¡Fallas! ¡Fallas! ¡Fallas! ¡Fallas! Mientras sobrellevamos el trastorno de estrés postraumático que nos ha dejado la reciente celebración de las fiestas josefinas, en la nueva entrega de La Paella Rusa hacemos un repaso de los momentos más mágicos que nos han proporcionado estas celebraciones. Tenemos ninots, tenemos petardos, tenemos fuego, tenemos alcoholismo desaforado, tenemos masificación, tenemos verbenas, tenemos carpas, tenemos falleras, tenemos flores, tenemos 400 millones de churrerías callejeras, tenemos dramas vecinales y polémicas ciudadanas. ¡Tenemos de todo! ¿Y Madrid, eh? ¿Es que absolutamente nadie va a pensar en Madrid; en sus gentes, desventuras, anhelos y peripecias? Pues nos encantaría ofreceros un episodio dedicado íntegramente a la Taberna Garibaldi, pero aún no hemos podido catar sus manjares. Hasta que podamos opinar con propiedad del negroni Gramsci o el salmorejo partisano, hacemos un minuto y resultado de los sospechosos negocios de Ayuso y su amante bandido. No en vano, llevamos ya unos cuantos días saltando de simpática revelación en simpática revelación. De momento, además del temita de las comisiones por la venta de mascarillas, el intento fallido de vender vacunadas a un precio hinchadísimo y los milloncejos turbios por aquí y por allá, han parecido también un par de pisitos, un Maserati, un Porsche y un buen puñado de periodistas amenazados. Y parece que la cosa va para largo. No podemos contener la emoción por saber qué nueva sorpresa nos depara la Villa y Corte. La fiesta en Madrid no se acaba nunca. ¡Ah! Y también tenemos nuestra habitual dosis de urnas y papeletas. Por una parte, hablamos de las elecciones presidenciales de Rusia que tuvieron lugar del 15 al 17 de marzo. Así, como detalle curioso, Vladímir Putin – que resultó reelegido para un tercer mandato consecutivo– se hizo con la victoria por un ajustadísimo 87% de los votos. ¡Y todavía hay lenguas viperinas que hablan de fraude electoral! De la Madre Rusia viajamos al Mediterráneo para asomarnos un poquillo a la precampaña de los comicios autonómicos catalanes que se celebrarán el doce de mayo. Comentamos encuestas, posibles candidaturas y efectos de los resultados en el resto del Estado Por último, nuestra ya tradicional recomendación cultural. En esta semana, os proponemos… ¡consentimiento sexual, cultura de la violación, ritos de paso, adolescencia y guiris desfasando en no-lugares vacacionales! Hablamos de la película británica ‘How to have sex', dirigida y escrita por Molly Manning Walker y estrenada en el Festival de Cine de Cannes de 2023. A continuación, una brevísima sinopsis para poner a las personas paellísticas en situación: “Tres adolescentes británicas se van de vacaciones para celebrar sus ritos de iniciación: beber, salir de fiesta y ligar, en lo que debería ser el mejor verano de sus vidas”.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Min 4: EL FILTRO LUCHINI Vivir para ver. La borrasca Mónica y una cartelera de lo más versátil llevó a los cines españoles a 925.000 espectadores el pasado fin de semana y ahora el reto es igualar el que ha sido el mejor registro de lo que llevamos de año. Y los títulos encargados de mantener la racha son: Min 7: TRATAMOS DEMASIADO BIEN A LAS MUJERES La comedia negrísima española que acaba de llegar a las salas, por reparto (Carmen Machi, Antonio de la Torre, Luis Tosar, Oscar Ladoire o Gonzalo Castro) por la época en la que transcurre (1945. Posguerra española) y por el tono que se le intuye (comedia coral desenfadada) haría pensar en un regreso al cine de Berlanga. Pero lo que le ha pasado a Alberto Luchini con “Tratamos demasiado bien a las mujeres” es que, pese a esas similitudes, ve en la peli de Clara Bilbao más trazas de Alex de la Iglesia o incluso de Tarantino que de las comedias corales del gran Berlanga. Te hablamos de las luces y las sombras de la peli española más atractiva de la semana. Min 12: EL CLAN DE HIERRO Sean Durkin dirige con vigor y pulso firme a Zac Efron y Jeremy Allen White (The Bear) en “The Iron Claw”, una película cuya calidad, a juicio de Raquel Hernández, le debería haber valido más de una nominación en los últimos Oscar, ya que está fechada en 2023. Nuestra experta de Hobby Consolas aplaude el acierto de esta suerte de biopic sobre los hermanos Von Erich, que dedicaron su vida a la Lucha Libre y a preservar la unidad de su familia en los años 80. Min 16: HOW TO HAVE SEX Pese a su cartel, pese la belleza de sus jóvenes protagonistas e incluso pese a su título, la producción británica “How to have sex” es la tapada de la semana por no ser precisamente lo que parece. En el Filtro Luchini volvemos a hacer servicio público y te contamos por qué Molly Manning Walker convierte la zambullida de un grupo de chicas adolescentes en el mundo de la fiesta y la diversión nocturna en un tan durísimo como necesario golpe de realidad. Min 20: IMAGINARY: Oso demoniaco para hacer caja Huele a terreno pisado. No aporta nada al género. No disimula ser heredera de títulos como “Muñeco Diabólico”, “Five Nights at Freddy's” o “M3gan”, pero el título que convierte a un osito de dormitorio infantil en el adalid del mal aspira a ser la peli taquillera de la semana. Con todo, no escapará pertinente rapapolvo de nuestro Filtro Luchini. Min 25: EL CASO GOLDMAN Y el cine francés también se cuela en nuestra propuesta semanal con un intenso thriller judicial de dos horas, dirigido por Cédric Kahn, que ha llamado la atención de Alberto Luchini, que nos justifica por qué su visionado (aunque no llegará a todas las salas comerciales) puede merecer la pena. Min 27: LA CHAMPIONS DE LOS OSCARS Y contagiados por el reciente sorteo de la Champions League y el reparto de premios de los Oscar 2024 (que tendrá su pertinente chequeo a la quiniela EDC) planteamos a nuestros críticos conformar una Liga de Campeones de los Oscar para elegir a la mejor película premiada con el máximo galardón de Hollywood en los últimos 16 años. Desde “Slumdog Millionaire” hasta “EL discurso del Rey”, pasando por “The Artist” o en “Tierra Hostil” y sin olvidarnos de puntos de inflexión como “Parásitos” o “Todo a la vez en Todas Partes”. La lucha por el título a la mejor peli 2008-2024 se empieza a disputar ya en “Estamos de Cine”. ¿Tienes una favorita? Min 34: ESPECIAL BSO “EL CHICO Y LA GARZA” Y en el diván de las bandas sonoras, por derecho propio, gracias a uno de los efectos sorpresa de los últimos Oscar, se sentará la mejor animación japonesa y el mejor compositor vivo de ese país. El premio a “EL CHICO Y LA GARZA”, la presumible despedida del maestro MIYAZAKI, con música de JOE HISHAISHI, se ha convertido en la oportunidad perfecta para disfrutar de una de las mejores bandas sonoras de 2024.

