116 - 'My Friend The Polish Girl' - Cast and Crew Interviews (EIFF 2018)

Our eleventh day of podcast interviews and coverage from the 2018 Edinburgh International Film Festival continues.Today, we’re lucky to bring you interviews with the cast and crew of the fantastic british feature, 'My Friend The Polish Girl' with co-writers and directors, Ewa Banaszkiewicz and Mateusz Dymek and actors Emma Friedman-Cohen and Aneta Piotrowska'My Friend The Polish Girl' follows Katie (Emma Friedman-Cohen), a young American documentarian, casts a Polish woman in her film about the life of migrants in London after the Brexit referendum. Her only instruction as director to Alicja (Aneta Piotrowska) is: "Act as if I’m not here." However, as their relationship develops it becomes clear that all is not what it seems in Alicja’s life, and this would-be actor’s interest in both film and Katie deepens. The documentary soon becomes the narrative of a questionable game in which the two women challenge each other.
