We talk TIFF Next Wave 2020 with an interview with programme manager Steph Guthrie and reviews of CRSHD, Angelfish, Do Turtles Swim in Maple Syrup? No Crying at the Dinner Table and Pick. We also chat with Steve Gravestock about his book A History of Icelandic Film.
Filmmaker and grassroots educator Steph Guthrie joins Mark to talk about her experiences as a feminist advocate who has faced online harassment from the far right and her work with films like the award-winning documentary A Better Man. She discusses what she's learned from legal battles, social media conflicts, and working with men trying to atone for domestic violence.
Get carried away with Danita, Emily and Drunk Feminist Films co-founder Steph Guthrie as they discuss Debra Winger’s Oscar-nominated performance in AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN. Listen in as they lift the so-called “difficult” actress up where she belongs, showering her with endless TERMS OF ENDEARMENT for her fearless drive to create memorable (and messy!) female characters. Plus, the first WRLH! sing-a-long? Produced by Emily Gagne and Danita Steinberg. Edited by Sonya Suraci. Theme music by Emily Milling.

On their final episode of the year, Rob and Geoff look back on a sometimes unreal year in film and television, and reflect on the trends and themes that shaped the industry by revisiting some of their favourite TIFF Long Take conversations from 2017. Excerpts include: IndieWire’s Anne Thompson on the death of the old studio system (2:10); Variety’s Owen Gleiberman on Netflix and Amazon’s negative reception at Cannes (6:40); Vanity Fair’s Katey Rich, Mike Hogan, and Richard Lawson on how the Oscars view streaming services (9:25) Franklin Leonard on the importance of Moonlight (14:50) BFI Southbank’s Gaylene Gould on reframing the context of classic films (17:00); Los Angeles Times’ Tre’vell Anderson on why are studios are reluctant to finance diverse films (20:50); IndieWire’s Tom Bruggeman on what film studios could learn from the Mayweather vs. McGregor fight (24:45); The Ringer’s Adam Nayman on franchise fatigue and the decline of Summer blockbusters (29:00); Jason Blum on the economics of the genre films (36:25); TIFF’s Peter Kuplowsky and Faculty of Horror’s Alex West on why horror has thrived while the greater box office is on the decline (40:20); USC’s Professor Stacy Smith on the the data behind Hollywood sexism. (47:35); Ashley Mckenzie on working in a male created system (51:35); and Christine Kleckner and Steph Guthrie on where the film industry goes after #MeToo (54:40).
This week on TIFF Long Take, Rob and Geoff sit down with Steph Guthrie and Christine Kleckner, the producers of the new documentary A Better Man. In the film, co-director Attiya Khan confronts her former partner about the violence that he inflicted on her during their relationship. The film, now airing on TVO, has been hailed, not only as a brave and exceptional work of art, but also as a vehicle to better understand how systemic abuse is endemic to our culture — and our industry. On this week’s episode, Guthrie and Kleckner speak to Khan’s decision to confront her abuser on camera, what can be learned from the therapeutic concept of “restorative justice,” and where the conversation around abuse will now go after #MeToo.
In episode 3, the boys finally figure out how to turn around the microphone. Also, Keegan nerds out over the new remix to the theme song done by HARSHaf (https://soundcloud.com/harshafmusic). Oh and they discuss Steph Guthrie's talk at TEDx Toronto titled "The problem with 'Don't Feed the Trolls'" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KHEkR5yb9A)
