Next on stage is Kristy Matheson, the Creative Director of the Edinburgh International Film Festival 2022, who tells Anna how she selects a festival programme, and outlines her top picks from this 75th edition of the festival. The director of ZUHAL Nazli Elif Durlu then joins Anna and Kristy to share how she developed her film after meeting someone who heard cat noises in her apartment, which no one else could hear.
