Felipe Bustos Sierra (Everybody to Kenmure Street)

About this episode

Felipe Bustos Sierra discusses his film 'Everybody to Kenmure Street' and its themes of resistance and identity.

Director’s Felipe Bustos Sierra’s latest film, “Everybody to Kenmure Street”, which chronicles the resistance to an immigration raid in Glasgow in 2021, is a brilliant and personal evocation of his own identity as the son of an exiled journalist by the Chilean dictatorship. In his discussion with Tiller, Felipe shares how injustice is a common language (4:00), when he knew that he had to make this film (10:30), how the camera is a weapon of resistance (22:00), incorporating Emma Thompson into the film (33:00), and his full circle advice for a young filmmaker (40:30).
