Kate, Sophie and Lee then look at the films of legendary documentarian Shirley Clarke for our semi-regular mini-Hyphenates segment. Finally, Kate takes us through the career of her filmmaker of the month – a filmmaker Kate worked with on many occasions – the brilliant Antonia Bird.

Just noting that Kate mentions that the BFI “can’t find a copy of Priest” (at 33:20). Which is weird as it’s definately listed in the retrospective (https://whatson.bfi.org.uk/Online/default.asp?BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::permalink=antoniabird&BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::context_id=) Not sure if Kate’s meaning a diferent film (possibly “Safe”, which isn’t in the festival, or that the BFI didn’t have a copy and had to get it through BBC Films?
