Sarah Gavron and Theresa Ikoko on Rocks, Oscar nominations, Emma Stonex
Director Sarah Gavron and writer Theresa Ikoko on their film Rocks, Larushka Ivan-Zadeh reflects on today's Oscar nominations and Emma Stonex discusses her novel The Lamplighters.
Inspired by the real-life story of three men in a lighthouse who mysteriously vanished, Emma Stonex鈥檚 novel The Lamplighters is part thriller, part history and part ghost story. She explains why she felt drawn to write about the sea and what we can learn from the solitary lives of lighthouse keepers.
David Fincher's film Mank leads the field in today's Oscar nominations, but who else stood out in the announcement? Film critic Larushka Ivan-Zadeh reflects on the nominations in a year when most cinemas in the world have been closed.
The film Rocks is leading the BAFTA nominations this year. Its director, Sarah Gavron, and writer, Theresa Ikoko join us to discuss casting with no script, working in a wholly female team and the film鈥檚 success.
