With festival season well underway, NSI has cooked up some special treats in support of the Atlantic Film Festival (AFF).
Whew! Our talented alumni is involved in 15 films.
We caught Greg Hemmings before he headed off to Atlantic Film Festival to find out more about his award winning documentary Papikatuk. Listen to the podcast below.
Gary Yates has contributed a special video to our website featuring interviews with the cast and crew of High Life which also screens at AFF. We interviewed NSI alumna Liz Jarvis a while back. Liz was one of the executive producers for High Life and a co-producer of the award-winning Amreeka, which is also screening at the fest.
Pat Mills’ 5 Dysfunctional People in a Car heads east from the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) to screen in Halifax at AFF. We have his pre-TIFF conversation in case you missed it.
Sean Garrity's latest feature Zooey & Adam is playing at AFF. He and Jonas Chernick did a great video interview last year for NSI talking about actors working with directors.
And from the vaults of Brian Linehan's CityLights comes a classic 1977 interview with Christopher Plummer who stars in Heath Ledger's last film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, which heads to the Halifax big screen.