Molly Manning Walker's debut feature, How To Have Sex, has been gathering critical acclaim at film festivals across the globe for its honest portrayal of youth culture and nuanced exploration of consent. The filmmaker joins Popcorn Podcast to talk about how open conversations about sex and female pleasure can let the pressure out of first sexual experiences.

Molly Manning Walker's debut feature HOW TO HAVE SEX takes place more than six decades after 1960's WHERE THE BOYS ARE, but as our discussion of the two films illuminates, frustratingly little has changed in that time when it comes to the blurred lines around consent, particularly in situations involving teenagers, alcohol, and social pressure around sex. We're joined once again by Marya E. Gates to discuss HOW TO HAVE SEX's deft navigation of that context before bringing WHERE THE BOYS ARE back in to discuss what has and hasn't changed about the desires and dangers of being a student on unchaperoned holiday. And in Your Next Picture Show, we offer up a film that could form a triple feature with this week's pairing, Céline Sciama's GIRLHOOD.

If you don't know already, Molly Manning Walker's feature debut How To Have Sex (2023) has taken the world by storm.

Speaking with host Elliot, Molly shares how our stereotypical view of Gen-Z is limiting discussions on consent and why cinema can help reframe these conversations, especially when we watch films communally.

Fanagan's accolades include: A British Independent Film Award nominee (Best Sound for How to Have Sex) An Emmy nominee (Outstanding Sound Editing for a Series for Game of Thrones) A Golden Reel Award winner (Best Sound Editing - Short Form Sound Effects and Foley in Television for Game of Thrones and nominee (Outstanding Achievement in Sound Editing - Foreign Language Feature for The Quiet Girl) BAFTA Television Craft Award (Sound: Fiction for Normal People) How to Have Sex was written and directed by Molly Manning Walker.

