This week on Primal Screen, Flick Ford is joined by Vyshnavee Wijekumar for a jam-packed episode!
First up, we preview Cinema Reborn, an annual film festival dedicated to the restoration and celebration of cinema history. Flick chats with festival organisers Grace Boschetti and Digby Houghton about this year’s program and the importance of film preservation. The festival runs May 8–13 at Lido Cinemas. Learn more about the program via the Cinema Reborn website.
We also review two compelling new series: The Narrow Road to the Deep North is based on Richard Flanagan’s acclaimed novel, is a new Australian miniseries that follows WWII army surgeon and prisoner of war on the Thai Burmese railways Dorrigo, both sustain and haunted by his past. Directed by Justin Kurzel and starring Jacob Elordi, it’s now streaming on Amazon Prime.
Dying for Sex is a bold new comedy-drama on Disney+ and stars Michelle Williams as a woman diagnosed with stage IV cancer who embarks on a journey of sexual discovery, with support from her best friend, played by Jenny Slate.
