Cinequest Award-winning Film-makers from Nila and My Feral Heart Special Guests on It’s A Question Of Balance with Ruth Copland Saturday 9th April 8-9 PM

 

This week as her special guests from the arts Ruth Copland is pleased to be featuring cast and film-makers of the award-winning films Nila and My Feral Heart. Nila won Best First Film and My Feral Heart won Best Drama in the Cinequest 2016 Audience Awards. 

Nila is a mood-piece set in Bombay about a taxi driver who fatefully comes across his childhood crush whilst driving at night in the city. The atmospheric film explores how someone responds when the truth is elusive and love seems inexplicably unrequited. Ruth talks to the Indian writer and director of the film Selvamani Selvaraj. 
My Feral Heart is the story of an independent, young man, Luke, who is the caretaker of his mother. When she dies he is put in a care home as he has Down’s Syndrome. He struggles to settle there with his wings clipped. Gradually, he makes friends with one of the carers and a young gardener, but it is his discovery of a wild, injured girl that changes his life. The film explores whether we are not so different from each other as we may think. Ruth talks to the British director Jane Gull, producer James Rumsey, and cast members Pixie Le Knot, who plays the young girl, and Stephen Brandon who plays Luke.
