The Old Oak will be Ken Loach's last feature film and Sharuna Sagar was granted exclusive access behind the scenes of this landmark movie. She joins the 86-year-old director on his swansong as he brings together his loyal team for one last time. As with his previous two films, I, Daniel Blake and Sorry We Missed You, Ken returns to the North East of England, to tell the story of Syrian refugees who have been housed in an ex-mining village. With him are his long-standing partners, producer Rebecca O'Brien and writer Paul Laverty, and they reveal the secrets of Loach's success, with films like Kes, Cathy Come Home and The Wind That Shakes The Barley.
In this Film Ireland podcast, Gemma Creagh talks to Mark Forbes, Director of Quiet on Set: The Class Division in the Film Industry. Filmmaker Mark Forbes examines classism that has plagued the UK film industry for decades and through the lens of individuals from working-class backgrounds as we observe the challenges they encounter when attempting to enter the field. The film features actors Maxine Peake and Vicky McClure, writer Paul Laverty and filmmakers Sean McAllister and Kolton Lee. Filmed between July 2023 & July 2024, Quiet on Set: The Class Division in the Film Industry is currently being edited.
It's a classic case of head versus heart as Ian and David take on The Old Oak!The guys have very different takes on the (purported) final film by esteemed director Ken Loach, in which a young Syrian refugee named Yara (Ebla Mari) and her family move into an impoverished Northern England former mining town in 2016. Yara befriends TJ (Dave Turner), the owner of the titular pub, who is caught between loyalty to his xenophobic friends/patrons and the instinct to look out for these new, well-meaning strangers.In this spoilerific discussion, Ian and David dig into Loach and screenwriter Paul Laverty's effective use of acting, aesthetics, and mood in crafting their sympathetic, pro-immigrant "message movie"--one that paints all attendant concerns about numbers, culture, and economics as strictly the domain of alcoholic racist idiots.Is this, as the filmmakers likely thought of it, "the movie we need right now"? Or is it a polemic disguised as a (very well executed) slice-of-life drama?Pull up a stool, pour yourself a drink, and find out!Subscribe, like, and comment to the Kicking the Seat YouTube channel, and check out kickseat.com for multiple movie podcasts each week!Show LinksWatch the Old Oak trailer.As mentioned in the show, The 11th Chicago Critics Film Festival kicks off this Friday (May 3rd) at the Music Box Theatre.

Que nadie duerma es el último trabajo de Antonio Méndez Esparza con él y con su protagonista Malena Alterio charlamos de esta cinta basada en la novela homónima de Juan José Millás, y con la que Malena conduce su primer protagonista en una carrera que la lleva directamente al Goya. Un thriller psicológico, con dramas cotidianos. Otra de las cintas en las que nos detenemos es La ermita, el segundo trabajo de Carlota Pereda en el que vuelve a jugar con el terror pero desde un plano más sutil. Con Carlota Pereda y Belén Rueda, su protagonista, hablamos de esta mezcla perfecta entre drama y lo sobrenatural. Compartimos micrófono con ellos en la Seminci y hoy los recordamos, porque El viejo roble de Ken Loach y su inseparable guionista Paul Laverty, llega a la gran pantalla. La película más luminosa de este director que retrata una de las zonas más deprimidas de Durham. No dejamos los festivales porque el de Hamburgo la premió, también el de San Sebastián, con dos galardones. Dirigida por Isabel Herguera, llega a las salas y a De película El Sueño de la Sultana, inspirada en un cuento de ciencia ficción que nos lleva a un viaje mágico por la India en busca de Ladyland, la utopía de las mujeres. La imagen permanente, fue la gran triunfadora de la Seminci, Laura Ferrás se ha convertido en la primera directora española en ganar la espiga de oro y lo hace con una película en catalán, una cinta diferente, muy radical, dónde confronta dos generaciones de una familia, que igual te conmueve como te hace reír. Amanece es otra propuesta interesante, la ópera prima de Juan Francisco Viruega, protagonizada por Aura Garrido, Iria del Río e Isabel Ampudia, una historia generacional, con las relaciones sentimentales y el paisaje almeriense como telón de fondo. Todo esto además del resto de la cartelera, hablaremos del Festival de Sevilla con su director Manuel Cristóbal, del festival de Gijón, tendremos Marian Álvarez la actriz protagonista y guionista de Lobo, película inaugural, además de la colaboración de Luis Alegre, las mejores series con Pedro Calvo y su participación.

