Gurinder Chadha

Gurinder has changed the landscape of cinema - not only for Brits or UK Asians but for the whole world. She’s a director, writer and a great friend who talks openly about how the movie industry responded to Black Lives Matter and the Me Too movement. She’s also got some amazing projects coming up! This lady is an inspiration and I’m so grateful she’s kicking off the brand new podcast!

Gurinder Chadha doesn’t make dance films or musicals – but with the slightest nudge, films like Bend It Like Beckham, Bride and Prejudice and Blinded by the Light could easily become full-blown song-and-dance spectaculars. On Why Dance Matters, Gurinder describes how dance formed her own British-Asian identity – from kathak classes to daytimers – and how she encourages her cast and crew to have a bop on set. And, speaking as the UK edges out of lockdown, she explains why live audiences are just as crucial in cinema as in dance.

Hugh and Les look back at a key Britflick from the start of this century, as well as the career of Diaspora Indian director Gurinder Chadha, whose career this put on the map.

We were so lucky this week to have the chance to speak to Gurinder Chadha, director of Blinded By The Light. The acclaimed filmmaker joined us on Friday for our live watch-along, as well as speaking to us on Instagram Live both before and after the movie to chat and answer questions. Gurinder gave us amazing insights into the way the film came to life, what it was like to watch Bruce Springsteen watching it for the first time, how her messages of hope and humanity resonate so strongly right now and her favourite sections from the movie.  We also spoke to Meera Ganatra, who played Javed's mother Noor in the film - she told us how she was selected, what it was like to work on a major feature film for the first time and how it felt to see the finished product.
