Watch a film, then stick around for a cosy chat with the likes of Céline Sci­amma and Mia Hansen-Løve.

As we all attempt to find our feet amid glob­al chaos, film dis­trib­u­tors are hav­ing to work espe­cial­ly hard to keep things tick­ing over until that blessed day when we emerge blink­ing into the sun and dive straight back through the doors of our near­est cinema.

In efforts to keep cin­e­ma alive and our spir­its up, the good folks at Cur­zon have just announced a new pro­gramme of live Q&As with a whole host of tal­ent­ed film­mak­ers, which you can join in with from the com­fort of your bed/​sofa/​bunker.

Start­ing this Fri­day with the launch of Nora Fingscheidt’s Sys­tem Crash­er, the series will see films avail­able to stream on the Cur­zon Home Cin­e­ma plat­form, fol­lowed by a live Q&A with the direc­tor in the evening. To add to the sense of com­mu­ni­ty, Cur­zon are encour­ag­ing view­ers to tune in togeth­er at 6.45pm GMT before the Q&A starts at 9pm.

There’s an impres­sive ros­ter of films and tal­ent head­ed our way, with Joan­na Hogg (The Sou­venir), Whit Still­man (Love & Friend­ship), Andrew Haigh (45 Years), Céline Sci­amma (Por­trait of a Lady on Fire), Mark Jenkin (Bait), Mia Hansen-Løve (Things to Come) and Ruben Östlund (Force Majeure) all con­firmed, and more names to come.

Although the pre­car­i­ous­ness of our present sit­u­a­tion can’t be under­es­ti­mat­ed, spend­ing time immersed in these sin­gu­lar works – and then get­ting to dis­cuss them with their cre­ators – def­i­nite­ly helps off­set the sting a little.

Make sure you fol­low @CurzonCinemas for sched­ule announce­ments and get ready to kick back, relax, and join some of the finest film­mak­ers work­ing today for a unique insight into their work.
