In this instalment of the Director’s Notes podcast, we explore the 18th BFI Future Film Festival, delving into its programme of electrifying moving shorts and speaking to the inspiring filmmakers behind them in the iconic BFI Southbank. Jesse catches up with Young Programmer Felix Farrow, who provides insight into the BFI Future Film Festival selection and programming process. We then speak to three filmmakers who wowed us with their outstanding works, beginning with Lada Kopytova, who discusses finding her film Blueprint in the edit, followed by a brief interview with Grac Talbot about their Wizard of Oz inspired, mixed-media film We’re Not in Essex Anymore. We then close out with our chat with Dylan Scott, director of A Few More Minutes, Please, an incredibly funny and powerful short film about social anxiety.
The entire selection of films are available on the BFI’s YouTube channel until the 6th March.
