On this week’s episode of The Screen Podcast, two Gen Z cinemagoers share their thoughts on everything from Steven Spielberg to social media marketing.

Screen’s reporter and video producer Ellie Calnan is joined by Dylan Taylor, 18, and Olivia Lawson, 23.

They also discussed why long release windows make a difference, what the industry gets wrong about Gen Z and whether movie stars still have appeal.

Screen rounds up the key industry talking points from the late summer film festivals.

First host Wendy Mitchell talks to Ben Dalton, senior UK and international reporter, about their time at the Edinburgh International Film Festival (EIFF). The duo discuss how the event interacts with the Fringe, Claire Binns’ “interrogation” of BFI CEO Ben Roberts and why the festival’s Trainspotting event was a certified hit.

Mitchell is then joined by Europe editor Tim Dams to get the lowdown on this year’s Locarno Film Festival, from how attendees coped in the heatwave to why it was another buzzy industry programme.

Finally, Mitchell speaks to Screen’s senior UK and Ireland reporter Mona Tabbara from the ground in Sarajevo. She reveals some of the films impressing festivalgoers, and why Woody Harrelson was drinking Irish whiskey and singing Elvis on stage.
