Retrospective: Kris Marshall
“If you look at the list of directors who have started in short films - Ridley Scott, Stephen Daldry and others, it is clear that shorts underpin the film industry in this country, and have always been the place to look for groundbreaking talent. I love being involved in them” [Kris Marshall]
Many people will have first encountered Marshall in Toby MacDonald’s affectionate homage to Nouvelle Vague cinema, JE T’AIME JOHN WAYNE. Despite increasing work in television, theatre and features, Marshall has continued to make short films, showing a rare and inquisitive loyalty to the format and taking on a diverse range of roles, from the comic to the much darker territory of Jack Herbert’s DOG FLAP.
Join us in conversation with Kris Marshall following a screening of those short films, and discover his influences, ideal collaborators and the filmmakers currently rocking his world.
