Starting his career at ITV (one of the UK’s most important commercial TV networks) as a director in the 1980s, he then moved to small budget TV productions and independent cinema. His breakthrough came after directing Bloody Sunday in 2002, which was awarded Best Director at the British Independent Film Awards and premiered at Sundance Film Festival. Mainstream movies followed; Greengrass directed two of the Bourne series, The Bourne Supremacy (2004) and The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), as well as United 93 (2006), for which he won the BAFTA Award for Best Director and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Director.

JAN DUNN United Kingdom Jan Dunn is a multi-award winning screenwriter and independent film director whose roots began as theatre actress. She made her feature length directorial debut in 2005 with the film Gypo, starring Paul McGann and Pauline McLynn, which won a British Independent Film Award for Best Production. It was the first British film to be made under the Dogme 95 rules. Then came Ruby Blue, another winner of international awards, including Best Narrative Film (Grand Jury Award at the Washington DC Independent Film Festival) and The Moonstone Independent Spirit Award for Best Female Director, amongst other awards. She then released The Calling, whose young lead won the Trailblazers Best Newcomer Award at its Edinburgh International Film Festival premiere.

STEPHEN FREARS One of the most acclaimed film directors from Britain today, started as an assistant director at the BBC. In the last half of the 1980s, Frears came to international attention as a director of feature films. His film debut was the detective spoof Gumshoe, but it was his direction of My Beautiful Laundrette that unexpectedly led to wider notice. After that, he kept working on both mainstream and independent cinema, with successful productions such asDangerous Liaisons, which won numerous and BAFTA nominations (Frears himself was nominated for the BAFTA Best Direction Award), and The Queen, which achieved immense critical acclaim, box-office success and awards.

KEVIN MACDONALD Born in Scotland in 1967, Kevin Macdonald began his career with a biography of his grandfather, The Life and Death of a Screenwriter (1994), which he turned into the documentary, The Making of an Englishman (1995). He continued making documentaries such asOne Day in September (1999), about the murder of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics, and Touching the Void (2003), about Joe Simpson and Simon Yates’ disastrous attempt to climb Mont Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes in 1985. This production was described by as “the most successful documentary in British cinema history.” Kevin Macdonald gained worldwide recognition with the British Independent Film Award winner and Academy Award winner, The Last King of Scotland (2006).

KEN LOACH He is probably one of the greatest British directors of all time and a paramount figure in independent cinema. Born in June 1936, started his career directing at the BBC, with ten contributions to the BBC’s Wednesday Play anthology series that include the docudramas Up the Junction (1965), Cathy Come Home (1966) and In Two Minds (1967). Despite his success, especially with his 1969 film Kes, his naturalistic, social-realist directing style caused some of his films to be censored and left him out of the spotlight for a decade. However, the 1980s and 1990s saw the production of a series of critically acclaimed films such as Hidden Agenda, Carla’s Song, and Land and Freedom, which contains a quintessentially Loach sequence of a 12-minute political discussion amongst villagers. During this period he was also awarded prizes at the on three occasions.

EUROCHANNEL GUIDE | JANUARY 2015 | 9 BRITISH MONTH Interview with

Jan Dunn(Director)

How did you come up with the idea of The Calling? I pitched a few ideas to my producer whilst working on Ruby Blue when she suggested we should make one more very low budget film and think of them as a low budget trilogy that will hopefully help us to move onto the radar with our future films. She liked the idea of the nuns when I said it would be a cross between Black Narcissus and Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.

You got Susannah York on board of this project in a rather funny way, can you tell our viewers about it? I had been thinking about casting her as the Prioress but with very low budget films it can be difficult to go through the agents and I was trying to work out how to track her down. Gypo was being screened at Cambridge Film Festival and I attended to give a Q & A, I noticed that Susannah York was also attending on the evening that my train was booked to go back home. So I wrote her a long letter telling her how much I loved her films particularly They Shoot Horses, Don’t They, for which she was Oscar nominated and that I really wanted her to play my Prioress. I gave it to the film programmer at the festival asking if she’d say really nice things about me when handing it to Susannah. Late that evening the phone rang and there was that unmistakable voice telling me she’d got my letter and would love to work with me. We were on the phone for ages and I went to see her at her house in London the next week.

