À propos de cet audio

Welcome to the FIRST FILM CLUB Podcast.


Produced by Natalie Louise, and hosted by critic and author Hanna Flint, both founders of the FIRST FILM CLUB, this podcast is dedicated to filmmakers, casts and crew members talking about the first films they ever made. It is a companion project to the FIRST FILM CLUB event series that celebrates directorial debuts. We screen a debut short film from an emerging director alongside the feature debut of an established director followed by a Q&A with both filmmakers to discuss their craft, their inspiration and what the future holds. Past live show guests have included Mike Leigh’s “Bleak Moments” with Florence Roach-Keith’s “A Family Affair”, Amma Asante’s “A Way of Life” with Tracy Kyriango’s “Colour Blind” and Gurinder Chadha’s “Bhaji on the Beach” with Toby Fell-Holden’s “Balcony.”

    Genevieve Gaunt is a talented British actress whose career has traversed stage and screen. From Michael Winterbottom’s The Face of an Angel and American soap opera The Royals to playing Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme in a production of Stephen Sondheim’s Assassins at Edinburgh Theatre Festival and voicing Lady Penelope in a recent Thunderbirds audiobook series, Gaunt boasts an eclectic array of credits. But her film career first kicked off as a child actor cast by Alfonso Cuaron in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Widely regarded as the best instalment in the fantasy franchise, Gaunt’s debut feature role was as Slytherin student Pansy Parkinson. Although her part was small, it was an impactful experience that she sat down with Hanna Flint to talk about…

    Belgian filmmaker Laura Wandel knew from the get-go that if she was going to tell a visceral story about school dynamics and the first childhood relationships made away from the family home, she would need to tell it from the child’s point of view. That visual perspective is partly why Playground, her feature-length debut, has earned widespread acclaim from critics and audiences alike ever since it debuted in Un Certain Regard at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.


    We recorded today’s episode during London Film Festival, in a conference room at the Mayfair hotel, so while the audio quality might be a tad echoey, the answers Laura gives, with the help of a translator, are of the highest standard. So here, the filmmaker describes what went into corralling her inexperienced cast, including Maya Vanderbeque as seven-year-old lead Nora, and executing a stunning feat of filmmaking.


    Playground is released in cinemas on April 22nd

    Award-winning casting director, Kharmel Cochrane has a reputation for championing new and diverse talent across film and television. As one of the few women of colour leading in the profession, her knack for finding the perfect cast has been utilised on the small screen in BAFTA-winning The End of the Fucking World, Sky One’s Intergalactic, and the Jodie Turner-Smith-led Anne Boleyn miniseries. In Film, she’s worked on John Wick: Chapter 4, Saint Maud and with Robert Eggers on all three of his feature films: The Witch, The Lighthouse and the upcoming The Northman.


    Beginning in shorts and music videos, Kharmel’s first feature credit as Casting Director was on British-Cambodian director Hong Khaou’s debut feature Lilting. The 2014 film tells the story of a bereaved Cambodian-Chinese mother coming to terms with the untimely loss of her son as his English lover attempts to connect with her through their shared grief with the help of a translator. Starring Ben Whishaw, Cheng Pei Pei, Andrew Leung, Naomi Yang, Peter Bowles, and Morven Christie, Cochrane talks to Hanna Flint about bringing that cast together with the director…
