Jonás and Alfonso Cuarón on Año Uña

27-11-2008 by Ambrose Heron

Año Uña is a new film directed by Jonás Cuarón about a Mexican teenager and an older American woman who meet one summer in Mexico.

Unusually, it was edited entirely from photographic stills and was made without a script or set.

I recently spoke to Jonás and his father Alfonso Cuarón, who served as an exec producer and is a noted director in his own right having made such films as Children of Men and Y Tu Mama Tambien.

We spoke about this movie, the business of making films on a smaller scale, new distribution models for films on the web and the wider future of cinema in general.

Año Uña is out at selected UK cinemas from Friday