How did you get the inspiration for the film, did you visit real orders or do some research about convents? There is a closed order of Benedictine nuns about three miles from where I live in a little village called Minster. They are based at Minster Abbey and there have been Benedictines there since the thirteenth century. There are now only about nine of them. I based my order on that set up. What surprised me most for a closed order which is also a silent order was when I walked up to the door to ring the bell. I could hear lots of chatting and laughing coming from the kitchen inside. I wasn’t expecting that but then as I learned more about silent orders, they are not actually silent all the time. They have ‘recreational’ time every day too, this is a time when they can talk. They also have ecumenical time of bible discussion too.

I also read books and articles written by nuns who are still in convents, have left or are about to enter. Most of the books were pretty contemporary but I also read some old books about the principals of Saint Benedict and lots of trivia on Saints. I wanted to write a fun screenplay too and this is where I brought in the trivia, especially as I had experienced my nuns in Minster making all that noise laughing.

10 | EUROCHANNEL GUIDE | JANUARY 2015 | BRITISH MONTH

Did you get any comments from nuns or orders in terms of liking or disliking the film? The Catholic Times refused to review it for a reason they wouldn’t give, which is hilarious because they gave us permission to use their magazine as a prop in the film. It’s also about a girl who wants to (and does) become a nun. Large numbers of women over forty who are Catholic have come up to me after screenings to say how much they loved the film, both the humor and the issues raised in it. We had a fabulous audience report from Edinburgh International Film Festival where it was sold out for every screening and selected for Best of the Fest. The majority of the audience was also women over forty and I think a lot of them were Catholic. Also a large Catholic audience at Dinard in France where it also sold out two weeks in advance and there were queues for returns. The American poster was completely re-designed to focus on the comedy. I remember at the first screening two women came up to me afterwards to say they found it ‘faith affirming’.

It was screened at the Istanbul Film Festival, [which is in] a Muslim country. There was one older nun in the audience and she put her hand up at the Q & A and said she absolutely loved the accuracy of the film, which I thought was very interesting because I also aimed at it being quite controversial.

There are some amazing and inspirational nuns all over the world doing all sorts of great things and two of them were inspirational for the character of Ignatious because they are quite provocative and confrontational with some of the things the Vatican ignores. I have the nuns at one point reading the newspaper report about the Call to Accountability which was a real campaign brought about in part by nuns. Priests in Africa had started to rape nuns because they felt they wouldn’t get HIV from them as they would if they continued to have sex with village and prostitutes but the Vatican would do nothing about it. That’s just one of the provocative messages I wanted to plant in the film.

Your movies are mostly shot in Kent, have you thought of setting a story in a bigger city like London or Edinburgh? These three films were entirely written around the location and considering budget constraints. I would much rather just write a script and not necessarily think about the location. I live in Ramsgate in Kent and some of my team lives here too, for instance my editor and sound designer. So it is easy for me to get in the car and start writing in my head as I drive around the locations.

My next films have proper budgets and I have not considered the locations when writing them. Year of Wonders is entirely set in the real village of Eyam in Derbyshire. The way finance is at the moment, there are tax incentives to encourage filmmakers to shoot in certain areas and so I am not sure where I will be shooting my next films. I am attached to direct a great script set entirely in Wales, with a mostly Welsh crew, written and produced by Welsh based company and writer and yet the Welsh Film Fund is not willing to fund it. They want to fund bigger films coming from outside of Wales to film a small part of the film there.

