S2 Ep3: Always on: Clare Binns - The Ritzy, Sandra Hüller & Picturehouse

So interesting 'cause I think for me, growing up, I really struggled with watching film.

I connected a lot more with TV shows-

Mm

... because I have ADHD.

Right.

And I really struggled with not getting distracted for long amounts of time.

And so the second I sort of went into a cinema and all of that distraction was gone, you know, you can't go on your phone, no one's walking in and out, the lights are down, I suddenly started locking in and hyper-fixating on film.

Mm.

And I had a second wave of that when I was a bit older, and I started discovering international film, and I moved to London, and I could go to these sort of different sort of chains of cinema and had access to those films, and then streaming platforms like MUBI and things like that.

I could see a lot more, and I think it's-- I'm sure there's so many people like me that struggle almost with...

Because especially with foreign language films, you're, there's another layer of concentration-

Yeah

... 'cause you're kind of reading at the same time, and I think that's what I meant by that second wave of sort of hyper-fixating on films, on international films 'cause you're, there's a deeper sort of layer there that you're suddenly unlocking that opens your mind even further.

Yeah.

And I think especially with Picturehouse, like, not only is it so, um, inclusive with the types of cinema you're showing alongside the mainstream films, but also your screenings are so inclusive as well.

You know, you've got things for silver screenings and, um, uh, mothers bringing babies.

Mm.

And I just think that's so lovely because it's, it really is for everyone-

Mm

...

in terms of who's coming and what you're showing.

Yeah.

And, um, yeah.

Well, we try.

Yeah.
