Martha Fiennes
Director
Award winning director and producer Martha Fiennes has won acclaim for her music videos, but has also directed two features with much fanfare: her 1999 film Onegin, won a BAFTA for Best British Film, and her film Chromophobia closed the 2005 Cannes Film Festival.
Q1 Which one film would you wish to share with future generations?
For the sheer epic reach of it. For its scale, bravery and rich complexity.
Majestic and mystical - and most importantly, the context of the film-making - the outlandish temerity, passion and pursuit of a director working against all odds must be understood for a full and awesome appreciation of this film.
Q2 What excites you about the future of the moving image?
What excites me about the future of the moving image is the work of rare individuals who fight the good fight and push to work in a way that questions the the increasingly conservative climate that the commercial industry apparently demands.