If you had an unlimited budget, which story would you put into cinema? Queen Matilda, England’s first Queen. She was the direct blood relation to King Henry I, granddaughter of William the Conqueror; she had 16 years’ experience as the Empress of Germany, far more experience that her cousin Stephen who stole the thrown from her. The people of England knew that too and so a civil war began. A fight for the crown, which led to Matilda winning the crown back for her son Henry II who began the famous Plantagenet dynasty. All because she fought for it.

EUROCHANNEL GUIDE | JANUARY 2015 | 11 BRITISH MONTH From the Convent to the Big Screen: 3 NUN STORIES IN CINEMA Religion has often inspired the greatest art. It is a source for stories of success, forgiveness, sin, and corruption; filmmakers haven’t missed the opportunity to use it for their compelling scenarios. These are three stories of nuns on the big screen.

THE SOUND OF MUSIC (1965)

Adapted from the Broadway musical of the same name, The Sound of Music is a movie directed and produced by Robert Wise and starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. Based on Maria von Trapp’s book The Story of the Trapp Family Singers, it tells the story of a young woman who leaves an Austrian convent to become a governess to the seven children of a naval officer widower. The film won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and in 2001 the United States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry, deeming it “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”

THE LADY OF MONZA (1969)

Loosely based on real-life events of Marianna de Leyva, this is an Italian historical drama directed by Eriprando Visconti. The movie tells the story of a nun in 17th century Italy who finds herself pleased as she is being raped by a nobleman. She soon finds herself pregnant and, after giving birth, arranges for the nobleman’s escape from prison. They once again begin their illicit relationship, which continues until a nun who witnessed their lovemaking is found dead. Marianna is sentenced to life imprisonment after being convicted of having sexual relations and of being an accomplice to murder.

LA RELIGIEUSE (2013)

Directed by Guillaume Nicloux, this is a French drama set in France in the 1760s. The movie tells the story of a girl born to a bourgeois family with a talent for music who is sent to a convent against her will. Adapted from Diderot’s eponymous novel, La Religieuse depicts a young woman trying to resist imposed religious values, revealing the dehumanizing effect of cloistered life. It premiered as it competed in the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival and later received two nominations at the 4th Magritte Awards, winning Best Actress.

Hope sometimes comes from the most unexpected people…

director Jan Dunn cast Pauline McLynn, Chloe Sirene, Paul McGann Genre Drama Premiere: January 23rd at 6:00 PM ORIGINAL TITLE Gypo YEAR 2005

Helen (Pauline McLynn) has been married to Paul (Paul McGann) for 25 years. They live a monotonous and frozen existence. She is desperate, damaged, and looking for change; he is bitter, hypocritical and bigoted, and on the brink of a breakdown. Into their lives comes Tasha (Chloe Sirene), a Romany Czech refugee, awaiting her British passport and her chance for freedom - a concept taken for granted by all those around her.

How did you get into the project? I had worked with the writer and director Jan Dunn before on a short called Mary’s Date. We made it in a day in her apartment and it was great fun, so when she came up with the idea of Gypo I was not only intrigued but also delighted to work with her again.

Having acted in big budget productions how was the experience of acting in this art- house film? I had played small roles in big budget movies - I was a whore in Far and Away with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, for instance. The biggest difference is always the money. I was paid very well and travelled to and from the USA first class for that. And the production values were amazing because the budget covered any and everything needed so no corners needed to be cut.

Gypo was a totally different experience in that the style required (and prescribed by ) required us to use only what we had - so we all wore our own clothes and used locations that didn’t need redesigning, there was no special lighting (which can be very time consuming). We improvised the dialogue, which I loved, and spent a few days before shooting getting to know our characters and the other cast members so that everything ran very smoothly and quickly once we began shooting. And of course, I got to play a much bigger part than I had in Far and Away which might not have come my way if Gypo had been bigger budget as a bigger ‘name’ might have been sought.

