Podcasts about Where Hands Touch

Actor and activist Amandla Stenberg may be young in years, but her legacy is already overflowing. With a breakthrough performance as the young tribute Rue in the Jennifer Lawrence-led flick The Hunger Games back in 2012, Stenberg's ascension as a Hollywood fixture has been lined with film roles in The Hate U Give and Where Hands Touch, TV stints on Drunk History and The Eddy, and even an appearance in Beyonce's epic Lemonade music video back in 2016. Now at the age of 23, it's not just shiny Hollywood appearances that has ricocheted Stenberg from young up-and-comer to industry powerhouse; Stenberg also gives voice and strength to a variety of cultural, political and social justice issues, named in 2015 as the Ms. Foundation for Women's "Feminist Celebrity of the Year", while also going viral that same year for her playful yet though-provoking cultural appropriation video project titled Don't Cash Crop My Cornrows. Balancing a burgeoning career alongside public scrutiny for her stances on racial and gender equality, Stenberg also has yet another string to her very powerful creative bow, playing violin and singing, making her official music debut in 2015 with the folk rock duo Honeywater. And her music chops are on full display in 2021, with the impending release of her brand new film: an adaptation of the Broadway smash-hit musical Dear Evan Hansen.Featuring a stacked cast including Stenberg, Ben Platt, Kaitlyn Dever, Nik Dodani, Julianne Moore and Amy Adams, Dear Evan Hansen follows the titular anxious and isolated high schooler Evan Hansen as he struggles to belong in high school and the social media age, with an array of Grammy winning songs including You Will Be Found, Waving Through a Window and For Forever. Stenberg joins the cast in the role of Alana Beck, an empathetic overachiever with a pivotal role in the film and musical, with Alana's role also expanded for the film to include a brand new song for the character, penned by Stenberg herself alongside writers Ben Pasek and Justin Paul. And to unpack the Dear Evan Hansen experience and also gift a brief insight into her other music endeavours, Amandla Stenberg joins The Green Room for today's episode.

Ahead of Friday's #One2ThreeShow I caught up with London based, French composer for stage and screen Anne Chmelewsky. Anne's composition credits include Ricky Gervais' DEREK (Netflix) and BAFTA-winning director Amma Asante's feature film WHERE HANDS TOUCH, for which Anne was nominated for ‘Discovery of the Year' at the 2019 World Soundtrack Awards. Anne recently composed the music for the 007 No time to Die x Nokia spot and a star-studded Coronavirus vaccine advert that featured Sir Lenny Henry! We talked about where the film composer joins in the process of film making, a musical gift for a struggling friend that spawned a new album and how sometimes music can say what words can't. Anne introduced three of her own stunning tracks and even shared an ingenious new way of washing your clothes without a washing machine! For the full interview click play in the box below. For the music you'll have to tune in to Phoenix FM on Friday 21st May

We hear about the music that's featured in Amma's work, and also her trip to Washington and the after-party thrown for her by none other than Prince.

With Belle, and a United Kingdom under her belt, Amma Asante returns with her latest project Where Hands Touch, which tells the overlooked story of the mixed children born during the Nazi regime. Amma Asante started out in front of the screen in the UK cult kids' series Grange Hill. Quickly realising that being an actress wasn't her forte, Asante forged a career behind the camera.  Taking up space in a position usually reserved for men, Asante is one of the very few women directors who dare to challenge the norm. As a filmmaker who refuses to toe the line of expectation of the stories she should be telling, as a woman and especially as a Black woman, Asante's narratives, stoke conversation, and some would say, discomfort.  Based on true accounts, Where Hands Touch dares to explore their journey.  What happens when teenagers mixed race Lena(Amandla Stenberg)born of an African father and German mother and German Lutz (George MacKay)a member of the Hitler Youth and the son of a high ranking SS officer fall in love?  Where Hands Touch is in UK cinemas from Friday 10th May

In this episode, Anne Chmelewsky talks about how she captured the two most important ideas of the film within her score: identity and love; not only writing individual themes for each but composing a delicate yet powerful interaction between the two.

Amma Asante stopped by this week to discuss her latest film Where Hands Touch, her immersive life as a young actress, writing and selling her first script, how she dealt with "looking different" than everyone else in Hollywood, and what she hopes to be doing (and making) in the years to come.

An exciting and eye-opening BEHIND THE LENS as we span the globe exploring cultures and historical events thanks to our special guests, LEON LEE and NAMRATA SINGH GUJRAL, plus our exclusive interview with writer/director AMMA ASANTE. We kick off this episode of #BTLRadioShow with our exclusive interview with writer/director AMMA ASANTE who talks about her latest film, the emotionally powerful WHERE HANDS TOUCH. Set in 1944 Germany, Asante explores an oft-overlooked part of World War II history – the Rhineland Bastards, the name given by the Nazis to those of mixed race. Another part of Hitler's "cleansing", Asante sets the stage and brings us into time and place with a love story between a young girl of mixed parents named Leyna, and Lutz, one of the exuberant Nazi Youth and son of a famed member of the Nazi military regime. Listen as Asante talks about her approach to telling this story from the visual immersion to the emotional resonance, the contemporary relevance of the film today, and shooting at a former concentration camp. Moving from 1944 Germany to present-day China, Peabody Award winner and filmmaker LEON LEE takes us deep into the story of Sun Yi, a man held prisoner in the Masanjia Labor Camp, with his powerhouse documentary, LETTER FROM MASANJIA. Hiding a note inside a Halloween decoration (a headstone, no less) made in the prison for shipment to the United States for sale in a K-Mart store, Sun Yi begged the finder of the note to contact human rights organizations and alert them to the abuse and torture at Masanjia. Luckily for Sun Yi, in 2012 Julie Keith of Oregon opened up the Halloween decorations she had purchased two-years earlier and found the note. Lee, an authority on China, takes us down the rabbit hole and into Sun Yi's experiences and persecution for his involvement with Falun Gong, a spiritual group founded on the moral philosophies of truth, compassion and tolerance. Filmmakers will be amazed to learn of the lengths Lee had to go into order to make this film as he is not allowed to enter China, and Sun Yi, on his release from Masanjia could not leave the country. A fascinating conversation. And then we welcome acclaimed writer/director and President of Uniglobe Entertainment, NAMRATA SINGH GUJRAL, talking about her new film 5 WEDDINGS! A cultural explosion showcasing the beauty and wonders of India set against a fictional story of a magazine journalist seeking the Editor-In-Chief position which will be determined by the quality of this unique assignment, Gujral's enthusiasm about the film is palpable as she talks about its structure, deciding on the weddings to focus upon (there are 15 different types of weddings in India), including the Hijara as an important part of the film, focusing on the relationships of fathers & daughters, true love, tradition, working with her cinematographer Christo Bakalov, casting Bo Derek and Candy Clark, the importance of authentic casting, and advice for filmmakers about finding your target audience. http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
