Todd Haynes: Nobody Should Feel Free, Until Everybody is Free

Todd Haynes: Nobody Should Feel Free, Until Everybody is Free

Author: Locarno Film Festival September 2, 2022 Duration: 35:25
Todd Haynes discusses with Futurespectives host Gabby Sanderson why he finds it so important to explore the themes of music, pop culture and sexuality in his films. The prolific director and screenwriter also considers why macho stereotypes in action movies can encourage toxic masculinity and how recruiting more females and minority voices in filmmaking is the answer to broadening society's points of view.

Hosted by Gabby Sanderson, Futurespectives is the official Locarno Film Festival podcast presented by UBS. It moves beyond standard red-carpet interviews to explore the deeper currents running through contemporary cinema. Each conversation with an illustrious guest-whether a celebrated actor like Matt Dillon or a rising star such as Daisy Edgar-Jones-feels like a candid, meandering talk after the credits have rolled. The discussions are less about promoting a specific project and more about uncovering the personal philosophies and untold stories that shape these artists and innovators. You’ll hear guests reflect on the search for purpose, the ongoing fight for equality and representation on screen, and how artistic expression can be a profound form of freedom. The tone is intimate and engaging, often funny, and always grounded in genuine curiosity. This podcast provides a unique auditory backstage pass, connecting the dots between the art on screen and the complex, inspiring individuals who create it. Tuning in offers a chance to gain new perspectives on the film industry's future, all through the thoughtful and personal lens of its most compelling voices.
