Alix Lambert's work spans multiple media and disciplines. From documentary filmmaking to boxing, Alix has spent the majority of her career trying to understand strange and beautiful aspects of human behaviour. Anthony first encountered her work while flipping through the 1993 Venice Biennale catalogue; feeling a strange sense of affinity for the black & white image of Alix punching a speed-bag in a wedding dress, Anthony and Alix connected to try to revive her 1993 film 'No Holes Barred.' In the early stages of conducting podcasts for this interview Anthony and Alix caught up online to talk about her latest directorial work with the film 'The Woods Are Real' (2023) and her process of coming to appreciate working through film as a medium.Follow Alix on instagram at @lixilambWatch The Woods Are Real on all major streaming platforms 12 March 2024Check out Alix's books at Percival PressDonate to Humanitet's Emergency Gaza AppealTheme music by Harry Bix Support Into the Paint on Acast+ https://plus.acast.com/s/in-the-paint-1.

Die Filmemacherin Alix Lambert reiste 1999 in russische Gefängnisse, um Tattoos zu untersuchen. Was sie dort vorfand waren Tattoos, die nicht nur Körperschmuck waren, sondern die mit Bedeutung aufgeladen waren. Jedes Tattoo hatte eine eigene Bedeutung. „Das Segelschiff bedeutet, ich habe ein unstetes Leben geführt. Ich bin von Ort zu Ort gezogen. Hier ist ein Pirat und ein Totenkopf. Der Pirat steht für Raubüberfall und der Totenkopf für Mord. Viele Verurteilte haben Kreuze auf ihren Körpern. Wenn es ein Kreuz mit Jesus ist, bedeutet es, er ist ein Dieb-im-Gesetz“ (aus Alix Lambert, The Mark of Cain) ----- Music by Tiny Alligator