Efter 60 år av arbetarklasskildringar tackar den ikoniske brittiske filmskaparen Ken Loach för sig - med en sista film. P1 Kulturs filmreporter Emma Engström har träffat honom. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Vid 87 års ålder har Ken Loach nu gjort sin sista långfilm. ”The Old Oak” utspelar sig på en av många brittiska pubar som stänger på grund av ökade kostnader och färre kunder. Eftersom det är en Ken Loach-film handlar det om arbetarklassens problem, betraktade genom hans och manusförfattaren Paul Lavertys socialistiskt färgade lins. En lins som gett honom en massa priser och en trogen publik, men som fått kritiker att kalla honom Englandshatare, galen marxist och till och med antisemit. Emma Engström intervjuar Ken Loach och Paul Laverty och nystar upp den röda tråden genom en 60-årig filmkarriär.Producent: Anna Tullberg

I tio avsnitt berättas historien om Sveriges tillblivelse, från istiden fram till idag. Detta med hjälp av 300 experter och skådespelaren Simon J Berger. GRETHE ROTTBÖLL: VI HAR MEDLEMMAR SOM ÄR RÄDDA FÖR HOT OCH HATI förra veckan skrev Sveriges författarförbunds ordförande och vice ordförande, Grethe Rottböll och Per Wirtén, en debattartikel där de konstaterar att judiska kulturskapare i Sverige ställer in sin medverkan i olika evenemang på grund av rädsla för hot och hat. Och att arrangörer i sin tur ställer in medverkan av judiska författare på grund av den förhöjda hotbilden. ”Vi kan aldrig acceptera att författare tvingas stanna hemma på grund av hot och hat. Vi uppmanar skolor och bibliotek att bjuda in judiska författare,” skriver de i debattartikeln. Grethe Rottböll berättar för P1 Kulturs reporter Lina Kalmteg varför uppmaningen att anlita judiska författare är så nödvändig just nu.

The Old Oak, which is playing in UK cinemas as this podcast is released, is the final collaboration between director Ken Loach and screenwriter Paul Laverty. The pair join regular host Simon Brew for a very special episode of the STUDIOCANAL Presents podcast. Ken and Paul take us into the making of the film, why those chose to tackle it in the first place, and how they went about putting it together. The far-reaching conversation goes through casting right through to Ken Loach's last day on set. True story, too: there's a moment when Ken Loach also teases Simon about his choice of football team. The Old Oak is out now.
The podcast is fully back up and running again, and this time, we turn our attention to the return of Hannibal Lecter. 2001's Hannibal was the long-awaited return of Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter to the big screen, following 1991's The Silence Of The Lambs. But the original director didn't return. The original screenwriter didn't return. One of the two Oscar-winning stars didn't return. And a chance meeting in Malta - as Ridley Scott was shooting Gladiator - was what helped push things forward.The gestation of I, Daniel Blake was a little more straightforward, as writer Paul Laverty and director Ken Loach went about their familiar process: this time, though, they'd be making a film with fairly quick ramifications. What's more, casting a lead actor who was just on the verge of jacking it all in...---Find Simon on Twitter and Bluesky at @simonbrew, and the podcast can be found at @filmstories Hosted on Acast.

RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjardeng MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands for the next in his regular Connect Radio theatre reviews. This week Vidar was reviewing the stage adaptation of Ken Loach's 2016 award-winning film, ‘I DANIEL BLAKE' by Comedian, Playwright and Actor Dave Johns who also played the lead role of Daniel in Ken Loach's film as the production visited the Birmingham Repertory Theatre. Professional Audio Describer Jonathan Nash provided the live description for both the dry run and the audio described performance at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre. ‘I, Daniel Blake' is adapted by Dave Johns from the film directed by Ken Loach, written by Paul Laverty, and produced by Rebecca O'Brien for Sixteen Films. Dan is a carpenter. A Geordie through and through. Just on the mend after a heart attack. Katie has just arrived from London. Finally got a council house for her and the kids. A fresh start. ‘I, Daniel Blake' is one of the most important stories of a generation. A glimpse behind the headlines and the stark reality of what happens when the political system is stacked against you. With 14.5 million people living in poverty in the UK, this is not fiction. It is reality. A touching and vital story of how people come together in the face of adversity and how sometimes creating a family to support you just isn't enough. The show is adapted for stage by Dave Johns who played Daniel Blake in the award winning 2016 film. Presented by Northern Stage, Birmingham Rep, ETT, Oldham Coliseum and tiny dragon Productions, in association with Cardboard Citizens. Age Guideline 12+ More about the tour of ‘I DANIEL BLAKE' can be found on either the northern Stage website - https://northernstage.co.uk/whats-on/i-daniel-blake-2/ Or the English Touring Theatre Company's website - https://ett.org.uk/our-work/i-daniel-blake/ Image: RNIB Connect Radio Bright Green 20th Anniversary Logo
We're talking about the first ever stage adaptation of Ken Loach's and Paul Laverty's multi-award winning 2016 film I, Daniel Blake. The production, which is touring the UK, opened at Northern Stage Newcastle to rave critical reviews and passionate audience reactions. Dave Johns, who adapted it for the stage, played Daniel in the original film, winning Best Actor at the British Independent Awards and Best Newcomer at the Empire Awards for his performance. Davey Nellist, who plays Daniel in this new stage version, is best known for his roles as Mike Stamford in Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch and more recently in the TV series Stonehouse with Matthew McFadden. Dave and Davey tell us how the play is deliberately being hailed as non-fiction and a very real story about poverty and homelessness in Newcastle today. The city had one foodbank in 2016 but now has seven. Dave also tells us how he landed the part in the movie, having been a comedian and formerly a bricklayer. I, Daniel Blake tours till mid-November to Birmingham, Manchester, Exeter, Liverpool, Durham, Leeds, Oxford, Edinburgh, Stratford, Northampton, Coventry and Guildford, before returning to Northern Stage in September.

Ecoutez d'autres épisodes et programmes : lesbonnesondes.ma L'Afterwork de cette semaine est placé sous le signe de l'écriture : qu'elle soit cinématographique, littéraire ou théâtrale, les deux invités de Hamza Lyoubi et Mehdi El Kindi voguent entre les mots, les caméras et les continents. Installée au Maroc depuis 2007, Amira Géhanne-Khalfallah a autant de vies que de talents : dans son Algérie natale, elle fait des études de biologie cellulaire et moléculaire avant de glisser dans le journalisme, puis de laisser sa plume aller vers le théâtre, le roman et le cinéma. La journaliste qu'elle a été a écrit dans les colonnes qui ont, avant elle, accueilli Kateb Yacine ou Albert Camus. La dramaturge qu'elle est a emmené ses pièces partout, du Mali à la France, notamment à Avignon. L'écrivaine qu'elle est également a publié son premier roman, Le Naufrage de la Lune, aux éditions Barzakh (2018). Et en 2020, la réalisatrice qu'elle est tout autant a reçu, pour son film El Sghayra, une mention spéciale du jury Enfants de la compétition Génération Kplus à la Berlinale. Si Amira Géhanne-Khalfallah a décidé de s'installer au Maroc, c'est parce qu'elle a rêvé de la Kasbah des Oudayas, à Rabat. Et si Reda Lahmouid a décidé de s'installer à Montréal, c'est pour poursuivre ses rêves de cinéma, après une carrière confortable et respectée de directeur de création dans le monde de la publicité à Casablanca. Scénariste et réalisateur, ce qu'il préfère et aspire à faire, c'est marquer les esprits en racontant des histoires puisées dans des thématiques de société. En attendant, celui qui a signé plusieurs courts-métrages et réalisé des clips pour Nabyla Maân, Sara Moulablad ou encore Barathon Lane jongle entre plusieurs scénarios et projets, tirant le meilleur du fait d'avoir « le cul entre deux chaises ». Un épisode où l'on évoque des personnages qui ne vont pas là où leur auteure veut les mener, des articles de presse collés sur les murs d'une Algérie encore blessée, un confinement à Istanbul, le trac de la première œuvre et de sa réception par le public, et des références à Martin Scorsese, Paul Laverty, Ken Loach, Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine ou encore Leftah… Bonne écoute !

