The Love Of Cinema

Felicity Beckett talks to director Oliver Hermanus about his new film, The History of Sound.

In 1917, Lionel (Paul Mescal) — a young, talented music student — meets David (Josh O'Connor) at the Boston Conservatory, where they bond over a deep love of folk music.  Years later, Lionel receives a letter from David, leading to an impromptu journey through the backwoods of Maine to collect traditional songs. This unexpected reunion, ensuing love affair, and the music they collect and preserve, will shape the course of Lionel’s life far beyond his own awareness.

Felicity Beckett talks to actor Claire Foy about her new film, H Is For Hawk. 

After the sudden death of her father (Brendan Gleeson), Helen (Claire Foy) turns to the ancient art of falconry, training a wild goshawk named Mabel to help navigate her profound loss and preserve her memories of their time exploring the natural world together.  

But as she teaches Mabel to hunt and fly free, Helen discovers how deeply she has neglected her own emotions and life – and what begins as an act of endurance transforms into an intimate journey of resilience and healing.

Sam Clements talks to directors Lisa Barros D'Sa and Glenn Leyburn, as well as actor Éanna Hardwicke about their new film Saipan, which is in cinemas now. 

SAIPAN explores the explosive clash between soccer star Roy Keane (Éanna Hardwicke) and manager Mick McCarthy (Steve Coogan) before the 2002 FIFA World Cup.  

Their feud, rooted in clashing standards and personalities, erupted on the island of Saipan, shaking the Irish team and nation. As Keane walked out, McCarthy faced chaos.  

This gripping true story goes beyond sport to become a dramatic, often comic tale of leadership and loyalty – and a rivalry that captured global attention.
