Greta Gerwig, Judd Apatow, Open-air screenings

Presented by Antonia Quirke. Greta Gerwig, star of Mistress America, talks about her favourite director, Judd Apatow discusses Trainwreck, and Antonia braves an open-air screening.

With Antonia Quirke

Greta Gerwig, writer and star of Mistress America, talks about what it's like to write with her romantic partner Noah Baumbach and her life as a teenage fencer and dancer.

Judd Apatow discusses his bad taste comedy Trainwreck and why Hollywood has a problem with potty-mouthed, sexually unfettered women

As someone whose ideal cinematic experience is watching a movie in an empty auditorium on a Tuesday afternoon, Antonia has never understood the appeal of the outdoor screening. So to find out just what all the fuss is about, she braves an open air showing of Withnail And I with critic Tim Robey.
