The New Current

Verified
Online/Digital
The New Current started out as a music website that offered unique interviews and reviews from bands all over the world. Through using MYSPACE we connected with bands and singers who wanted their music to be heard. What made TNC unique was that we didn't take a penny from acts, big or small, who wanted us to review, feature or for interview. This gave TNC a great edge and we set out to create an arts and culture website that provided a unique and unrestricted voice within the arts. TNC has grown to include film, television, theatre, literature and art. The New Current does not advertise, we do not copy and paste press releases, and we DO NOT charge any creative for listings, interviews or reviews. Source

What would you say have been the most valuable lessons you took away from the short that will help you as you start on the feature? We definitely could have used an extra day on the short - it was a lot to fit in and everyone did a great job, but it would have been more comfortable if we’d had some extra time.

Film Interview 2025: Shehrezad Maher

| The New Current Verified
When Ayaan becomes a temporary caregiver for his grandmother, they find themselves adrift in the gulf of a language barrier. In the silence, spectres of a colonial past shift how he sees strangers and himself. ​ Hi Shehrezad, thank you for taking the time to talk with us. I wanted to start by asking how The Curfew come about, what inspired your screenplay? One of the earlier inspirations was a photo taken in Amritsar, India, in 1919, of an Indian man crawling at the feet of three British soldiers.

The Importance of Being Earnest

| The New Current Verified
For a moment, we can gloss over the seeming trivialities of marriage being the only thing a young lady can look forward to; if we pause, inside the farce, there is something pretty special. For Gwendolen and Cicely, marriage is a sense of freedom and offers them a type of independence that they currently don’t have. Gwendolen’s independence is curtailed by her domineering mother, and with Jack comfortably set up in the country, this is a match that allows her the best chance of freedom.

Did this inclusion of your father impact the journey of the piece? It was interesting how their stories diverged for the first part of their lives, from the moment they met and got married, the transcripts are almost the same. They talk about all the same stuff, but from different perspectives. I had the idea that Benedict would play my dad at some point and then started cutting a version of all the transcripts where we turned the interviews into a of stream of consciousness monologue.

Ophélia Kolb puts in an incredible performance. Like with the kids, it feels very genuine. It feels like she is going through what her character is going through. She is feeling what the character is feeling, and so did you have an idea already of who you wanted to play your lead Jule? JG: I actually didn't and I thought of her at some point because I saw her in a lot of French series. She also does a lot of theatre in Paris.

TNC Archieve Review 2016: Police Cops

| The New Current Verified
The pace is manic, quick, and filled with the expected homoerotic undertones that are as subtle as a double entendre. Costume changes are done at either side of the stage and yet remain surprising throughout. The tightly choreographed movement within the show means any major slip can hugely impact the flow they've created.
