  We have another minisode! Our lovely colleague Rosie recently interviewed the maker of new documentary MATANGI / MAYA / M.I.A, Steve Loveridge. The film is an intimate look at the pop star who refuses to fit the mould and conform to stereotypes.

  We have another minisode! Jaq and Producer Jay catch up with the director of the new documentary Nae Pasaran! and talk about storytelling, the parallels between journalism and filmmaking, and fighting fascism whilst eating porridge. Nae Pasaran! charts the incredible story of a group of factory workers in Scotland who refused to work on planes used by Pinochet’s brutal dictatorship over Chile. This was the longest international act of solidarity against the regime and proved to be hugely important. None of the workers really knew how much of an impact their protest had until Felipe (the son of an exiled Chilean journalist himself) decided to make the film.

The Cinema

It’s our first minisode! Jaq catches up with writer/ director of new British indie film Pin Cushion Deborah Haywood, as well as one of the stars, Joanna Scanlan (In the Loop, The Thick of It, The Woman in White). They talk women in film, working class cinema, what it feels like to play a bullied character and the importance of volunteer-led cinema. Pin Cushion tells the story of mother Lyn and daughter Iona (Lily Newmark), who are best friends and move to a new town. Determined to make a success of things after a tricky start, Iona try to ingratiate herself with the popular girls leaving Lyn feeling left out. As much as Lyn and Iona pretend to each other that things are fine, things aren't going great for either of them. Both mother and daughter retreat into fantasy and lies. Out now in UK cinemas!
