Episode 8 - Long Takes feat. Kathleen Hepburn & Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers

We’re excited to host filmmakers Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers &Kathleen Hepburn (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathleen_Hepburn), who join us for a discussion about long takes — shots that last for an extended period of time without cutting — and, in particular, their groundbreaking use of an 90-minute long take in their 2019 feature film The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Body_Remembers_When_…). Shot entirely on 16mm film, Hepburn and Tailfeathers collaborated with cinematographer Norm Li to overcome the format’s limitations to achieve this aesthetic feat.
