What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole?

We're celebrating 21 years since the brilliant and ground breaking East is East burst into our cinemas. The classic BAFTA Award Winning Brit Flick was an hilarious movie with serious undertones - tackling both racism and domestic violence. Here the film's female lead Linda Bassett (Ella Khan) talks about the inspiration for the movie and the challenges the cast and crew faced in bringing Ayub Khan Din's original play (produced by Tamasha Theatre Company at the Royal Court) to the big screen. Linda's interview will be followed by chats with Lesley Nicol who played Auntie Annie and Chris Bisson who played Ella's son Saleem.
Distinct Nostalgia is a big champion of British film and you can hear other interviews on Distinct Nostalgia about Brief Encounter, Brassed Off, My Beautiful Laundrette, Oliver, The History Boys and Maurice. Soon we'll be adding The Crying Game to the list as we speak to creator, writer and director Neil Jordan.
The Distinct Nostalgia theme is composed by Rebecca Applin and Chris Warner. Distinct Nostalgia is an MIM Production in association with Life Rooms and the MerseyCare NHS Foundation Trust.
'Distinct Nostalgia is more than a podcast' we produce several shows a week covering soaps, film, comedy and all tv. And in all genres - interviews, reunions, drama, comedy - even a regular game show.
