Podcast appearances and mentions of Asif Kapadia

The documentary that won the Academy Award in 2015 is the topic of #670 of Have You Ever Seen. Asif Kapadia and his team look at the tremendous singer Amy Winehouse through archival footage and many new interviews with those in her circle, but the film sorely misses having these obscure people being shown on camera. Who's who?! We were also critical of how Kapadia's approach isn't as in-depth as he might think it is...and did this contribute to the pile-on done by the paparazzi and the media that loved to show her at her worst? There's so much blame to go around (her parents, the media, us and also her worst addiction…her husband Blake), but the women who badly needed rehab—and came up with a great song CALLED that—shoulders the most responsibility. At least we have the music. So cozy up to our chat about Amy. We're sponsored by Sparkplug Coffee. Apply our "HYES" promo code and win yourself a onetime 20% discount.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit zeteo.comDo you ever wonder where the world will be in 50 years?This is the key question that award-winning filmmaker Asif Kapadia – best known for his films ‘Diego Maradona', ‘Amy' and ‘Senna' – seeks to answer in his newest work, ‘2073.' And the answer is a lot scarier than perhaps the flying cars we imagined for the future.‘2073' gives us a look at just one of the possibilities if the world continues to devolve at its current pace. A world almost unrecognizable as citizens of ‘New San Francisco' face the fall of democracy and the harrowing effects of climate change. (Be sure to watch the exclusive clip from the film at the end of the interview above.)“I thought the whole world feels really dystopian – everything that happens every day that I read, everything I see happening around me – and I thought, how do I express this feeling, this fear about where we're heading?” Kapadia tells Mehdi.He continues, “My main aim with this film was to kind of almost have a God's eye view of the whole world. Because my background is from India, I've worked in Brazil, I've worked in Europe, I live in the UK, I've worked in the US. I just saw the same kind of elements, the same playbook happening everywhere.”Thus, ‘2073' depicts the confluence of climate change and the rise of authoritarianism in the dystopian city of New San Francisco, where there's no privacy, no freedom, no democracy. The film is a warning of what is to come if we let oligarchs go unchecked.But it's not all doom and gloom, because as much as ‘2073' serves as a warning, it also is a call to action.“The film is there to create a dialogue for us to be talking now, for you, for me, for everyone to be saying, what can we individually do? I don't think it's as simple as putting a neat little moment at the end of the film and saying, if you do this, everything will be great. I mean, the struggle is much more complex and the fight for freedom and democracy is much more layered than me just saying go out and vote. There's something else going on here and we're going to have to talk about it,” Kapadia explains.He concludes, “I think partly it starts at home. It starts with you, starts with your kids, it starts with your family, your parents, your aunties and uncles, but then also a kind of wider community about what are we going to do to protect ourselves from what is happening. We're not crazy. This stuff is happening. And I think the film, part of the process of showing it, has been almost therapy for people.”Watch the full interview above to hear what Kapadia's take is on the mainstream media's coverage of the issues he highlights in ‘2073', and the exclusive clip, only for Zeteo paid subscribers

Die Britse vervaardiger van top-dokumentêre rolprente Asif Kapadia het in September sy jongste projek, 2073 bekend gestel. Die verhaal speel af in 'n post-apokaliptiese wêreld waar toesighoudende hommeltuie oral vlieg, en gemilitariseerde polisie outoritêre heerskappy afdwing. Kapadia het met Sky News gesels oor sy siening van die toekoms, veral in die lig van die inkomende Donald Trump-presidensie en het geraak aan sy immigrasie beleid.

