In Seventh Row interviews, we 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.

World Cinema

Under-the-radar non-English language filmmakers talk about their artistic processes.

Canadian Cinema

Canadian directors delve into their work which is too often overlooked by festivals.

Indigenous Film

Indigenous filmmakers from around the world discuss both decolonizing cinema and their technical process.

In Her Chair

Female-identifying directors reflect on their experiences making films and leading creative teams.

Establishing Shots

Promising emerging filmmakers discuss their first feature film.

Explorations in Documentary

Documentary filmmakers consider why and how they tell non-fiction stories.

Actors on Acting

Actors talk about their work on a specific performance or their career as a whole and their technical approach.

Behind the Lens

The most exciting cinematographers — both emerging and established — talk about their process.

Department Heads

Costume designers, sound designers, and production designers discuss their artistic choices and explain their collaborative methods.
