I spoke to director, cinematographer, and my good friend Cécile Embleton (instagram) about her new film Mother Vera, which is playing at the London Film Festival next month.
This is a feature documentary about the life of a young orthodox nun from Belarus, I have seen it, and it is spectacular. Cécile and I discuss literature, her influences, and the challenges and joys of making arthouse cinema.
It is also playing at Camden International Film Festival, in Camden, Maine, on Friday 13th September, 1pm @ Journey’s End Cinema.
