Mark Lawson interviews award winning film-maker Molly Dineen, director Roger Michell discusses one-take film The Silent House, and Simon Stephens' play Wastwater is reviewed.
With Mark Lawson
Award-winning TV documentary maker Molly Dineen is known for her intimate portraits of British individuals and institutions. Now, with the release of a DVD collection of her work, she talks about making films such as Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ from the Hill, which followed retired soldier Colonel Hilary Hook as he left his Kenyan home, In the Company of Men, about the Prince of Wales Company of the Welsh Guards, and a party political broadcast featuring Tony Blair.
A new film The Silent House has a tag line 'Real Fear in Real Time' and claims to have been shot in just one uninterrupted take. Director Roger Michell gives his verdict on the film and discusses the challenge of long, unedited takes to film-makers.
Playwright Simon Stephens, whose school-set drama Punk Rock won acclaim in 2009, has now turned to the periphery of an airport for his new play. Wastwater portrays three interlinked pairs of people, in three different situations: a painful departure, a dangerous liaison and illegal child trafficking. Gaylene Gould reviews.
Producer Claire Bartleet.
