The Squeamer-Sonja Hammer talks to the amazing film maker Madeleine Olnek on the phone line with the snow storm of New York City, just before the 1st Australian screening of her latest film of’comedy realism’ the new lesbian and female buddy movie…. her take on the Midnight Cowboy movie… (but with 2 women ):
Madeleine talks about The Sundance film festival in the U.S and her premiere of The Foxy Merkins in Moscow for the Moscow International Film Festival and how culturally challenging ( and safety concerning) it was to be showing a Lesbian movie in Russia today !
So what is a Merkin? What has happened since her last award winning movie Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same (which one The Audience award in MQFF in 2012) ? What is the PROCESS of making an Olnek film? What is her philosophy of life and the art of film making ? being a Lesbian and a female film maker today? and what next for Madeleine Olnek ?
So LISTEN to this Podcast with Sonja and Madeleine as they catch up 2 years later with the same poor phone quality LOL !
