This week Rhys and Billy chat to film scholar Dr Steve Cannon about the French New Wave. The conversation begins discussing the emergence of the New Wave and how it captures the spirit of the era of 1950’s and 1960’s France.

The team discuss the innovations of the New Wave directors, not only with new film techniques such as direct address to the audience, but also with ideas and style.

Most important of all is the influence of French New Wave in the development of CineClub itself…

Our presenters are Rhys and Billy with Dr Steve Cannon. The episode was engineered and edited by Emily Main.
