Podcast appearances and mentions of Jeanie Finlay

On the Directors UK Podcast, journalist and filmmaker Shiori Itô discusses her debut feature documentary Black Box Diaries, In Conversation with Jeanie Finlay. Shiori shares how the documentary format gave her more freedom to tell her own story, and helped facilitate her own investigation into her sexual assault in an effort to prosecute her high-profile offender.

As November marks the TV premiere on BBC 2 of Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger, as well as a season of films on the BBC and iPlayer, Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode explore the films of these two titans of British Cinema.Film and culture writer, Lilian Crawford shares with Mark why the works of Powell and Pressburger are a matter of life and death, and how the duo's technicolour films took their cue from the worlds of ballet and opera. Mark also speaks to British filmmaker Jeanie Finlay, for whom Powell and Pressburger's films hold a strong personal allure. She discusses the technical wizardry and in-camera magic found across their productions, and how that has inspired her own image-making. Meanwhile, Kevin Macdonald, the Academy Award-winning filmmaker and grandson of Emeric Pressburger, shares with Ellen how some Powell and Pressburger films are nuanced examples of wartime propaganda, and why some still resonate and remain relevant to Britain today. Producer: Mae-Li Evans A Prospect Street production for BBC Radio 4

In this episode of Sync Music Matters I'm interviewing Jeanie Finlay Jeanie Finlay is a documentary filmmaker.  She has made films for HBO and the BBC including four commissions for the acclaimed BBC Storyville strand such as BIFA nominated The Great Hip Hop Hoax and BIFA winning Orion: The Man Who Would Be King She directed the Emmy Nominated Game of Thrones: Last Watch which was a behind the scenes look at the making of the final series.  Her most recent film, Your Fat Friend, is in cinemas now and is a documentary following author and blogger Aubry Gordon who writes about fat acceptance and anti fat bias.  During the course of this interview we also delve in to Jeanie's rich musical past and her general love of creating.

Send us a Text Message.This week I grabbed my good friend Ela Law from @elalawnutrition to chat about the Your Fat Friend documentary, by Jeanie Finlay which followed Aubrey Gordon across 6 years, since she released an anonymous blog from an account called @yrfatfriend .Aubrey has since written 2 New York Times Bestselling books (You Just Need to Lose Weight and What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat) and along with Michael Hobbes (adamantly NOT on instagram!) has created something truly special with the informative,  endearing and forever engaging Maintenance Phase podcast .Ela and I chat about weight bias and how it permeates our society.    Neither Ela nor I have lived experience of being in a fat body and both of us were truly touched by being able to see the world even for a brief time through Aubrey's eyes.At one point in the film, Aubrey alluded to the fact that she has been struggling with an eating disorder but really struggled to get the help and support she needed.  Eating disorders do not discriminate. They impact people of all body sizes,  of all ages,  ethnicities and genders. We chat about repairing our relationship with food AND finally finding peace with our bodies when we live in a dieting culture and thinness is a value praised above all else.  It is the air that we breathe and the sea that we swim in. Ela and I then segway into the world of Intuitive Eating.I hope you enjoy this episode and let us know what you think. If you can PLEASE find an opportunity to watch Your Fat Friend It is a triumph and Aubrey and Jeanie IRL are simply a joy to be around and were both SO generous with their time. Are you feeling stuck in the 'earn and burn' cycle with your exercise routine, or as summer approaches, are you feeling self-conscious about wearing a swimsuit on the beach? Maybe you just want to stop worrying so much about food or how your body looks.You are not alone and your body is NOT the problem Please reach out if you would like some support. We both have limited slots for Intuitive Eating Coaching, so get in touch with Christine or with Ela.AND if you enjoyed this episode, please share and follow the 'Find Your Strong podcast' and if you have time, write us a short review. It would honestly mean the world. Love to you all, Ela & Christine x

