SCREEN PLAYERS FILM CLUB

An absolute joy to chat to Charlotte Bogard Macleod for the Screen Players Film Club podcast. Here’s what they had to say:

Welcome to Screen Players Club with BAFTA nominated artist-directors Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard discussing Broken English – their docu-portrait about the singer songwriter and icon Marianne Faithfull.

Don’t miss Iain and Jane divulging why and how they created a new documentary format to capture Marianne’s exuberant creative spirit. They discuss why they cast Tilda Swinton and George MacKay as fictional characters in a non-fiction film. They explain how they worked with Marianne’s collaborators Nick Cave, Beth Orton and Courtney Love to make the songs live in the present.

They share the moving moment when they filmed Marianne Faithfull’s final ever performance, and the astonishing reaction from Marianne once she’d finished recording her song. We can’t wait for you to listen. Thank you for joining our club.

The episode is available to listen to now, wherever you get your podcasts.
