  1. Director Sofia Coppola on Making Marie Antoinette

    Oct 21

    Director Sofia Coppola on Making Marie Antoinette

    Director Sofia Coppola on completing her mother Eleanor’s documentary about the making of Sofia’s feature Marie Antoinette, following her death. The film goes behind the scenes of the lavish 2006 biopic starring Kirsten Dunst - in spectacular locations such as Versailles - and is in cinemas around the UK from this Friday. Can prescribing culture - such as choirs, art classes and poetry workshops - improve young people's mental health? As the Southbank Centre in London launches Ombri, a new referral platform prescribing access to arts for young people, we're joined by the centre's Artistic Director, Mark Ball, and by GP and broadcaster Margaret McCartney, to discuss the practicalities of prescribing culture, how to ensure young people from disadvantaged communities are reached, and how the success of a scheme such as this can be measured. Pulitzer Prize-winning Argentinian-American writer Hernan Diaz has mined history as inspiration for his previous novels, but in his latest, Ply, he looks to a dystopian future, and a city, resembling a decaying New York, in which his central character, a "pincher" steals electricity from the grid to power a underground music scene, but risks the wrath of the authorities, He tells us about moving into the realm of speculative fiction and about how he was inspired by everything from ancient Greek philosophy to 21st century particle accelerators.

    new parents mark ballas and bc jean

    Today we’re joined by the one and only Mark Ballas and his wife, BC Jean Ballas! Mark and I go way back to season 8 of Dancing with the Stars where we won the Mirrorball trophy and became the champions together! Earlier this year, Mark announced his retirement from DWTS and a few months later, he and BC announced they were pregnant! We couldn’t be happier for them and it’s been so fun knowing BC and I are both pregnant at the same time! We hope you enjoy this interview with this incredibly talented couple and be sure to check out their latest song, “Rainbow.” Link below! Love you guys! Shawn and Andrew Check out their song RAINBOW 🌈 https://ffm.to/alexanderjean_rainbow "We lost a baby last year, just when we thought we were in a good place to tell friends + family we received the heavy news that our little one wasn’t going to make it, we’ve both been through hard things in our lives but this was a different kind of sadness, this song is for anyone that has experienced loss in any form, We hope it brings the listener some kind of peace & reminds them that a rainbow isn’t far behind." Check out their song SO SMALL: https://ffm.to/alexanderjean_sosmall "This song is a musical diary of the beautiful chaos and transformative journey of becoming a parent. It all started with a guitar riff and concept we were saving for when we had a baby of our own. Once we got the good news that we were expecting, we were able to tap into our raw emotions that this next chapter of life brings, painting an intimate portrait of this new overwhelming love for our tiny human we have yet to meet. This lullaby is for anyone who is a parent or expecting to be.