Plus-Sized Hearts starts its journey with a very special guest from Korea. Vivian Geeyang Kim is a true trailblazer in Korea's plus-size scene. After attempting to go see a showing of Jeanie Finlay's empowering documentary Your Fat Friend at the DMZ Doc Fest in Seoul I saw that Vivian was on the speakers panel after the showing.   After a couple of DMs and emails, Vivian and I ended up having dinner at a great burger place in a cool part of Seoul and the rest is history. Every time we meet, I learn something from her about staying true to yourself. She is unapologetic when it comes to making sure people (mostly women) in Korea feel seen and heard no matter what their body size. For the past 15 years Vivian has been chipping away at the Korean culture's tendency to completely turn away from people with larger bodies. She's been steadfast in her commitment to bring about awareness that people with larger bodies are people with hearts, feelings and have the right to do as they chose living in the society of Korea, and most importantly they have a right to live without feeling like they don't belong. Try not to tear up at the end when she shares what she does to keep her heart plus-sized. Vivian put her money where her heart is and started her own design house called im66100 and she shares what the name means in this episode. She's also been photographed in major fashion magazines such as Vogue and Elle. She appears regularly on TV talking about being plus-size in Korea.  This first episode of Plus-Size Hearts is one you don't want to miss! Here's where you can learn more about Vivian and her ongoing projects: Instagram: @plusmodelThreads: @plusmodelDesign house: www.im66100.comVivian's website: plusmodelkorea.comYoutube: @kimgeeyang You can learn more about me

In the first episode of season 19 Neil takes the reins solo, with Dario on sabbatical, for a conversation with one of the UK's leading filmmakers Jeanie Finlay, ahead of her popular and powerful new documentary Your Fat Friend, released in UK cinemas on Feb 9, 2024. Jeanie returns to the podcast having recorded a live conversation about her career to date and previous release, Seahorse (2019), at the film festival Neil co-directed in Luton, Filmstock. This conversation is wide-ranging. It covers her craft and cinematic process, her evolution and growth as a filmmaker, her commitment to creating more visibility for key emerging filmmaking roles around mental health and wellbeing, Fatness, the Internet, bias, being tender to yourself, embodiment and ethics. There is also moment where talk turns to her great friend Tom Butchart, the owner and star of Sound It Out [the shop and the film]. Your Fat Friend tells the story of Aubrey Gordon following her emergence as a writer on medium [here's a link to her first post as YrFatFriend, which Jeanie mentions in the conversation), through publishing her first book and becoming a hugely successful podcaster. It provides a profound, moving and challenging insight into a life lived online in a body that society takes umbrage with, showcasing Aubrey's courage to keep having a vital conversation about Fatness in the face of vitriolic hate and violence and the real cultural change she is at the vanguard of as a result. Like all of Jeanie's films, this is a film about those who are looked at but not seen and, like Seahorse, is a film about coming into being in a fuller way than was previously imagined by an incredible human being.

Ellen and Mark discuss the enduring screen presence of Elvis Presley, from Love Me Tender to Wild at Heart. One of the most hotly anticipated films this summer is Elvis - director Baz Luhrmann's biopic chronicling the singer's career and complicated relationship with manager Colonel Tom Parker. Committed Presley fan Mark discusses Elvis' prolific acting career with a couple of fellow obsessives - the actor Sanjeev Bhaskar, and journalist and screenwriter Ray Connolly. And Ellen explores how The King has lived on via film and TV in the 45 years since his death. She's joined by comedian and pop culture devotee Greg Proops and filmmaker Jeanie Finlay, whose 2015 documentary Orion: The Man Who Would Be King told the bizarre story of a masked Elvis soundalike. Also, movement director Polly Bennett talks about what she watched to help prepare actor Austin Butler for his starring role as Elvis in Luhrmann's film.

Welcome the Directors UK Podcast! In this episode, Paul Sng joins fellow director Jeanie Finlay to provide an X-Ray view of his documentary Poly Styrene: I am a Cliché.

This week's Pop Screen is about Silibil & Brains - and if your reaction was "Who the hell are Silibil & Brains"?, allow Jeanie Finlay's fascinating 2013 documentary The Great Hip Hop Hoax to explain. Finding themselves shut out of the rap industry for their Dundee origins, they decided to pretend they were from California. Ridiculously enough, it worked, and they were groomed for stardom until, inevitably, things started to unravel. This week's guest host is Andrew Young from Behold! (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/behold/id1508115927) podcast, helping Graham to unpick the intricacies of a story that has so much to say about the music world's quest for marketable authenticity at the expense of actual truth, as well as a time capsule of the post-Eminem early 2000s pop landscape. It is also a story that is really, really dumb.

