FILM FORMALLY is back! This month, friend of the podcast Sophy Romvari’s films are premiering on the CRITERION CHANNEL and to mark the occasion we’ve recorded a set of commentaries for six of these films - NINE BEHIND, IT’S HIM, PUMPKIN MOVIE, NORMAN NORMAN, IN DOG YEARS, and STILL PROCESSING. We’ll be releasing one per week for the next six weeks.
A young woman grapples with the declining health of her beloved dog in this film about mortality, cloning, and Barbra Streisand.
In this episode, we discuss:
Creative “Labour” and filmmaking.
Cross-country collaboration.
Norman’s TIFF pass.
Conceptual cinema.
The opportunities afforded by non-traditional modes of production.
Sophy’s films can be seen on the CRITERION CHANNEL - feel free to sign up for a free trial if you aren’t a member.
