About this episode
Samuel Van Grinsven discusses his new film 'Went Up The Hill' and shares insights into its creation and themes.
Samuel Van Grinsven aka SVG joined Jen and Andj late last year in Adelaide after the world premiere of his new psychological supernatural minimalist second feature Went Up The Hill to find out how he set himself on fire in front of Vicky Krieps. His new film has already sold out the Sydney Opera House this week, and we'd love to know your reads of this ambiguous Aotearoa based ghost story. The FilmLordes try to guess his influences, techniques and plot points and are wrong about every single one of them. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
