We're bringing you another of our Soundtracking Everyman film club interviews, recorded at Screen On The Green in Islington following a screening of the Marianne Faitfull documentary, Broken English. Edith's guests are directors Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, and Beth Orton, who is just one of a number of illustrious contributors to the film.

Edith Bowman sits down with the filmmakers and composers who define modern cinema, pulling back the curtain on the powerful, often unseen relationship between picture and score. Soundtracking with Edith Bowman is a conversation about creative partnership, exploring how a director’s vision and a composer’s music intertwine to shape the emotional core of a film or series. Each episode delves into specific scenes and pivotal moments, with guests sharing the stories behind the music-from initial temp tracks and thematic inspiration to the technical challenges of the recording studio. The discussions are intimate and detailed, revealing how a simple melody can become iconic and why certain chords evoke fear, joy, or nostalgia. Listeners gain a deeper appreciation for the craft, hearing firsthand how musical choices are debated, refined, and ultimately locked into the final cut. This podcast moves beyond simple soundtrack listings to examine the alchemy of collaboration, offering a unique backstage pass to the artistic process that fuels our favorite visual stories. It’s for anyone who has ever been moved by a film score and wondered about the people and decisions that made it possible.
