Fighting the System, Wine Sabotage & Delusional Love

Spare Part

BAFTA nominated comedy duo Ada Player & Bron Waugh join us for the online premiere of Spare Part and take us inside adapting their stage monologue for screen, finding London's loneliest brutalist locations and how they made audiences sympathise with a heartbreakingly hopeless doormat.

Buried

Writer/Director Nat Gee returns to DN with Buried and explains how shooting on 16mm and cutting four minutes from the edit helped audiences deeply connect with her maverick winemaker's psychological fragmentation as her suspicions of sabotage ferment.

Déjà Nu

Rolf Hellat delves into his experimental documentary short Déjà Nu - a rich collaborative film created in lockstep with its featured participants, which brings together themes of culture, identity and bodily transience into an enthralling genre-bending audiovisual poem.

Lollipop

As Lollipop arrives on cinema screens this week as part of its Q&A tour, before being released nationwide on the 13th June, writer/director Daisy-May Hudson joins us again to discuss making the move from documentary to narrative features for her rightfully emotive drama about a young woman (played by Posy Sterling) newly released from prison after serving four months, who is forced to struggle against a not fit for purpose child protection system to regain custody of her children.
