Next week, in a new and extended episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with director Atom Egoyan (SEVEN VEILS, THE SWEET HEREAFTER, EXOTICA). Atom was born in Cairo and raised in Canada, and his young love for theatre grew to encompass filmmaking after a hard rejection in college. Throughout our winding conversation, we discuss the creation of many of his films, and Atom asks us a few questions too! We also learn why Atom chose to avoid shooting a conventional historical drama when he conceived of ARARAT, a film about the Armenian Genocide, and we reflect on cinema’s ability to communicate the horrors of history.⁠ ⁠ Hear more next week!⁠ -⁠ Recommended Viewing: ARARAT, THE SWEET HEREAFTER⁠ -⁠ Photo Credit: Tina Rowden⁠ -⁠ This episode is sponsored by Aputure⁠ & Sandstorm⁠ Instagram: aputure.lighting⁠ & sandstorm_films⁠ -⁠ #teamdeakins #rogerdeakins #rogeradeakins #sirRoger #bywaysBook #jamesellisdeakins #teamdeakinspodcast #atomEgoyan #director #directing #stillPhotography #vis...
