Sex, Love & War: The Art of the Intimate Interview

session room: Savoy 3
Steve Humphries, managing director of the award-winning and critically acclaimed production company Testimony Films, has conducted over 1000 interviews in a distinguished career producing more than a hundred life-story-based documentaries. His flair for making people open up on camera about their most intimate experiences has led to many compelling films on poignant, controversial and diverse subjects. These include Sex in a Cold Climate, voted by Broadcast Magazine as one of the Top Ten Documentaries That Changed The World, and the inspiration for the feature film The Magdalene Sisters. Here, in conversation with Channel 4’s David Glover, Steve uses clips from some of his films to reveal the secrets of his naturalistic approach to filmmaking and the art of the intimate interview.
