It’s been a long time coming but I’ve finally packed the DN bags, jumped on a plane and hit the indie directors’ favourite film festival, South by Southwest, or SXSW for those in the know. We open up with an interview for a film I originally saw at last year’s London Film Festival, but whose gentle charm has stuck in my mind ever since, Ken Wardrop’s His & Hers. I spoke to Ken about the jump from shorts to features and how the stories of women from middle Ireland can have the power to touch festival audiences around the world.
SXSW folks can catch His & Hers tonight at 7pm & on Thu, Mar 18th at 2pm.

His & Hers
MarBelle has a strange compulsion to watch as many films as he can get his hands on and find jobs that give him a legitimate excuse to drill filmmakers about their work. Directors Notes is the latest incarnation of this disorder and so much cheaper than film school. Twitter: @MarBelle