Today we welcome award-winning Guardian journalist, writer and full-time single dad, Freddy McConnell. Freddy is perhaps most well-known for the film Seahorse: The Dad Who Gave Birth directed by acclaimed director Jeanie Finlay which documented his journey into fatherhood as a trans man. Freddy speaks to us about the empowering experience of realising he was trans, of coming off of testosterone to become pregnant, and how being trans is not necessarily a transition but a state of being.We also discuss the misinformation given to trans men about the effects of testosterone therapy on their fertility. I found this interview particularly fascinating given my work with testosterone deficiency syndrome in cis men. It was a really important reminder that our assumptions in the medical profession need to be challenged when it comes to treating trans bodies.Freddy talks about his childhood, the freedom he was given to make his own choices and the compromises he felt compelled to make. We talk about his experimentation with identity, about the difficulty in getting information about being trans 10 years ago and the struggle to get medical treatment - in cases it can be years until the first appointment, let alone starting treatment.Importantly, we look at the difference between treating trans men and cis men with testosterone and the evolution of understanding how it affects trans men. We discuss the changes that testosterone had on Freddy's body from hair to his own scent and then being read as male - a hugely affirming moment. Freddy shares how being cared for as a trans man being pregnant was rather uncomplicated, the midwife simply caring for the person in front of them and how the challenges of pregnancy were more from the lack of testosterone and the dysphoria rather than pregnancy.Seahorse is available to watch here.Freddy's work can be found on his website here.*We would love to hear from you: email us at hello@thepleasurepodcast.com or tweet us @ThePleasurePod.Please do rate, review, and share the podcast, it helps other people find us!*Social Media:Freddy McConnell: @FreddyMcConnellNaomi Sheldon: @NaomiSheldon1Anand Patel: @therealdranandFollow us at @ThePleasurePod and visit us at www.thepleasurepodcast.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This warm-hearted documentary SEAHORSE follows Freddy, a 30 year-old gay transgender man who yearns to start a family. However for Freddy this ordinary desire comes with unique challenges. Deciding to carry his own baby took years of soul searching, but nothing could prepare him for the reality of pregnancy, as both a physical experience and one that challenges society's fundamental understanding of gender, parenthood and family. He quickly realizes that what to him feels pragmatic, to others feels deeply confusing and confronting; this was not part of his plan. Against a backdrop of increasing hostility towards trans people the world over, Freddy is forced to confront his own naivety, mine unknown depths of courage and lean on every friend and family member who will stand by him. Made with unprecedented access and collaboration over three years, the film follows Freddy from preparing to conceive right through to birth. It is an intimate, audacious and lyrical story for the cinema about conception, pregnancy, birth and what makes us who we are. SEAHORSE is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jeanie Finlay (Game of Thrones, The Last Watch, Orion: The Man Who Would Be King). Jeanie Finlay joins us for a conversation on one trans man’s pioneering quest to fulfil an age-old desire: to start his own family. For news, screenings and updates go to: seahorsefilm.com

When Freddy started his transition seven years ago, his doctor told him he’d never be able to have his own child. But, he was wrong. Right now, many trans and nonbinary people are discovering the truth about their fertility and rethinking their family plans. Freddy talks to his queer super hero, Jacob, about their journeys to parenthood, the challenges of pregnancy, and the joys of having a kid. ---- The story of how Freddy became a dad is also told in the documentary Seahorse, directed by Jeanie Finlay, produced by the BBC and Grain Media, in association with Glimmer Films and The Guardian. www.seahorsefilm.com If you've been affected by any of the issues discussed please go to BBC Action Line where you can find resources available: https://www.bbc.co.uk/actionline BBC Action Line – LGBT: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/1nYWPTdMtKStFL2ztx1SV11/information-and-support-lgbt-issues Presented by Freddy McConnell Produced by Dasha Lisitsina Assistant Producer: Arlie Adlington Executive Producer: Russell Finch Sound Design: Phoebe Wang A Somethin’ Else Production for BBC Sounds

In this episode of the GenderGP podcast he discusses his journey and the role of the internet in enabling visibility, particularly in the case of trans men.

