Rage Premiere & Q&A with Director Sally Porter
Using a radical narrative structure focused entirely on individual performances, Rage consists of a dynamic series of interviews, as if shot by a schoolboy on his mobile phone. He goes behind the scenes at a New York fashion show during a week in which a catwalk accident turns into a murder investigation. Fourteen actors, both celebrated stars and emerging talents, play characters who each have a role in the show, from the designer (Simon Abkarian) and his models (Lily Cole and Jude Law), the fashion critic (Judi Dench) and photographer (Steve Buscemi), to the fashion-house financier (Eddie Izzard) and his bodyguard (John Leguizamo). The radical style of Rage is also embraced in its unique distribution strategy, which sees the film premiered on mobile platforms and internet alongside its digital screen and DVD release.
The live premiere at BFI Southbank will be linked interactively with digital screens around the country, with audiences everywhere able to participate in the onstage Q&A.
