Join us for a deep dive into two immersive works, both featuring in Cannes Immersive Competition. Artists Poulomi Basu and CJ Clarke bring us behind the scenes of Maya: The Birth of a Superhero, an immersive story following an ordinary girl as she transforms into a uniquely female superhero whose powers derive from menstruation. The work will have its European premiere in Cannes. We are also joined by producers Emma Hamilton and Sam Pressman who guide us through Evolver (French Premiere), a work which takes the audience on a journey inside the human body, through the processes that sustain all life.

The International Circulation of UK Films
With intensifying competition for talent and skills, significant production cost inflation and disruptive changes in the modes of consumption, the sales performance of UK independent films face complex challenges. In this episode we meet a panel of international sales agents and distributors to discuss how UK films travel across borders. Do genre films travel more widely than arthouse, auteur-driven films? And what does ‘UK cinema’ mean to other countries? From works by internationally renowned filmmakers to breakthrough first features, the episode delves into the cultural and economic aspects of the international circulation of UK films.
