On today’s podcast, FC Publisher Eugene Hernandez sits down with Lizzie Francke, producer and editor at large at the BFI, to provide an inside-the-industry take on this year’s festival. They also touch on some lesser-known films that they’re excited about, including Charlotte Well’s Aftersun, before diving into Francke’s long history with the festival, recent upheavals in the festival ecosystem, and the recent and refreshing increase in the number of women directors in UK cinema. Don’t forget to subscribe to the Film Comment Letter today for early access to a steady stream of our Cannes 2022 coverage, including interviews, dispatches, and podcasts.
Thanks to James Wham for production assistance.
