SiA-nema or Sia the Filmmaker

In this episode we dedicate Movies, Movies, Movies to our revealing and meandering zoom interview with Sia, a 9-time Grammy nominee turned Adelaidean Dogme filmmaker. Her new film Music starring Maddie Ziegler and Kate Hudson has come out, marred by polarising opinions, making us wonder: does music make the people come together? A feature length musical feast the film is a mind-boggling experience covering addiction, disability, family ties, sisterhood, and how maturity makes the heart grow stronger. An album worth of new Sia tracks are included as well. We talk sickening editing, Lena Dunham’s backlash relief, Dogme 95 filmmaking, and drug dealing hope. Then, in Take Two, we share an excerpt of a longer interview with Bus Stop Films’ creatives Emily Dash and Genevieve Clay-Smith to discuss disability advocacy in film, and industry practice. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
