Amidst the two weeks of screenings and events that was The Times BFI 51st London Film Festival sat the calm oasis of the filmmakers’ breakfasts, which along with being a perfect opportunity to load up on coffee and croissants for the day, meant that I got to speak to some of the directors with their films fresh in mind.
The third in our series of LFF breakfast interviews is with Celine Sciamma the first time director of Water Lilies, a female coming of age film set against the backdrop of synchronised swimming.
