John Boorman, Queen and Country

Alex Heeney / February 28, 2015

Queen and Country director John Boorman’s 8 lessons

British writer-director John Boorman has been making films since the 1960s, and has said that Queen and Country — a sequel to his autobiographical World War II-era story of childhood, Hope and Glory (1987) — which opened on Friday, will be his last.

Alex Heeney / February 15, 2015

SFFS Artist-in-Residence Sally El Hosaini on writing and directing My Brother the Devil

Sally El Hosaini’s directorial debut, My Brother the Devil, is a touching and sensitive story of two Arab brothers in Hackney, London. During her sojourn in San Francisco as the San Francisco Film Society’s Artist-in-Residence, I sat down with El Hosaini to discuss her writing process, working with non-actors, her shoot, and her approach to the film’s aesthetic.

National Gallery

Alex Heeney / December 15, 2014

Frederick Wiseman on his new film National Gallery

His latest film, “National Gallery,” which premiered in the Director’s Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival in May, takes a look at the inner-workings of London’s renowned art museum. The film is a fascinating look at one of the greatest art museums in the world, its role in the community, and how the paintings it houses continue to speak to us.

Eddie Redmayne, Theory of Everything

Alex Heeney / November 5, 2014

Eddie Redmayne on Stephen Hawking and shooting out of order

In The Theory of Everything, Eddie Redmayne (My Week with Marilyn and Les Misérables) gives an impressively detailed performance as cosmologist Stephen Hawking. The biopic chronicles several decades in Hawking’s life – and his relationship with his wife Jane (Felicity Jones) – from his time as a Physics Ph.D. student at Cambridge, where they met and he […]
