Slow Horses: Saul Metzstein, talks about architecture and cinema

Only one ticket left for this special talk. Saul Metzstein is an award winning director of feature films and television dramas. He directed seasons 3 and 5 of Slow Horses. Saul studied architecture at Cambridge before taking on production roles on Trainspotting and Shallow Grave. He subsequently directed documentaries on Gillespie, Kidd & Coia and five episodes of the seventh series of Doctor Who. His father was modernist architect Isi Metzstein. Saul's direction of Slow Horses is recognised for its incorporation of architecture as an important part of the narrative. Episodes used the Barbican as an elaborate framing device for characters, creating a heightened sense of tension and allowing a greater connection with the characters. Scenes shot inside a secure underground vault increased the claustrophobic nature of the incident, with the feeling that not only forces of evil were closing in, but so were the walls of the building. ...
