ten year old girl whose goal in life is to buy a bicycle.
Neil Brand discusses film composer Alex North's ground breaking score to the 1952 film Viva Zapata. Directed by Elia Kazan and starring Marlon Brando and Anthony Quinn the film told the story of revolutionary Mexican Emiliano Zapata. The score by Alex North so impressed the man who would go on to write some of the best known screen themes of the 60s and 70s - Lalo Schifrin, composer of the Dirty Harry scores amongst others, and for tv, The Man from UNCLE, Mission Impossible and many more.
And two founding films of the French New Wave, both released within a month of each other in 1959: Le Beau Serge and Les Cousins, directed by Claude Chabrol. We discusses the profound impact these two films had at the time, and the ways in which they heralded one of the most exciting movements in the history of cinema.
