A Roundup of the London Film Festival 2024

We're bringing back a classic...the Directors Notes Podcast returns! And to make up for our extended absence from your ears, this bumper episode sees Sarah (joined by DN guests old & new) looking back at being thrown into the deep end of LFF 2024.

Butterflies (Farfalle)

Marco Pattarozzi speaks to DN about the significance of the place we call home in his thriller-tinged coming-of-age drama shot in the Italian Apennines in which the last days of summer for the just turned 18 Caterina are marked by tragedy and loss.

Santosh

Sandhya Suri delves into the creation of her twice BIFA longlisted debut feature which we caught at LFF and explains why she chose to explore the complexities between women in positions of power as a way of dissecting the all too common violence inflicted on women.

Working Summer

Director Lily Weisberg unpacks the gorgeous, hazy visual language of her drama short about a daughter taken aback by the fullness and independence of her mother’s life when she returns home unannounced to their family home in Upstate New York.
