Future of Cinema

In a special edition, Talking Movies reports on the impact of the pandemic and the widespread protests over racism in the wake of the death of George Floyd on the making of cinema in the future.

A special feature looks at how these tumultuous events may give rise to a distinct new genre of film-making as previous calamitous events such as world wars and severe economic strife have done in the past.

The programme also examines major changes taking place at the Academy in Los Angeles to make the Oscars more inclusive.
