Podcast appearances and mentions of jane pollard

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.

Sam talks to directors Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard about their new film, The Extraordinary Miss Flower. A spellbinding performance film by Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, bringing to life the remarkable story the extraordinary Geraldine Flower, and the discovery of a suitcase of letters sent to her in the 1960s and 70s that inspired acclaimed Icelandic singer/songwriter Emilíana Torrini to return to the studio.

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."

Get ready for (a) love (-in): Graham is joined once again by the Uncut Network's Rob for a look at Iain Forsythe and Jane Pollard's massively acclaimed sort-of documentary about Nick Cave. As well as providing an intimate look at the Australian legend's creative process and history, it also features appearances from his deeply unexpected celebrity friends: Ray Winstone and Kylie Minogue, together at last! Along the way, there's time to consider the idiosyncratic concert demands of Nina Simone, while a look back at Forsythe and Pollard's career lets us talk about The Cramps and reveal the name of God. But mostly, this is a celebration of Cave - and there's more to come, with Andrew Dominik's duology of One More Time With Feeling and This Much I Know To Be True out tomorrow on our Patreon... If you want to put stacks of green paper in our red right hands, you can donate to our Patreon, where you'll get the aforementioned Pop Screen bonus episodes plus reviews of Eastern genre cinema in Fantastic Asia, our monthly movie round-up Last Night..., cult franchises discussed in From the Video Aisle and weekly reviews of Doctor Who, Red Dwarf and The X-Files.

Today's episode is about "20,000 Days on Earth" (Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, 2014), which is about Nick Cave.   Is this even a documentary at all? It's sort of a semi-fictionalized day in the life in which we follow Nick as he records some music, performs live, visits his therapist, hangs out with friends including Warren Ellis, Kylie Minogue, and Ray Winstone, among others, delivers some monologues, and generally looks and acts super cool, depending on your tolerance for Nick Cave doing those kinds of things.   Our Very Special Guest is Brighton's own Adam Scott Glasspool of the "What Is Music?" podcast about Radiohead (among other artists), and a fine musician in his own right.   Rock Docs is a Treble Media Podcast hosted by David Lizerbram & Andrew Keatts   Twitter: @RockDocsPod   Instagram: @RockDocsPod   Cover Art by N.C.

Southport Middle School's Cardinal Connection hosted by Andy Ashcraft.

This week: the recent opening of Edward Hopper's New York at the Whitney Museum has reignited a controversy over the provenance of some of his works. We talk to the leading Hopper scholar Gail Levin about the story of Arthayer R. Sanborn, a Baptist Minister who befriended the Hopper family and eventually amassed a vast collection of memorabilia and art, some of which is in the Whitney Museum's exhibition. In London, Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard tell us about The Horror Show!, their exhibition looking at British culture over the past 50 years, and how artists, film-makers and musicians have used horror and fantasy as a means of exploring the political and social realities of the UK in that time. And this episode's Work of the Week is the newly restored Death of the Virgin by the Flemish primitive painter Hugo van der Goes, which is the centrepiece of a new exhibition in Bruges.Edward Hopper's New York, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, until 5 March 2023.Gail Levin's website: gaillevin.commons.gc.cuny.eduThe Horror Show!

