Ep. 64: Lockdown Film School with Alice Winocour

This episode presents our Lockdown Film School master class with writer-director Alice Winocour in podcast form. We discuss her three features including the recently released Proxima, her writing process, and her cinematic interest in the body. Read more on Proxima >>

This episode features Editor-in-Chief Alex Heeney and Executive Editor Orla Smith interviewing writer-director Alice Winocour

Proxima (Alice Winocour, 2019)

Alice Winocour’s new film, Proxima, looks at astronaut training through a professional rather than mythic lens. Eva Green plays Sarah, an astronaut preparing for a year on the International Space Station. To do so, she has to prepare for a physically and technically demanding job, deal with the casual misogyny of the men around her, and emotionally prepare to be away from her daughter for the year.

Proxima will be available on VOD in Canada and the USA on November 6. It will be on Curzon Home Cinema in the UK on November 22.
