British Film Institute

Sight & Sound production editor Isabel Stevens guest hosts on an episode about the history of all-female director-actor partnerships, from Frances Marion and Mary Pickford's box office busting silent films to Michelle Williams and Kelly Reichardt's collaboration, which has produced films like Wendy & Lucy and Meek's Cutoff - stories of women challenging patriarchal assumptions about their place in society. Plus, we look at the troubling relationship between director Catherine Breillat and actor Roxane Mesquida - whose second film together explored the experience of shooting of an exploitative sex scene in their first. The British Film Institute's podcast is an audio adventure through the BFI's archives. Each fortnight host Henry Barnes will be joined by a special guest to dig into their cinematic passion, be it a director, a genre, a franchise or a meme. This episode includes clips from the following films: - Dawson’s Creek, “Road Trip”, Season 1, episode 9. Directed by Steven Robman and released