Dear ones, My life is a f**king magazine. Pages of projects, my life, twixting and twaining. I've grown up in them. You are your experience, and in the same way that you are what you sleep with, you become what you do, I guess.I wasn't sure whether to hammer your inboxes daily with micro-content, a la Patti Smith, in the run-up to my biggest news to date (beyond Psychomachia) or to just throw it ALL down here.Because what I really want to share is our. Beautiful. Single. (You can nab a pre-order of here).But it feels more honourable to make a cover star award of Geoff Travis, founder of Rough Trade - arguably the most important indie label in the history of the British recording industry.  We met as judges on the Doc n Roll Festival, he memorably said, “I bet you like performing,” as we hustled together for a group shot. He's right. Just gotta stay away from manifesting drama in one's personal life, and love you what you do - but like all those Wellness Live Ya Best Life aspirational platitudes - how do you jump off the cliff by a bungy rope if you ain't stapled in financially?When I went back to university at 25, bounding in all Educating Rita, like a spring daisy from another nervous breakdown/rehab (again), I did a BA in New Media Journalism and Radio, it taught me to be pretty self-sufficient and DIY, editing across media, coding, I was working in BBC Radio as a researcher by the second year, reporting at celeb parties and on September 11th, before making radio documentaries for 1XTRA, R2, etc. Authenticity has become more and more apparent to my sanity over the years. I've taught Media Ethics, Broadcasting, Pop video courses, loads of zine workshops with victims of torture, and minority groups, after school clubs - that sort of thing before getting more and more quasi-academic, and wannabe Doctor, shifting between teaching vocational media work to City & Guilds, B-Tec, undergrads and some Masters (in a particularly sketchy institution).  I've also consulted internationally for cash. I've become more and more capable over the years, but it also means I am pretty multi-skilled and good at problem solving, but it also prevents me from working to true calling. As life does for most people who have to earn a living.  The reality of being a writer and performer is that without compromise to industry demands, you're on your own.Which flips me back to Geoff Travis -  there was a crossover period when I was still trying to lecture and edit Ambit (Ambit won in the end, despite it being a charity, and the money not being as good as teaching, I felt more committed to the responsibility of helming this great institution).I invited Travis to give a guest lecture when I was leading a class on the Music Industry to American undergrads (employed by the brilliant writer, Heidi Dunbar James).  I was surprised what I knew, despite having written about music since my early days, DJing etc, you may know from PSYCHOMACHIA, which examines  the patriarchal nature of the 90s music industry as fiction, I've been around it forever -  before editing Ambit I was the “Off The Floor” editor of the arts on DJMag, but have never felt part of the boys club -  despite knowing so many of the wheeler dealers who have hustled through life making money from music -  we all feel like outsiders sometimes. My DJ moniker took a non-female angle, K-Rocka - a nickname, and it was through doing a series of lectures about the music industry in the UK, I kinda realised that actually I'm likely qualified as much as anyone else -  but the guest lecture from Geoff Travis was landmark - I hope you may have time to listen to this founder of Rough Trade, I've added the lecture as a podcast here.  It's a masterclass in independence. He's very cool, casually reeling out how he didn't sign The Stone Roses, and being at one of The Strokes first gigs, and not knowing that one of The Libertines was going to end up a heroin addict. There's also the pain of board meetings, not really being in it for the money, and the backend of the music industry. It's solid - thank you to the students of that class for their questions…Gil and I started sharing our work live in 2018.   He's what one may call a “professional musician”, his first A&R was John Niven and he's been signed to major labels and produced John Martyn among others. He was performing with Little Barrie when we met, at a book reading for Tony O'Neill (who also used to work in music, playing keys for my friend Kelli Ali, but also Kenickie, Marc Almond and others. His first book, Digging the Vein was published by Wrecking Ball Press who put my novel out). Gil and I became friends after that signing, and in the maelstrom of our relationship, his band with Little Barrie imploded - as bands do - despite their only single as Pet Weapons being loved and played by Lauren Laverne.Gil commenced on The Long Road of who am I, why am I, etc.  The important road.We collaborated before we got together -  co-writing a poem that introduced him at Red Gallery, 15 December 2015.  And by NOLA, 2018, we were making a film for Jeffrey Wengrofsky's festival in NYC, me writing a poem, chalking it up in the streets, filmed, and Gil then made music to accompany it.  We later showed it at the Liminality show at Gallery46, first performing together there. We then played other galleries, like the Bomb Factory in North London. In Berlin, The Social, Pikes Ibiza.   We've now done a couple of tours.Our friend Martyn Goodace did the Das Wasteland compilation which was our first  release, on vinyl, from Berlin days…We met Blang! Records boss Joe, who works with Paul and Jules, Beth and La, with his wife, after the first show we did out of lockdown, in Sheffield at Sidney & Matilda, a great venue, supporting Band of Holy Joy. (There's a documentary about Blang! Records which is worth finding - about antifolk and why they started)The sound guy at Sidney & Matilda was good, turned me onto local hip-hop poet Otis Mensah - but in the basement, people were conditioned to not stand close to each other and it felt like we were defo sharing air.  By the end of the tour - it was a futile underground party of sweat-filled sardine dancing in venues in Edinburgh and North Shields.  But that first night, it was that kinda romantic dream: a record label coming up to you after a show and showing interest.  Blang! Records were later doing a residency at the Hope n Anchor is Islington and asked us to play.  We filmed the shows for them, and they offered to put out a single.  Initially it was suggested we did it with Pink Eye Club on the flipside, but we played them Rock n Roll Is A Deathwish, after they'd chosen Paradise Burns - that's what's coming.  There are 50 lathe-cuts. The artwork's by the brilliant Bert Gilbert - “northern Marina Abramović” -  who's showing at the forthcoming Horror show at Somerset House, curated by Jane Pollard and Ian Forsyth (who directed 20000 Days with Nick Cave).  We've done a beautiful UV spot bespoke print and they really are limited and beautiful. Bert used Gustave Doré as her main influence on the piece.  A modernised rising of a new enlightenment, we can but dream.David Erdos has been super-kind in his review of the single in International Times. Comparing us to everyone between early Dylan (the first record I ever DJed was Subterranean Homesick Blues), and my vox being halfway between Wendy James and Siouxie Sioux. (It's in that link…he's a genius, love his acting too…)****I would like to invite you to our single launch at Rough Trade East on Wednesday -  there are some free tickets, but they are going fast…Jonny Halifax Invocation, Sharon Gal, Savage Pencil, Gil, some poets, we'll all be celebrating the first look of The War Issue of Ambit, which coincidently is equinox (the end of summer) and World Peace Day. I began talking about this “War issue” of Ambit back in 2020, with a submission that stood out, and went public on it in April. It's resulted in 50+ international contributors selected by myself and my brilliant co-editors in Beirut, Sarah Chalabi and Zeina Chamseddine of Dongola Books. We launch in Beirut,  supported by British Council Lebanon, 18 November.There's so much to say about this issue -  and the magazine does it.  Order here.  It's a reaction to the spectacle of War we receive in mass media through mainly direct experiences from Poets, Writers, Artists.  For me, it says more than most news orgs.****If you sneak onto our Bandcamp - you'll see the artwork, but as there's a holiday tomorrow, perhaps I'll have time to make a lil video.x. Love n light.Please come on Wednesday if you can. A few free TICKETS HERE. To hear more, visit kirstyallison.substack.com

