Montage Film Podcast

Film Fight! Robert and Emma fail to agree once more over one of the biggest films of the festival, the new sci fi “classic” Moon, starring Sam Rockwell. Then there’s the award winning Seraphine, and My Year without Sex, which continues Australian cinema’s strong run this festival. Plus some blether and outrageous French accents in between.

Montage is back! We have a bumper edition of the podcast with the special theme of journalism. We discuss journalism in film, such as the recently released State of Play, and the crisis of print journalism in the real world due to the rise of blogs, and celebrity culture. And we start to get excited about the Edinburgh International Film Festival which has just announced its opening gala film.

We also have special guest Mitch Miller, editor of the Drouth magazine, and lecturer at the University of Glasgow to tell us like it is, and simultaneously destroy our hopes and dash our dreams.

Mitch tells us he’s a fan of the montage. He can’t deny it, we have it on tape.
