The Road to Guantanamo as well as the hugely popular
The Trip series, Michael Winterbottom provides an insider”s view of the workings of international film funding and distribution, revealing how the studios that fund film production and control distribution networks also work against a sustainable independent film culture and limit innovation in filmmaking style and content.
