Chloe Zhao on Nomadland.

With Antonia Quirke

Nomadland won the BAFTA and Golden Globe for Best Film and is hotly tipped to win the Best Picture Oscar too. Director Chloe Zhao reveals how she cast many of her actors on a road trip across the American West.

Zhao's previous film The Rider was The Film Programme's film of the year in 2018, and Antonia revisits her interview with its star Brady Jandreau, a real life rodeo rider and horse whisperer.

Mark Jenkin is recording an exclusive audio diary for The Film Programme as he begins to shoot Enys Men, his follow-up to his BAFTA winner Bait. As the first day of principal photography approaches, Mark is beginning to lose sleep.