Pia Marais shares insights from her filmmaking journey, including the making of her atmospheric new film “Transamazonia,” which just screened at the New York Film Festival following a Locarno world premiere. Past inspirations include Werner Herzog's “Wings of Hope” and Asif Kapadia's “Amy”.Pia's latest film explores themes of faith and family dynamics, and she discusses the complexities of casting, production, the importance of film festivals, and the ongoing challenges of securing distribution for independent films. Other topics include the evolving landscape of cinema culture, which has shifted significantly over the years with a need for more curated film experiences, as business decisions heavily influence American cinema these days. Also touched on are the differences between American and international cinema, particularly in funding and audience engagement.What Movies Are You Watching?Like, subscribe and follow us on our socials @pastpresentfeature

We have 3 guests for you in our latest episode, discussing an extraordinary journey which saw the acclaimed English National Ballet's production of Creature transformed into a film during lockdown. Choreographed by Akram Khan with music from Vincenzo Lamagna, Creature is inspired by Georg Büchner's expressionist classic Woyzeck, and has echoes of Frankenstein too.

As a great lady once sang, what's love got to do with it? Everything, is usually the answer, and that certainly drives this week's episode of the Empire Podcast and, indeed, the new rom-com What's Love Got To Do With It, whose stars, Lily James and Shazad Latif, pop onto a laptop and have a Zoom chat with Chris Hewitt in which he makes a desperate pitch to become their agent, and leaves the Working Title screening room in a frightful state. And love — namely of a little green guy with big ears — drives The Mandalorian, which is gearing up to return to Disney+ on March 1, and Chris also sits down with Jon 'Favs' Favreau for an interview about the show, how to find a director for Star Wars, and working with Peter Falk. Then, in the podbooth, Chris is joined by Ben Travis, Alex Godfrey and James Dyer for a fun episode in which they discuss (some of) the best movie bridges, (some of) the week's movie news, and (some of) the week's big releases, including Cocaine Bear, Asif Kapadia's Creature, We Have A Ghost, and Joyland. Oh, and Alex gets pigeonholed. Enjoy!

The Oscar-winning filmmaker Asif Kapadia tells Tom Sutcliffe about collaborating with the Olivier-winning choreographer Akram Khan on the dance film Creature. Originally conceived for English National Ballet on stage, Creature is inspired by Georg Büchner's play Woyzeck and Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein. Today Letty McHugh was announced as the winner of the Barbellion Book Prize, awarded annually to an author whose work has best represented the experience of chronic illness and / or disability. Letty joins us live from Yorkshire, to give an insight into the creation of her Book of Hours: An Almanac for The Seasons of The Soul, a collection of lyric essays and poetry. In Manchester, two cultural institutions reopen their doors- Manchester Museum, now with the UK's first permanent gallery celebrating the South Asian diaspora, and esea- short for East and South East Asia- contemporary, formerly the Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art. Shahidha Bari speaks to Esme Ward, Director of Manchester Museum and Xiaowen Zhu, director of esea contemporary.

Episode 550 is here! To celebrate the latest Empire Podcast landmark, we once again staged a live show at Kings Place, London, and now here is that show, reassembled in the correct order and with the really naughty bits cut out (to see those, the live stream of the show is still available to watch via kings place.co.uk for the next two weeks!). And it was a belter, as Chris Hewitt, Helen O'Hara, Ben Travis, and James Dyer took to the stage in front of a packed crowd of loyal listeners, and chatted about the week's movie news, reviewed EO, Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, The Whale, Knock At The Cabin, and Saint Omer, and answered a ton of listener questions. But that's not all: a landmark episode deserves a landmark line-up of guests, and we didn't disappoint, with Aftersun director Charlotte Wells and her young star, Frankie Corio, joining James and Helen for a chat about the BAFTA-nominated belter; director Asif Kapadia showed up to talk to Chris about Kapadia's new film, Creature (and NOT Liverpool Football Club, or the Queen); and we looked ahead to the big-screen debut of Luther in Luther: The Fallen Sun by inviting director Jamie Payne and the film's villain, living legend and national treasure Andy Serkis, along to chat with Chris and James. A good time was had by all on the night, and we hope you enjoy this as much as we did. Enjoy.