Today on Script Apart, we're heading to Malia with Molly Manning Walker, writer-director of How To Have Sex. Since wowing audiences at Cannes last summer, the sun-sea-and-consent drama has proved a box office hit, been hailed as one of the strongest feature debuts by a British filmmaker in recent year and sparked long-overdue, nuanced conversations about the attitudes towards sex that young people inherit. The film tells the tale of Tara, a sixteen-year-old played by Mia McKenna-Bruce, on a rite-of-passage summer holiday blowout with friends while she awaits school exam results. What begins as a sun-soaked adventure, full of borrowed hair straighteners, karaoke and bright-blue-coloured cocktails, soon becomes something bleaker when the girls meet a group of lads in the holiday rental apartment opposite them. Amid the thumping music and blinding lights of Malia's club scene, a taboo-shattering expose of everything wrong with the way teenagers are encouraged to view sex unfolds – and it's absolutely heartbreaking.Molly wrote the film while revisiting memories of going on a number of clubbing holidays herself between sixteen and eighteen, and realising what little room there was for discussion about the pressuring sexual elements of those trips and the harrowing experiences they can result in. When she was the victim of a sexual assault at age sixteen, she remembers “wanting to talk about it. But I'd walk into rooms and it would suck the air out of the room. How are people supposed to move on if no one's allowed to talk about it?” How To Have Sex is a movie that does to talk about it – and does so movingly without ever lurching into lecturing or sentimentality.In the spoiler-filled interview you're about to hear, Molly break down key scenes from the film, including the heart-wrenching final exchange in the airport between Tara and Skye – what isn't being said in that moment, and why. We talk about what she's learned about how global the problems depicted in How To Have Sex are by the response to film beyond Britain – and how working on this film at the same time as Scrapper, Charlotte Regan's brilliant surrealist comedy set out on a UK council estate – taught her about the necessity of female coming-of-age stories.

Mia McKenna-Bruce is an English actress. Her performance in the film “How To Have Sex” is, rightfully, being spoken about with many superlatives. Subtle, controlled, thoroughly alive, deeply impacting, it is a star-making turn. There's a scene where her character, Tara, is simply walking down the street, and it's something of a revelation. It won her the BIFA for Best Lead Performance. On this episode, she breaks down the ingredients that helped her deliver this work—an extensive audition process to find her co-stars that allowed her time to play; complete trust in the director, Molly Manning Walker, and everyone on the crew; a feeling of total ownership of the character; a “360 set” that allowed for full emersion into Tara's world, a sense of obligation to “get this right” for everyone it will impact, and much more. “How To Have Sex” is out in limited release. Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from Filmmaker Magazine. In each episode, host Peter Rinaldi invites one working actor to do a deep dive into their unique process, psychology, and approach to the craft. Follow Back To One on Instagram

Today's episode of Girls On Film is about the winner of the Un Certain Regard prize at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, How to Have Sex. Anna Smith is joined by Molly Manning Walker, who wrote and directed How to Have Sex, and Mia McKenna-Bruce, whose performance as Tara earned her the BIFA for Best Lead Performance and Best Actress at the European Film Awards. The film shows Tara and her two best friends from school, Skye (Lara Peake) and Em (Enva Lewis), celebrating the end of their GCSE exams on a girls trip to Malia. In a flurry of neon mini dresses, fish bowl cocktails and an intriguing group of eighteen-year-olds in the same holiday complex, the girls navigate the worlds of sex, consent and self-discovery. How to Have Sex has been hailed by viewers as a vibrant and authentic depiction of the agonies, and ecstasies of girlhood, and in this episode Mia and Molly talk about the filming process, as well as the film's impact on viewers, from critics at Cannes to teenagers in the classroom. Molly talks about the importance of building meaningful backstories for all her characters, and creating a ‘360 degree' set to give her cast an authentic background to work against. The pair recall the excitement of working on a project like this, where club nights and football matches were a common fixture among cast and crew. They also speak to Anna about the ‘bittersweet' response to the film, citing how it has sparked meaningful conversations about sex and consent, but also how it is exposing just how many people have been affected by the issues that How to Have Sex explores. How to Have Sex will be streaming exclusively on MUBI from 29 December 2023 and Girls On Film listeners can watch it with 30 days free at mubi.com/girlsonfilm Other series mentioned in this episode: I May Destroy You (Michaela Coel, 2020) Sex Education (Laurie Nunn, 2019) Become a patron of Girls On Film on Patreon here: www.patreon.com/girlsonfilmpodcast Follow us on socials: www.instagram.com/girlsonfilm_podcast/ www.facebook.com/girlsonfilmpodcast www.twitter.com/GirlsOnFilm_Pod www.twitter.com/annasmithjourno Watch Girls On Film on the BFI's YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLX…L89QKZsN5Tgr3vn7z Girls On Film is an HLA production.