Welcome to our GenderGP Podcast, where we will be discussing some of the issues affecting the trans and non-binary community in the world today, together with my co-host Marianne Oakes, a trans woman herself, and our head of therapy.   Dr. Helen Webberley: Welcome, everybody. It's the last podcast of the year and one just before Christmas. So, for those of you listening before Christmas and New Year, Happy New Year and Happy Christmas to you all. I've got Freddy McConnell on with me. Freddy, I think perhaps it would best if you just introduce yourself and explain why you've kind of become a little bit famous over the last year. And just tell us a little bit about you and the things that you've been fighting for. Freddy McConnell: Sure.Well, God, yeah, it's been quite the year, I guess.Hopefully, maybe some people have seen Seahorse: The Dad Who Gave Birth, which is a documentary that I sort of instigated and then collaborated on with a team of filmmakers, primarily Jeanie Finlay who's the director. So that was released sort of early in 2019 and then had an amazing time taking it around to various festivals in the US and in Europe as well. And then, yeah, it was on the BBC most recently.And hopefully, we'll continue to have it live next year.It's going to hopefully be out in the states and available online. And otherwise, I would I suppose describe myself as a dad, first and foremost, and then for work,writer, podcaster, and have more recently started to self-identify otherwise as a campaigner, as opposed to just being called one. Yeah. So that's something that I'm embracing more and actually finding it interesting and sort of obviously important but also hard. Yeah. Dr. Helen Webberley: Yeah, I think we can all relate to that. I never tire of hearing people's gender stories, and, you know, kind of from the beginning to today. So, I just wanted to I mean I'm guessing that many of our listeners are the same. You know I find the whole story fascinating, whosever story it is. And I think it also helps for people who haven't met as many transgender people, as perhaps Marianne and I have, just again to feel it here that the kind of normalcy of a person's gender journey.So if you're willing, I'd be really interested in the kind of snapshot of your life and the feelings arou...

About two months ago we all exhaled after the completion of one of the biggest television shows of all time. Well...some of us exhaled and then inhaled real deep and then attacked their keyboards/smart phone with a deluge of opinions. We got some ourselves, but we also have lives too busy for constant internet commentary. We speak on the mic through the spirit of the Gods Old and New. Despite the ups and downs, Bob and Angela have a lot of love for the Game of Thrones show and the book series by George RR Martin. The achievement of working on something so big has the power to bring people together in a familial way. Angela and Bob peek behind the scenes for it’s final season with Jeanie Finlay’s HBO original documentary “Game of Thrones: The Last Watch”. It takes a village to build up and burn down a prop village. The hearts and minds of Game of Thrones go much deeper than the famous faces we’ve seen grow older on the show. How is it behind the smoke and mirrors and incest? This might be our nerdiest episode to date. But I bet that next month we will go full blown dork fest. Prepare yourself for the coming culture rot. Practice rolling your eyes. What is dead will never die. What is docced will keep on doccin’. https://documenteerspodcast.com/ https://www.instagram.com/documenteers/ The trailer: https://youtu.be/crPp0zizRDI Clegane roast: https://news.avclub.com/heres-5-minutes-of-game-of-thrones-hound-just-roasting-1835065133?utm_medium=sharefromsite&utm_source=avclub_copy&utm_campaign=top

On the latest episode of the Talkhouse Film Podcast, we celebrate the 25th anniversary re-release of Wayne's World with a conversation between the film's director, Penelope Spheeris – who also made the legendary trilogy of Decline of Western Civilization punk documentaries – and Jeanie Finlay, a maker of music docs herself and also a big Wayne's World fan. Over the course of their highly entertaining chat, the two discuss: all things Wayne's World, getting Ozzy Osbourne to make eggs in Decline Part II, IMDb errors, Spheeris' accidental career as a studio comedy director, the two mysterious documentary projects she's working on, exactly what she thought of Donald Trump when he made a cameo in Little Rascals, and much more.

It might be 2015, but when it comes to gender equality, we are only just emerging from the dark ages. In this session, we discussed the challenges facing women trying to forge a career in the independent documentary industry. While there are certainly glimmers of hope –a record number of women directors are featured at Doc/Fest this year – we can’t lose sight of the fact that this remains a male dominated world – as we looked for ways to redress the balance. With Cat Cooper, Corrina Antrobus, Leslee Udwin, Jeanie Finlay and Debra Zimmerm