‘Looking For Eric' is a pretty unique film. A postal worker from Manchester in the middle of a personal crisis suddenly finds himself talking to the apparition of the legendary French player Eric Cantona, and attempts to turn his life around in order to have another shot at happiness. Paul Laverty's screenplay is a reflection on aging, memory, mistakes, community, family and football. There was plenty to discuss in this episode, and I was joined by Andrew Graves, the author of the new book ‘Welcome to the Cheap Seats: Silver Screen Portrayals of the British Working Class'. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about this branch of cinema, from ‘Saturday Night and Sunday Morning' to ‘This is England'.

Principal photography began in September 2018 in the Newcastle area in north-east England. It was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival.

An opportunity to wrestle back some independence appears with a shiny new van and the chance to run a franchise as a self employed delivery driver. It's hard work, and his wife's job as a carer is no easier. The family unit is strong but when both are pulled in different directions everything comes to breaking point. -------------------- FOLLOW US -------------------- NADIA SAWALHA & FAMILY https://www.instagram.com/nadiasawalhaandfamily.com http://www.twitter.com/nadiasawalha For more movie news follow: POPCORN JUNKIES: https://www.instagram.com/thepopcornjunkies elle@doghouse-media.co.uk --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/popcorn-junkies/message
Felicity Beckett talks to celebrated screenwriter Paul Laverty about his new film, Sorry We Missed You, directed by Ken Loach, in cinemas now. Set in Newcastle, Ken Loach’s new tale of predicament is about a family struggling to get on the housing ladder. In the Loach tradition, it’s fierce, open and angry: a film about the real human cost of our economic development. Ricky is a labourer, proud of never having been on the dole, and his wife, Abby, is a contract nurse and carer. Despite working longer and harder, they realise they will never have independence or their own home. As their debts increase and as Abby faces exploitative pressures at work, even for a strong, loving family, life is becoming toxic. So, when the app revolution offers Ricky a golden opportunity, it’s now or never.
This week, we take delivery of Ken Loach's latest, Sorry We Missed You and talk to the director himself. Plus, 37 years later, we return to the Overlook Hotel for The Shining sequel Doctor SleepDirector Ken Loach teams once again with I, Daniel Blake screenwriter Paul Laverty for another indictment of the capitalist forces shaping modern Britain. Ricky is dreaming of better things for his family when he becomes a delivery van driver. But as an ‘independent contractor', he's working in unsparing conditions, just like his wife Abbie, a care nurse, both of them on zero hours contracts. Living like this means that they're pushed to the brink, and their world falls apart when their teenage son starts to go off the rails.Whatever happened to Danny Torrance, the gifted young boy from The Shining? It's a question that must have vexed Stephen King enough to produce a sequel 37 years later. In Doctor Sleep, a grown-up Danny (Ewan McGregor) finds himself in the role of protector to a young girl on the run from a cult that is hell-bent on harvesting her gift.Discussing the films this week are Jake Cunningham, Sam Howlett, Kelly Powell and Ella KempFollow the team on Social Media:@jakehcunningham - Jake@samhowlett_1 - Sam@ks_powell - Kelly@ella_kemp - EllaProduced by Jake CunninghamEdited by Mark Towers Hosted on Acast.

