What’s in it for me? How actors choose scripts

Tom Hollander at work with Keira KnightleyA panel of actors, led by Tom Hollander(Pride & Prejudice, Lawless Heart) and Kerry Fox (An Angel at My Table, Intimacy, Shallow Grave) take to the stage to explore exactly what attracts them to the scripts they choose. We discuss how they balance the possibility of box office success against the potential for critical acclaim, and whether it's the role or the project that most influences their decision.

Screening - Unknown White Male

Documentary narratives in Unknown White MaleArriving at the end of the Brooklyn subway line, a handsome young man with a British accent finds himself in strange clothes, in an unfamiliar place, with absolutely no idea of who he is. Some time later the process of re-establishing his personal history begins. This true psychological and biological mystery is revealed by director Rupert Murray, who will be joined post-screening by producer Beadie Finzi and exec producer Jess Search to talk about the challenge of turning real life into extraordinary narrative.