For this episode, Neil and Dario dive back into the work of master Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa having last talked about his cinema in the earliest days of the podcast when they screened Yojimbo for an audience in Falmouth. The occasion for this revisit is a new, extensive retrospective of his work hosted at the BFI Southbank (and some regional partner cinemas) and on their BFI Player platform. The season is curated by filmmaker Asif Kapadia and writer Ian Hayden Smith, who Dario talked to as the two-month long season got underway. Their discussion covers the curation approach, the influence of Kurosawa on them and the wider film community more broadly, and why he remains a key figure of focus in global film history. Elsewhere, Neil and Dario look at some of Kurosawa's post-War films set in contemporary Japan, with a deeper focus on I Live In Fear (1955) and High and Low (1963).  With thanks to Sarah Bemand at the BFI for the invitation to cover this season, setting up the interview with Asif and Ian and providing access to the BFI Player to view titles.

It's time to... switch gears... and talk about a documentary focusing on the life of Ayrton Senna. The guys talk about the unique style of the documentary not using any footage or interviews shot specifically for it (it's all archival footage and interviews), the way in which the film integrates the politics of Brazil into Senna's life story, Prost's negative reaction to the movie, the legendary Xuxu and much more.   Next week: a very disturbing movie.

Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode explore the legacy of Rashomon, directed by Japanese cinematic master Akira Kurosawa. Mark examines Kurosawa's enduring screen legacy and why he is one of the most influential directors in film history. He talks to director Asif Kapadia, who is co-programmer of the BFI's upcoming Kurosawa retrospective. They discuss Kurosawa's filmography and what makes him one of the greatest directors of all time as well as Kurosawa's influence on his own work. Mark then speaks to author Kazuo Ishiguro, screenwriter of the recent film, Living, a remake of Kurosawa's 1952 film, Ikiru. They discuss how Rashomon became one of Kurosawa's and Japan's most iconic films as well as debating how successful cinema is at depicting memory. Ellen investigates the longlasting impact of Kurosawa's 1950 film on the small screen. The film inspired the term 'the Rashomon effect' which is used to describe a narrative technique where different characters offer differing opinions and perspectives on the same event. Ellen talks to TV and film critic Roxana Hadadi about how this has become a staple of television storytelling. She then speaks to Chris Lang, creator of the TV series Unforgotten, who explains how Rashomon has influenced his work and why exactly it's so well suited to the crime genre. And director and Kurosawa super fan Alex Cox tells us his favourite Kurosawa film. Producer: Tom Whalley A Prospect Street production for BBC Radio 4

When Maradona arrived in Naples he was considered a superstar and when he left 7 years later he was the most hated man in Italy. In between Maradona dragged his team to Serie A championships, won a World Cup for Argentina with a mixture of cheating and genius, and got mixed up with the Neapolitan crime family and descended into drug abuse and personal chaos. It's of a piece with Senna and Amy, Kapadia's earlier documentaries of remarkable lives destroyed by celebrity told with the skillful use of rare personal archival material. Plus: Conrado and I wrestle with the moral dilemma of rooting for Messi and Argentina in a World Cup being held in the human rights hellscape of Qatar. Follow Conrado Falco on Twitter. Conrado has two podcasts: The Criterion Project and Foreign Invader. Check out Conrado's webseries Wormholes on YouTube. Trailer for Diego Maradona (Asif Kapadia, 2019)

The first documentary distributed by A24 was Amy, a poetic tragedy of a film that documents the life and music of British singer/songwriter/pop icon Amy Winehouse. Directed by Asif Kapadia, Amy went on to win the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature at the 88th Academy Awards. Kapadia decided to mostly use found footage to depict Winehouse's life, and give fans and viewers a window into what she was really like, beyond the paparazzi and salacious headlines. That window revealed a woman dealing with addiction and people in her life that used her as a product to make money. Was Kapadia successful in depicting the real Amy Winehouse? These filmheads discuss and debate the first A24 documentary, what grade will they give? Caution: movie spoilers. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/a24otr/support
