\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Back in 1998 Mike Figgis<\/a><\/strong> recorded a series of interviews with actors, director and producers.<\/p>\n

It was primarily for Part 10<\/a> of the Faber Projections<\/a> series, which was published in 1999.<\/p>\n

I’d read the book when it came out but now Figgis has uploaded videos of the original interviews to his Vimeo channel<\/a>, which were first shown on Film Four in 1999 (before it became Film4<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Most were conducted in his office on the Sony Pictures lot and featured candid and often fascinating conversations about the film industry with some key players.<\/p>\n

Part of what’s intriguing about them is to consider how much things have (or have not) changed since then.<\/p>\n
