Directors Barry Jenkins and Sian Heder

The Arts Hour

Available for over a year

Two extended interviews by Nikki Bedi with two astonishingly talented American film-makers, both of whom have won the Best Picture Oscar. Firstly the creative visionary behind the Oscar winning film Moonlight and the television series The Underground Railroad, director Barry Jenkins. And the pioneering force behind this year’s Best Picture Oscar for CODA, writer and director Sian Heder. The Arts Hour previously went on tour to the United States, and discussed diversity, equality and inclusion in film making. In this episode, you can hear more from those conversations from the Redcat Theatre in Los Angeles. Producers: Paul Waters, Nicki Paxman and Oliver Jones (Photo: Barry Jenkins on stage at REDCAT in Los Angeles. Credit: James V. Evers)
