Edinburgh Screen Conversations - Gerard Johnson

Film Studies (University of Edinburgh)

Writer-director Gerard Johnson (Tony, Hyena, Muscle) will be joining us for an in-depth conversation about his extraordinary career

Gerard Johnson’s formally daring, boundary-pushing work has established the London-born writer-director as a vital, singular voice in contemporary cinema. His three features – Tony (2009), Hyena (2014) and Muscle (2019) – blend social realism with breathtaking, often unsettling stylisation, leading many critics to make comparisons with the work of Nicolas Winding Refn and Gaspar Noé. The conversation will take in Gerard’s beginnings in short films, his three acclaimed features, his influences, as well as his work with regular collaborators such as actor Peter Ferdinando and composer Matt Johnson (Gerard’s older brother, and frontman of legendary British post-punk band The The).The event is hosted by Film Studies at the University of Edinburgh and is part of the Edinburgh Screen Conversations series. The event is free and open to all.It will take place on Zoom on Monday 6th December 2021, 16:00 - 17:00 (UK time). Registration closes on Sunday 5th December at 16:00, after which a link to access the event will be emailed to participants.If you have any queries, please email: p.iannone@ed.ac.uk
