Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard's The Extraordinary Miss Flower is part-concert film, part-performance art piece inspired by the life of its subject, a woman called Geraldine Flower. When she passed away a few years ago, her daughter Zoe discovered a number of letters, written over the years by suitors of Geraldine's, which painted a picture of a wildly charismatic, enigmatic and magnetic woman. Zoe's close friend, Icelandic singer Emiliana Torrini, and Zoe's husband, the musician Simon Byrt, were inspired by the letters, and thus 2024's album, Miss Flower, was born. And, not long after that, Forsyth and Pollard's film, which combines performances from Torrini and her band, with interstitial pieces featuring a host of famous faces reading aloud the letters, and Caroline Catz as the extraordinary Geraldine Flower. And in this Empire Podcast interview special, Chris Hewitt is joined in the podbooth by Zoe Flower, the film's producer and daughter of its subject, and Catz for a frank and fascinating conversation in which the word 'extraordinary' is said quite a lot. Enjoy.

As we like to do as often as possible on Soundtracking, we are celebrating an independent film this week, as first directors Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard and then musicians Emiliana Torrini and SImon Byrt join Edith to discuss their collaboration on an esoteric gem, The Extraordinary Miss Flower. This picture is quite hard to describe, if we're honest, but was basically inspired by behind-the-scenes friend of the show, Zoe, who discovered a suitcase full of her late mother Geraldine's letters, which suggested that Geraldine had led a much more exotic and, well, extraordinary life than Zoe could have possibly imagined. This in turn inspired an album's worth of songs from Emiliana, co-written and produced by Simon, which form the backbone of this movie - directed by Iain and Jane.

Ceri is joined in conversation with Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, artists and BAFTA-nominated directors who've collaborated for over 30 years. From their early days at Goldsmiths to working with music icons like Nick Cave, this episode reveals their unique approach to art, film, TV and performance. Learn how they navigate the art world, balance ambition with pragmatism, and find magic in the spaces between truth and fiction. Their candid insights and inspiring advice make this a must-listen for creatives seeking to carve their own path! KEY TAKEAWAYS Embrace collaboration and find partners who complement your strengths, as Iain and Jane have done for over three decades. Don't be afraid to ask questions and be the beginner in the room – it can lead to innovative approaches and unexpected opportunities. Aim high in your creative ambitions, even if you fall short, you'll still achieve more than if you hadn't set big goals. Cultivate relationships with mentors and champions who believe in your work and can support you during challenging times. Be willing to let go of ideas that aren't working and adapt quickly, especially when working on time-sensitive projects. Focus on the day-to-day aspects of your creative life, as they form 99% of your experience, rather than fixating on big moments. Look for the "magic" that happens in the space between authenticity and performance, truth and fiction. Enjoy the journey and successes while they're happening, rather than only appreciating them in retrospect. BEST MOMENTS  "We very rarely back down. So ideas are often pushed somewhere pretty extreme, pretty quickly." "The best moments in 20,000 Days for us, artistically, are these tiny bits of archive footage of Nick performing from over the 30 odd years he's been performing that are cut into a performance of him performing at Sydney Opera House." "We often give our crews kind of pep talks about, you know, don't fear the speed, ride it, like let's pretend we're on a roller coaster, go with it." "Stop thinking about  the bigger picture and work on project by project. Always challenge yourself, always make it new and fresh." "Be so aware that the day to day, the way in which you spend your time, and the people with which you spend it with, is ultimately 99 percent of your creative life." "I wish I'd enjoyed it whilst I was there, and I think that's a really powerful piece of advice to actually enjoy it whilst you're there."

How do we cope when our world is unexpectedly turned upside down?  When lockdown was imposed on the UK, almost all of Iain & Jane's projects came to a grinding halt. With unexpected time on their hands, they discussed starting an online project… but then, like many of us, did nothing else about it.     Fortunately, some did bother, and these online lockdown projects have helped many of us feel a little less isolated. For some, especially performers, it has been about finding ways to carry on regardless. With a new album and tour postponed because of the pandemic, Jarvis Cocker begun hosting a Domestic Disco on Instagram. Here, he discusses spinning records from his living room and inviting viewers to join him for a socially-distanced dance.    For others, the priority has been keeping platforms open and ensuring voices are still heard. Alain ‘Fusion’ Clapham is the founder of Black Man’s Time. At the start of lockdown he was about to launch a new live project, Black Love Stories, an immersive mix of spoken word, art, film and conversation. Determined to create something positive out of the moment, Black Love Stories was swiftly reassembled online, and now airs every Friday night on Instagram Live.    These illuminating and amusing conversations traverse the collective importance of such initiatives; and why we turn to the arts in time of crisis; as well as looking closer at the individuals behind these ventures and learning more about their creative drive.    Coping Mechanisms is a Somerset House podcast.  Created by Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard  Produced by Eleanor Scott & Daniel Breuer Music by Bernholtz.   Thank you to all the artists who have contributed to the series.

