In conversation with journalist and broadcaster Miranda Sawyer, hear one of our most exciting contemporary artists as she discusses her life, her work and the space where the two converge. BAFTA-winning British filmmaker Carol Morley is fast making her mark as an innovative director and screenwriter of challenging, enthralling subjects. From her compelling docu-drama 'Dreams of a Life', a moving exploration of the life of 39 year old Joyce Carol Vincent, whose body was discovered two years after her death in her Wood Green bedsit, to last year's widely-regarded BFI and BBC film 'The Falling', chronicling the spread of a fainting epidemic in an English girls school. This talk celebrates the publication of her semi-autobiographical debut novel, '7 Miles Out', a darkly funny, poignant and searing portrayal of a teenager growing up in the aftermath of her father’s suicide.
