Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EFP 74: Professor Jennifer Coates on Nagisa Oshima
Q: And so in terms of your first encounter with the work of Oshima, when was that? Was there a particular film that you saw?
Jennifer recalls first encountering Oshima through Isolde Standish's MA classes and notes that The Realm of the Senses is often what people remember, but her early exposure included Cruel Story of Youth and the broader context of how Oshima's work was discussed in class.
EFP 67: Director Maryam Haddadi on her documentaries Accused Number 41 and Between Us
Q: How did Between Us come about and what is its focus?
Between Us is a tender portrait of motherhood featuring her and her four-year-old son Masih, produced through the Bridging the Gap program to bridge academic work with real-world industry practice.
EFP 67: Director Maryam Haddadi on her documentaries Accused Number 41 and Between Us
Q: What inspired Accused 41 and what themes does it explore?
The film grew from a personal incident involving the Morality Police in Iran and explores identity, gendered policing, and the power of personal narrative to illuminate broader social constraints.