How did you sleep last night? Artists Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard (http://www.iainandjane.com/) , and writer Stuart Evers paint a possible future for our sleep and dreams in a 24/7 world. Artists explore the non-stop nature of modern life. Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard discuss their work Somnoproxy, a futuristic bedtime story with writer Stuart Evers, which features as part of the exhibition 24/7. This immersive audio installation centres on the fictional story of someone who sleeps on behalf of wealthy executives, too busy to sleep themselves. It’s a state-of-the-art sonic escape from reality, complete with a dream-machine designed by Brion Gysin, ‘viewed’ with the eyes closed. The pulsating light can produce Hypnagogia, the experience of the transitional state from wakefulness to sleep. ‘Sleep coincides with the metabolizing of what is ingested by day: drugs, alcohol, all the detritus from interfacing with illuminated screens; but also the flood of anxieties, fears, doubts, longings, imaginings of failure or the big score.’ — Jonathan Crary   Featuring contributions from exhibition curator Sarah Cook and Jonathan Reekie, co-curator of 24/7 and Director of Somerset House.  The exhibition 24/7 - A Wake Up Call For Our Non-Stop World (https://www.somersethouse.org.uk/whats-on/247) at Somerset House takes visitors on a multi-sensory journey from the cold light of the moon to the fading warmth of sunset through five themed zones and contains over 50 multi-disciplinary works that will provoke and entertain.

Nosso podcast encerra o ano com dobradinha no NERVOS Entrevista #32, que destaca dois filmes que conversam entre si sobre a dificuldade de viver de música no país: a ficção brasiliense Ainda Temos a Imensidão da Noite (2019), terceiro longa de Gustavo Galvão, e o documentário capixaba Diante dos Meus Olhos (2018), o début de André Felix. O primeiro foi exibido no último Festival de Brasília, tem a capital do Brasil como primeiro cenário da história de Karen (Ayla Gresta), uma trompetista que vê a sua banda, chamada Animal Interior, degringolar aos poucos com a falta de espaço e público para tocar na cidade, a necessidade de empregos formais e a ida do guitarrista Artur (Gustavo Halfeld) para Berlim, lugar para onde ela vai buscando um novo caminho em sua vida. O segundo acompanha, atualmente, os integrantes da banda Os Mamíferos, que marcou a cena musical local durante a década de 60, na época da contracultura, mas que não gravou nenhum disco ou faixa. Em entrevista à nossa editora Nayara Reynaud, o cineasta Gustavo Galvão conta sobre seu interesse por protagonistas vagando em road movies, o cenário musical em Brasília e a produção do filme em Berlim, até a escolha por músicos para interpretar os personagens, o processo de criação das canções e a participação mais do que especial de Lee Ranaldo na trilha sonora, enquanto o célebre guitarrista da banda de rock alternativo Sonic Youth comenta sobre seu trabalho na produção musical neste e em outras obras, além do seu próximo álbum com o espanhol Raül Refree e de seu interesse na música brasileira. Os musicistas e atores Ayla Gresta e Gustavo Halfeld, que fazem o quase par na tela que virou um casal na vida real, falam de como entraram no projeto e o desafio de atuar, além do processo vivo de formação dessa banda que seria fictícia, mas rendeu frutos na criação do duo YPU. Depois, é a vez da conversa com André Felix sobre como o diretor se envolveu com o trio que é motivo de pesquisa do projeto local Aurora Gordon e como driblou esteticamente a falta de registro dos músicos em atividade, além de revelar causos do conturbado festival de Guarapari que fez parte da história dos Mamíferos e do estado do Espírito Santo.