Did the film change your perspective of the stereotype the rom community has over Europe? Oh yes, certainly. I liked the fact that I remained Irish in the film as there is a huge Irish immigrant population in the UK and that gave me a bit of insight into what the Roma community have to put up with in terms of racism and prejudice. It was fascinating to hear real stories too and we used all of that information in making Gypo. Sadly, I think nothing has changed for the Romany since we made the film.

Did you and the cast expect the success the movie had? We knew we were making an unusual film with great heart and a wonderful story, so we were hopeful it would find an audience, but you never know in the world of film - sometimes it seems you can come around the right corner at the wrong time and the opportunity is missed. Happily, in this case, Gypo was a success and Jan was recognized as a very bright new talent with plenty more films to make and stories to tell.

Are you working on any filming projects at the moment? Can you tell us something about them? I’ve been working on British TV for the last few months on a serial calledEastEnders and I am about to return to the stage at the new Sam Wannamaker Playhouse in Southwark with The Knight of the Burning Pestle so there are no film projects for the moment. 16 | EUROCHANNEL GUIDE | JANUARY 2015 | BRITISH MONTH Interview with Pauline McLynn 3 Films About (Actress) Romany People The Romany people have been called by a variety of names, with “gypsy” as the most common in English (though some consider it pejorative).

The film was recorded in Sarajevo and Milan, by the Forum Sarajevo. Time for Gypsies was nominated for a Palme d’Or at Cannes, where Kusturika won the award for Best Director. The movie also won in the Best Foreign Film category at the 1990 César Awards in France.

Also directed by the creative Emir Kusturika, this romantic comedy tells the story of a small-time Romany smuggler and profiteer who lives with his teenage son Zare in a ramshackle house by the Danube River in eastern Serbia near the Bulgarian border. Received positively by critics, it won the Silver Lion for Best Direction at the .

Korkoro (2009)

This French drama directed by Tony Gatlif - who is also a screenwriter, composer, actor, and producer of Romany descent - is inspired by a Romany who escaped the Nazis with help from French villagers and based on an anecdote by the Romany historian Jacques Sigot. The movie’s cast includes many nationalities, such as Albanian, Kosovar, Georgian, Serbian, French, Norwegian, and nine Romany whom Gatlif recruited in Transylvania. It premiered at the Montréal World Film Festival, winning the Grand Prize of the Americas, among other awards. Korkoro, which means “alone” in the Romany language, is one of the few films in the market to tackle the Romany Holocaust.

EUROCHANNEL GUIDE | JANUARY 2015 | 21 BRITISH Interview with MONTH Brian Welsh (Director)

How did you come up with the idea of making a film about PTSD? I had had some direct personal experience of Post- Traumatic Stress sufferers and began researching this utterly debilitating condition. I was very surprised to see the lack of good support for soldiers upon returning home and felt this was something that needed to be talked about.

Why did you decide to do it from the perspective of a female soldier? Women were becoming engaged in frontline combat for the first time and I wanted to consider what it must be like, if it is any different, for a woman suffering from PTSD. The fact that being around children is very often a trigger for the onset of PTSD symptoms was something I felt compelled to investigate through the eyes of a female protagonist, a mother.

During the research process and approaching military authorities, was it easy to get official help from them? We worked with Combat Stress very closely. They are the charity set up to specifically deal with PTSD. They were invaluable.

In a time beset of «life after war» films, what do you think is the differential point of In Our Name? I think the fact that we are looking at ‘life after war’ from the female perspective makes the story unique. Usually these types of stories have been confined to male leads.

Did you expect the film to have the success it had (for example at Montreal Film Festival)? Winning the award at Montreal was very cool and unexpected. Joanne Froggatt gives a stunning central performance and people respond very well to this.

Are you working on any filming projects at the moment? Can you tell us something about them? I am working on a few projects. I’m very excited about a Scottish play I am adapting with Kieran Hurley called ‘Beats’.
