Tell us some of the films you’re looking forward to at this year's festival:

• Them That Follow
• Portrait of a Lady on Fire
• Animals by Sophie Hyde
• and the selection of short films – such a wonderful platform for new talent. So many gifted friends are being celebrated this year, and I can't wait to see what they do next as they are such fierce image makers! 

What is your guilty pleasure film?

My all time favuotie is Drop Dead Gorgeous. 

What is your all-time favourite film?

My all-time is forever changing but I always revisit Ida by Pawel Pawlikowski, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night by Ana Lily Amirpour and Youth by Paolo Sorrentino.

Which actor would play you in a film?

Ha! That's hilarious to even imagine... let's go with Olivia Colman – that would be a hoot and she'd make me far more interesting.
