Paul Dano, Venice floods and the impact on its cultural heritage, the department store in art
Actor Paul Dano on turning director with new film Wildlife, how Venice is protecting its arts and heritage from flooding, and the department store in film and television
Paul Dano: we speak to the BAFTA- and Golden Globe-nominated actor about going behind the camera for his star-studded directorial debut, Wildlife. Starring Carey Mulligan and Jake Gyllenhaal, his film focuses on a family in a small American town whose 14-year-old son must bear the emotional burden of his parents' marital troubles.
Venice: after the worst flooding in a decade - with waters reaching over five feet - what is being done to protect this world class cultural heritage site, its art and culture? We speak to Toto Bergamo-Rossi, Director of the Venetian Heritage Foundation, and to Mechtild Rossler, Director of UNESCO’s World Heritage Centre.
And the department store in the arts: as hundreds of stores and shopping centres face crisis and closure, film critic Larushka Ivan-Zadeh and cultural commentator Matthew Sweet discuss their depiction in film, television and the arts.