How to Have Sex | Feiern, Freundschaft, F*cken Nach der Party ist bekanntlich auch immer vor der Party. Das wissen auch drei Teenagerinnen, die hoffen, nach dem Schulabschluss zusammen den besten Urlaub ihres Lebens erleben zu können. Und natürlich mit den britischen Jungs, die sie bei ihrer Ankunft kennenlernen, ordentlich zu feiern, zu bechern und Nächte durchzumachen. Doch auch wenn "How to Have Sex" zunächst den ausgelassenen Exzess und eine feuchtfröhliche Partywelt präsentiert, so steckt auf den zweiten Blick doch mehr dahinter. Zwar dreht sich das Drama von Langfilmdebütantin Molly Manning Walker wenig überraschend um die Höhen und Tiefen des Erwachsenenwerdens und - noch weniger verwunderlich - natürlich um Sex. Doch geht es dabei auch um die Erwartungen und den Druck aus dem sozialen Umfeld, die damit einhergehen. Stu und Lida sind zwar beide eher erklärte Partymuffel, durften sich "How to Have Sex" aber trotzdem schon vorab ansehen, bevor er nach teils hymnischen Kritiken auf internationalen Festivals, darunter Cannes, nun am 7. Dezember auch in den deutschen Kinos zu sehen ist. Der Thematik zum Trotz, haben beide aber recht unterschiedlich Perspektiven auf den Film. Wie diese genau aussehen bzw. sich anhören, das erfahrt ihr, wenn ihr das Endgerät eures Vertrauens aufdreht und auf Play drückt. Viel Spaß mit der neuen Folge vom Tele-Stammtisch!

First up are writer/director Molly Manning Walker and songwriter, producer, DJ and composer James Jacob - who goes by the professional soubriquet of Jakwob. They join Edith to discuss Molly's powerful and important debut feature, How To Have Sex, which has already scooped a major award at Cannes.

Captured with luminous visuals and a pitch-perfect soundtrack, Manning Walker's directorial debut paints a painfully familiar portrait of young adulthood, and how first sexual experiences should – or shouldn't – play out. How To Have Sex stars Screen Stars of Tomorrow 2023 Mia McKenna-Bruce (Persuasion, Kindling) and BAFTA-nominated Samuel Bottomley (Somewhere Boy, Ladhood), alongside Lara Peake (Mood, Brave New World), Shaun Thomas (Ali & Ava, The Long Shadow), and newcomers Enva Lewis and Laura Ambler.

Ellen and Mark explore Brits abroad in the movies, taking a look at everything from 1972's Carry on Abroad to 2023's Cannes prize-winner How To Have Sex. Mark talks to Steve Chibnall, Professor of British Cinema at De Montfort University, about some of the most notable examples of Brits on holiday in 20th century cinema. They discuss the mid-century travelogue trend, what British holiday films can tell us about national identity and class, and how 1989's Shirley Valentine stands apart from other films in the genre. Ellen looks at two more recent examples of the British holiday film, speaking first to director Molly Manning Walker about her debut feature How To Have Sex. Molly reveals how the resort of Malia proved the perfect setting for the film, which follows three teenage girls navigating the complexities of sex and consent on a rite of passage clubbing holiday. And Ellen then speaks to actor Samantha Morton about her starring role in director Lynne Ramsay's 2002 cult classic Morvern Callar. They discuss Samantha's own experiences as a Brit abroad, her close working relationship with Ramsay, and why Morvern Callar remains so influential two decades on from its first release.

