Argentinian director, Axel Cheb Terrab, talks to Nikki Bedi and cultural critic Anna Bogutskaya, about his new movie, Gala and Kiwi, which is being premiered at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. Oscar-winning singer songwriter, Billie Eilish, talks about oversharing, whilst climbing the roof of one of London’s biggest music venues. Director, M Night Shyamalan, discusses working with his daughter, the R&B singer Saleka, who plays a fictional pop star in his latest movie, Trap. Nigerian author, Ayobami Adebayo, reveals the Nigerian authors who have inspired her writing. Also, when you go to the cinema, do you look forward to watching the trailers or do you actively avoid them so as not to spoil the film? We hear two different takes on trailers from critic Larushka Ivan-Zadeh, and the founder of a trailer-making production company, Sam Cryer. And there is music from Senegalese kora player, Seckou Keita. Presenter: Nikki Bedi Producer: Paul Waters (Photo: Billie Eilish arriving in Japan 19 June 2024.
