Director Ken Loach and screenwriter Paul Laverty have worked together on
12 feature-length and two short films, in the process becoming pioneers of
British social realist cinema with a humanist message. At 52n KVIFF, they
presented their 1995 film Land and Freedom, which was shown on the 30th
anniversary of the founding of the European Film Academy. They also received a
Crystal Globe for Outstanding Artistic Contribution to World Cinema. At the
KVIFF Talk, they talked about their careers and many years of working together.
Session was hosted by british journalist Neil Young.
The discussion touched the beginnings of the collaboration of the established
duo who have won two Golden Palms in Cannes, on Laverty’s only acting
experience in Land and Freedom as well as Loach’s method of capturing
actors’ authentic reactions. The relationship between the Englishman Loach and
the Scot Laverty is by all accounts very harmonious. “We only shout at each
other when we the telephone line is bad,” said Loach.