Notre critique du film "How to Have Sex" réalisé par Molly Manning Walker avec Mia McKenna-Bruce, Samuel Bottomley. Un film présenté en sélection Un Certain Regard au Festival de Cannes 2023. Regardez l'émission sur YOUTUBE : https://bit.ly/3nm7Oy9 --- Titre : How to Have Sex Sortie : Prochainement De : Molly Manning Walker Avec : Mia McKenna-Bruce, Samuel Bottomley. Synopsis : Afin de célébrer la fin du lycée, Tara, Skye et Em s'offrent leurs premières vacances entre copines dans une station méditerranéenne ultra fréquentée. Le trio compte bien enchaîner les fêtes, cuites et nuits blanches, en compagnie de colocs anglais rencontrés à leur arrivée. Pour la jeune Tara, ce voyage de tous les excès a la saveur électrisante des premières fois… jusqu'au vertige. Face au tourbillon de l'euphorie collective, est-elle vraiment libre d'accepter ou de refuser chaque expérience qui se présentera à elle ? #CINECAST #Podcast #Cannes2023
Amikor rokonaink és ismerőseink megkérdezik, hogy milyen filmeket nézünk idén Cannes-ban, legegyszerűbb mindig az Indiana Jones és a sors tárcsáját említeni, hiszen Indyt mindenki ismeri, szereti és kapcsolódik hozzá pár nosztalgikus élménye. A nosztalgia azonban nem elég, hogy elvigye a hátán az első Spielberg nélküli részt. Az életműdíj Arany Pálmával jutalmazott Harrison Fordot digitálisan fiatalították meg, de mégsem értjük miért volt szüksége rá, hogy elvállalja ezt a fantáziátlan és felesleges folytatást. Akiben még reménykedtünk, hogy megmentheti Indiana Jones legújabb kalandjait, az a Fleabag óta kizárólag hollywoodi blockbustereken gazdagodó Phoebe Waller-Bridge és ő nem is vette félvállról a női főszerepet. Végsősoron azonban az ő karaktere fogalmazza meg a film ars poeticáját: pénz mindenek felett. Másik fontos problémánk a filmmel, ahogy azt a podcastben részletesen kifejtjük, hogy már a nácik sem elég nácik benne. Ezzel kapcsolatos hiányérzetünket azonban gyorsan pótolta Jonathan Glazer (A felszín alatt, Születés) hátborzongató új filmje, a The Zone of Interest. A vizuális bravúrjairól híres egykori videoklip-művész (ő kergette meg Kovács Lajost a Radiohead zenéjére) egyszerű koncepciót valósított meg: nézzük meg közelről egy náci család mindennapjait, akik konkrétan Auschwitz szomszédságában élnek. Pompás kertjükben medencés partyt tartanak, büszkén próbálgatják a haláltáborból összeszedett bundákat és csak néha kell azon bosszankodniuk, hogy hamusak lettek a gyerekek a patakban lubickolástól. Glazer nem sokkol, hanem kíméletlen precizitással bemutatja, hogy a holokauszt nem mindenkinek az a világégés volt, aminek a Schindler listája vagy a Saul fia alapján képzelnénk, hanem igenis volt, akiknek karrier és egzisztenciális lehetőség. Nagyon csodálkoznánk, ha ez az abszurd humorú és kegyetlenül aktuális remekmű nem kapná meg a főbb díjak valamelyikét (az abszurd humorra és kegyetlenségre nagyon is vevő) Ruben Östlund zsűrijétől. Látszólag könnyedebb, de szintén elképesztően hatásos és aktuális film volt a How to Have Sex, amivel kapcsolatban rögtön elkezdtünk ötletelni arról, hogy milyen magyar címmel kellene bemutatni. Három tizenéves brit lány görögországi nyaralásáról szól, ahol a legfőbb céljuk minél többet inni, bulizni és szexelni. Utóbbi persze nem úgy sikerül, ahogy képzelték és az elsőfilmes Molly Manning Walker bámulatos érzékenységgel dolgozza fel a beleegyezés elmosódó határaival kapcsolatos problémakört. Mindezt úgy, hogy soha nem vált át prédikációba vagy kioktatásba és hősnőit lehetetlen nem megszeretni a végére. A nap sztártalálkozása számunkra Cate Blanchett volt, aki a Tár elképesztő diadalútja után egy aprócska ausztrál filmet emelt fel a jelenlétével. A The New Boy ugyan elsikkadt az imént emlegetett két mestermű között, de Blanchettet mindig jó látni és szép tőle, hogy hollywoodi szupersztárként is támogatja a hazája filmgyártását. Filmek, amiket pénteken néztünk: Indiana Jones és a sors tárcsája (James Mangold) How To Have Sex (Molly Manning Walker) The New Boy (Warwick Thornton) The Zone of Interest (Jonathan Glazer) Jó szórakozást hozzá, és ha tetszik az adás, kérlek támogasd a Filmklub podcastot a Patreonon, ahol beállíthatod, hogy havonta hány dollárt szeretnél erre szánni. Nagyon köszi előre is! A borítóképet Varga Emma rajzolta.
