Radu Jude Knows He’s Divisive, He Loves That

<p>Radu Jude is a Romanian filmmaker who isn't to everyone's taste. His last film was called "Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn", a provocative satire that won the Golden Bear at the Berlinale in 2021 and pushed him into the center of global cinema. It also annoyed a lot of his countrymen who frankly found it crass. Jude's new film is a near three hour experience called "Do Not Expect Too Much From the End of the World," a triptych of differing styles that leaps, without warning, into a montage documentary before finally settling into the most remarkable single take scene of the year. Jude knows his work is divisive. But let's face it, he loves that.</p><p> </p><p>Subscribe to <a href='https://www.locarnofestival.ch/media/locarno-meets.html'>Locarno Meets</a> for lively conversations about art, culture life and everything in between with the likes of Lambert Wilson, Ken Loach, Harmony Korine, Marianne Slot, Luc Jacquet, Zar Amir Ebrahimi, and more.</p><p> </p><p>Locarno Meets is a <a href='https://www.locarnofestival.ch'>Locarno Film Festival</a> original production, brought to you by UBS.</p> Follow us on <a href='https://www.instagram.com/filmfestlocarno/'>Instagram</a>Follow us on <a href='https://www.tiktok.com/@filmfestlocarno'>TikTok</a>Subscribe to our <a href='https://www.locarnofestival.ch/extra/newsletter-signup.html'>Newsletter</a> Host: Alexander MillerAudio Producer: Jack BoswellVideo Producer: Claudia Campoli<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Ken Loach on ‘The Old Oak’, Anti-Immigrant Culture & Hope

<p>Outside of perhaps Alfred Hitchcock, it’s arguable that there has never been a film director as significant in Britain as Ken Loach. In his seven decade career, Loach’s unrivalled filmography has been the most potent, artistic voice for the dispossessed in his native England. It is a tragedy for both the art form and the country that his new film will be his last. At 87, the man is drawing a line under this remarkable career, which began in the 1960s and has enjoyed multiple peaks. His final film, ‘The Old Oak’, marks a completion of a trilogy of social dramas set in the north-east of England and is as touching and as human as either of the two that came before it.</p><p> </p><p>We sat down with Ken Loach to talk about his latest, and last film, to ask him about the importance of hope in politics, the rise of the far-right across Europe and why your last film has to be the one you just can't avoid making. </p><p> </p><p>Subscribe to <a href='https://www.locarnofestival.ch/media/locarno-meets.html'>Locarno Meets</a> for lively conversations about art, culture life and everything in between with the likes of Lambert Wilson, Ken Loach, Harmony Korine, Marianne Slot, Luc Jacquet, Zar Amir Ebrahimi, and more.</p><p> </p><p>Locarno Meets is a <a href='https://www.locarnofestival.ch'>Locarno Film Festival</a> original production, brought to you by UBS.</p> Follow us on <a href='https://www.instagram.com/filmfestlocarno/'>Instagram</a>Follow us on <a href='https://www.tiktok.com/@filmfestlocarno'>TikTok</a>Subscribe to our <a href='https://www.locarnofestival.ch/extra/newsletter-signup.html'>Newsletter</a> Host: Alexander MillerAudio Producer: Jack BoswellVideo Producer: Claudia Campoli<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

David Krumholtz: Comedy, Child Prodigies and Embracing Death

<p>After a career stretching back to childhood, defining Christmas for a generation of American kids in ‘The Santa Claus’ and shining in the brilliant ‘Adams Family Values’, for a long period as a supporting actor and comedian, American actor David Krumholtz has now moved into the centre of the cinematic frame with ‘Lousy Carter’ - the story of a man with unrealised potential, confronting and embracing death as an excuse to try one last time to achieve something small in his life. We sat down with Krumholtz to talk about how to get out of the way of the role and service the script, feeling comfortable in the characters skin, and setting artistic standards for yourself. </p><p> </p><p>Subscribe to <a href='https://www.locarnofestival.ch/media/locarno-meets.html'>Locarno Meets</a> for lively conversations about art, culture life and everything in between with the likes of Lambert Wilson, Ken Loach, Harmony Korine, Marianne Slot, Luc Jacquet, Zar Amir Ebrahimi, and more.</p><p> </p><p>Locarno Meets is a <a href='https://www.locarnofestival.ch'>Locarno Film Festival</a> original production, brought to you by UBS.</p> Follow us on <a href='https://www.instagram.com/filmfestlocarno/'>Instagram</a>Follow us on <a href='https://www.tiktok.com/@filmfestlocarno'>TikTok</a>Subscribe to our <a href='https://www.locarnofestival.ch/extra/newsletter-signup.html'>Newsletter</a> Host: Alexander MillerAudio Producer: Jack BoswellVideo Producer: Claudia Campoli<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Marianne Slot on Defending Artistic Freedom

<p>"Imagine this: you’re in your 20s, you’ve never worked in or studied film when suddenly you find yourself producing an indisputably brilliant generational movie. Marianne Slot has now worked as Lars von Trier’s production partner since the 1990s. Over the decades her production company, Slot Machine, has been a cathedral for independent cinema. If producers were gatekeepers, Slot is the person you want holding the keys. </p><p>We sat down with Marianne Slot to talk about the importance of defending artistic freedom, tough times for independent cinema, and ask: what does a film producer actually do?

Lambert Wilson: Being Inside One Life Wasn’t Enough

<p>Tractors, madness, creative freedom and the heavy burden of judging art. We sit down with the prolific French actor Lambert Wilson, who is also the President of the Jury for the Locarno Film Festival, to talk about his new film, why he sees acting as a tool to extend life and ask that one crucial question: above all, is it great cinema?</p><p> </p><p>Subscribe to <a href='https://www.locarnofestival.ch/media/locarno-meets.html'>Locarno Meets</a> for lively conversations about art, culture life and everything in between with the likes of Lambert Wilson, Ken Loach, Harmony Korine, Marianne Slot, Luc Jacquet, Zar Amir Ebrahimi, and more.</p><p> </p><p>Locarno Meets is a <a href='https://www.locarnofestival.ch'>Locarno Film Festival</a> original production, brought to you by UBS.</p> Follow us on <a href='https://www.instagram.com/filmfestlocarno/'>Instagram</a>Follow us on <a href='https://www.tiktok.com/@filmfestlocarno'>TikTok</a>Subscribe to our <a href='https://www.locarnofestival.ch/extra/newsletter-signup.html'>Newsletter</a> Host: Alexander MillerAudio Producer: Jack BoswellVideo Producer: Claudia Campoli<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
