Female Film-makers and the Pandemic
In a special edition of Talking Movies, the focus is on the challenges faced by female film-makers at a critical time in the movie business, caused by the impact of the global pandemic. With a poll showing that more than 96 per cent of women in the UK film and television industry have lost all their income, we look at the ingenious ways in which women in cinema are continuing their movie-making around the world. Interviews include a conversation with top Indian film-maker Mira Nair, who is putting the finishing touches on her TV adaptation of the novel, A Suitable Boy, while working remotely with her film editor. We also visit the home of Welsh-Egyptian director Sally El Hosaini to find out how she is juggling motherhood with the challenges of completing a film during the pandemic.