My guest this week is the incredibly talented and prolific sound designer and mixer Ines Adriana. Ines studied for an MA in sound design at NFTS and has been credited on over 40 projects since 2020, including some incredible short films like Ruth Greenberg's RUN, Molly Manning Walker's, GOOD THANKS, YOU?, Theo James Krekis' PRAM SNATCHER, Nia Childs' HOME, as well as documentaries such as THE CATHEDRAL and SELF-PORTRAIT. Ines' work has screened at Sundance, SXSW, Cannes, BFI London Film Festival and Sheffield Doc/Fest. She is a Film London Lodestar 2022, a Berlinale Talent alumni and a member of the BFI NETWORK x BAFTA crew. We talk about how she discovered a passion for sound, finding the confidence and the skills to call herself a sound designer, her ‘fever dream' experience studying at NFTS, how her career picked up momentum and how sound design can facilitate and augment story. I always enjoy the craft-centred episodes because I'm such a rookie in that space and it's such a fun opportunity to learn about a completely different area of filmmaking, so I appreciate Ines' time and I hope you get something from our conversation.
My guest this week is Ruth Greenberg, an award-winning screenwriter and director whose directorial debut RUN, a short film starring Niamh Algar from CENSOR, is currently showing on Short of the Week. The film was backed by Film4 and BFI NETWORK and was long listed for a BIFA in 2021. As a screenwriter, Ruth's prehistoric horror, THE ORIGIN, is in post-production with Escape Plan Productions - the company who made SAINT MAUD and she's also working on a medieval horror with director Nora Fingscheidt (SYSTEM CRASHER, THE UNFORGIVABLE) and producer Philippa Tsang at DCM. Ruth and I had a great chat about completing a PhD in screenwriting, getting an agent and what that relationship is like, how she prepared to direct RUN and collaborated with director of photography and former podcast guest Molly Manning Walker to achieve the subjectivity and kineticism required of the story, what a writing day might look like for her, how she likes to situates herself in the setting or place of a story and how she deals with rejection. I think there are some really vital thoughts that Ruth expresses on writing genre and writing in general, and not being hemmed in by how you ought to write. **TW: discussions of assault** There are few housekeeping notes before we get to the interview. The first of those is that there is mild discussion of violence against women in the context of Ruth's short film Run and we mention the death of Sarah Everard, so if for whatever reason you don't feel comfortable listening to that, feel free to skip the episode or rejoin us around the 20-min mark. The other thing to say in relation to that film is that it's on Short of the Week and to coincide with that launch, Ruth its raising money via JustGiving for Woman's Trust who provide mental health and support services to women affected by domestic abuse. I've linked to that page in the show notes, so if you'd like to donate, you can do so there. And I would obviously also recommend watching Ruth's very powerful short film. This was recorded via zoom and there are occasional background noises, but otherwise I hope you enjoy this conversation. This episode 104 of Best Girl Grip.
Today I'm sharing another in-between season bonus episode that I recorded live as part of the BFI's Woman With a Movie Camera Summit in July. My guest was Molly Manning Walker, a cinematographer, writer and director. Molly trained as a cinematographer and graduated from NFTS in 2019, after which her graduation film November 1st was long-listed for a BAFTA. As a DP, she works across a variety of formats including documentary, fiction and advertising, and she has just finished shooting her first TV series, Superhoe, written by Nicole Lecky and directed by Dawn Shadforth and she is in prep for Scrapper directed by Charlotte Regan. Molly's debut writing and directing project was the short film Good Thanks, You? which premiered at the Semaine De La Critique program at the Cannes Film Festival. Her follow up short film, conceived and created during the pandemic, The Forgotten C, was BIFA Nominated. Meanwhile, her debut feature film How To Have Sex is currently in development with Film4 and Molly was recently awarded the Next Step Prize at Cannes. I thought it was a quite a no-bullshit conversation - Molly is quite young, and to mind, very successful and on a very exciting trajectory, but she made it very clear that has only been achieved through a very strong work ethic. Listening back to it for the edit I think it's full of quite practical advice and we talk about how limitations can be creatively useful, what support looks like on-set and how counselling and intimacy co-ordination were crucial to the making of Molly's short film Good Thanks, You? As well as discussing Molly's transition from shooting to directing, why she makes a habit of only using one light and what she considers to be the biggest learning curve of her career so far. I hope you enjoy listening to it!
