EP 165 LITERATURE, CINEMA & THE AUDIENCE FT: SIVA ANANTH 

In this fantastic episode of The Artists podcast, we are joined by the legendary Sir David Sterritt—renowned film critic and scholar, celebrated for his extensive writings on Alfred Hitchcock, Jean-Luc Godard, and more recently, Martin Scorsese.

Sterritt, who previously appeared in Episode 89 where we explored Hitchcock, Godard, and Kiarostami (a must-listen if you haven’t already!), returns to unpack the essence of Pure Cinema—a term often used but rarely understood in its full cinematic depth.

He’s written for esteemed publications like MovieMaker, Sight and Sound, and Cinéaste, and his insights offer a compelling journey through both classic and modern film thinking.

🎬 This episode dives into:


What truly defines Pure Cinema


The dance between suspense, commerce, and artistic intent


Inside Hitchcock’s mind—his process, precision, and preoccupations


Vertigo


The ever-important role of the audience


2001: A Space Odyssey


And yes, we circle back to Scorsese—briefly, but brilliantly

A treat for cinephiles, filmmakers, and anyone curious about the grammar of great cinema.

EP 163 HITCHCOCK & PURE CINEMA

🎭 A powerful new episode of THE ARTISTS PODCAST is live!

This time, we're joined by the brilliant Abhishek Majumdar—playwright, theatre director, professor at NYU, and an incisive thinker on all things drama and performance.

This is not just a conversation; it's a deep dive into the very structure of drama—where it comes from, how we’ve been shaped by Aristotle and Shakespeare, and how we can begin to break those molds to create original work.

🔍 What does the word drama even mean today?
🧠 Why does the structure of our storytelling matter?
🎭 What’s the relationship between audience and society—and how do we honour both?
📚 Why is wide reading essential for original creation?
🤔 And... why does Shakespeare still remain the most celebrated playwright in history?

Tune in for a truly enlightening episode—this one's for every artist, creator, and curious mind.
