From Literature to Lens, with Cécile Embleton

I spoke to director, cinematographer, and my good friend Cécile Embleton (instagram) about her work and influences and her new film ⁠Mother Vera⁠, which is playing at the London Film Festival next month. This is a feature documentary about the life of a young orthodox nun from Belarus, I have seen it, and it is spectacular. Cécile and I discuss literature, her influences, and the challenges and joys of making arthouse cinema. It is also playing at Camden International Film Festival, in Camden, Maine, on Friday 13th September, 1pm @ Journey’s End Cinema. Other films/shows we mentioned: Nomadland The Taste of Things Godland Silent Light Sátántangó The Turin Horse The Act of Killing Drive Only God Forgives The Neon Demon Too Old to Die Young Copenhagen Cowboy