In the seventh episode of "Barbara London Calling," Barbara speaks with Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, two London-based artists and collaborators with a background in installation art and the moving image. Music has always played an important role in their work, culminating in their 2014 feature film, "20,000 Days on Earth," a musical docudrama starring the iconic singer/songwriter Nick Cave. Iain and Jane began their fruitful collaboration as students at Goldsmiths in London, where they saw firsthand the good and the bad of the so-called YBA movement of young British artists.

Speaking to familiar faces, including Carol Morley, Jarvis Cocker, Nabihah Iqbal, Noel Fielding and Tim Burgess, the series reflects on how guest have instigated new activities online, open to all, to stay creative in lockdown. Created and hosted by award-winning artists and film makers Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard (https://auth-somerset.axis12.com/residents/iain-forsyth-jane-pollard) , this series is a joyful listen for anyone who has (re)discovered their creative side in lockdown.

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. The exhibition runs at Somerset House until 23 February 2020. Producer: Eleanor Scott Sound Design: Harry Murdoch Mixed by Nick Ryan Featuring excerpts from Somnoproxy, an audio installation by Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard. Story by Stuart Evers. Read by Enzo Cilenti and Kate Ashfield. Originally commissioned by Moog Sound Lab UK with support from the Adonyeva Foundation.

No final da década, mais da conversa parece ser sobre como as pessoas assistem filmes (Netflix vs. cinemas) do que os próprios filmes. Então, vamos conversar sobre eles. De uma sequência da Pixar de 2010 até um épico de 3 horas e meia de um dos melhores diretores vivos que estreou este ano, tivemos um amplo e diversos estilos, tons e vozes criativas. Documentários ao lado dos blockbusters, ao lado de dramas íntimos. Mas todos têm algo em comum: são esses os filmes que as pessoas assistirão daqui a 10, 20 ou 50 anos da maneira que quiserem e puderem.

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.

Vad gör ljudet för filmen? Kino går på djupet med hur bildmediet film egentligen låter och varför. Och inte minst, hur? Kino besöker Trampet på Chimney, ljudstudion där ljud till massor av filmer skapats. Och vad händer när ljudet ensamt ska skapa bilderna? Vi undersöker hur man gör film för de som inte kan se och gästas av regissören bakom dokuemntärfilmen "Jag ser dig", om att vara synskadad, skapad för synskadade. Dessutom intervjuer med bioaktuella resgissörer, Jane Pollard och Ian Forsyth som gjort en dokumentär om Nick Cave, 20,000 days on earth och en intervju med regissören Richard Ayoade som gjort The Double. Programledare Saman Bakthiari Producent Jenny Aschenbrenner
