recent in-depth interviews

Outstanding filmmakers and actors reflect on their work

Outstanding filmmakers and actors — some emerging, others established — reflect on their creative processes, aesthetic philosophies, and career trajectories.

Seventh Row interviews dive deep into the fine-grained technical decisions that go into telling a story on screen, demystifying everything from sound and costume design to cinematography. Filmmaking is a collaborative enterprise, so we love to learn about how creative teams worked together to create some of our favourite films.