After a packed-out film screening of BAFTA award-winning I, Daniel Blake and a Q&A session at SOAS we caught up with film director Ken Loach and comedian Francesca Martinez for a short interview - listen to them talk about the human right of laughter, the role of the arts in politics and the surprising success of Loach's latest film I, Daniel Blake. Thanks to Feyzi Ismail. Interview and production by Miia Laine. About I, Daniel Blake: Daniel Blake, 59, has worked as a joiner most of his life in Newcastle. Now, for the first time ever, he needs help from the state. He crosses paths with single mother Katie and her two young children, Daisy and Dylan. Katie’s only chance to escape a one-roomed homeless hostel in London has been to accept a flat in a city she doesn’t know, some 300 miles away. Daniel and Katie find themselves in no-man’s land, caught on the barbed wire of welfare bureaucracy as played out against the rhetoric of ‘striver and skiver’ in modern-day Britain. Ken Loach was born in 1936 in Nuneaton. Following a brief spell in theatre, Loach launched his long career directing films for television and the cinema. Now, 60 years after he made an indelible mark on society with the airing of Cathy Come Home, a TV drama which was credited with transforming the nation's perception of homelessness, Loach returns with one of his most powerful and important films. The Palme d'Or winning I, Daniel Blake proves Ken's voice is as essential to the country now as it ever was. This is his second Palme d'Or, the first for The Wind That Shakes the Barley in 2006. His film Kes was voted the seventh greatest British film of the 20th century in a poll by the British Film Institute. His socially critical directing style and his socialist ideals are evident in his film treatment of social issues in general - poverty, homelessness and labour rights, amongst others. He has collaborated with screenwriter Paul Laverty on a number of films. How To Make a Ken Loach Film, an app and website that unveils Ken's inimitable style of filmmaking through contributions from close collaborators and the man himself, is available online for free.

Kinos säsongspremiär innehåller den svenska roadmovien Odödliga, den evige vänstermannen Ken Loachs manusförfattare - Paul Laverty och en episk mor och dotterrelation i kultklassikern Grey Gardens. Hur kommer det sig att samtidigt som streamingjättarna tar över marknaden, videobutikerna stängs ner och VOD-tjänster har blivit vardag, att det ändå är biografpremiär och antalet sålda biobiljetter som räknas? När Alex Garlands Ex Machina med Alicia Vikander i huvudrollen som robot, nu släpps direkt på dvd rasar folk på nätet över att den inte går upp på bio. Och länge var det oklart om det skulle bli biodistribution för den av många efterlängtade hiphop-filmen Straight Outta Compton om den amerikanska rapgruppen N.W.A. Nu kommer den på bio i alla fall till fansens förtjusning. Kinos reporter Fredrik Wadström har undersökt vårt förhållande till filmkonsumtion och biografromantik.Andreas Öhman gjorde succé redan med sin långfilmsdebut, I rymden finns inga känslor, som snart ska göras i en amerikansk version. 2012 kom Bitchkram om fejkat liv på internet och förra året släpptes Remake, ett experimentellt kärleksdrama helt och hållet inspelad med handkamera. Till Kinostudion kommer han med sin alldeles nya film Odödliga som är en klassisk roadmovie, inspirerad av Thelma & Louise och True Romance, om Isak och Em som följs åt på en vådlig resa norrut i stulen bil. Vi har också träffat manusförfattaren till Ken Loachs tolv senaste filmer, så även den som sägs bli Loachs sista - bioaktuella Jimmy's Hall. Paul Laverty började sitt liv som filosof, blev sedan jurist och slutligen manusförfattare i vänsteranda.Programledare: Saman BakhtiariProducent: Nina Asarnoj
