## Resource

Nikki Bedi speaks to fresh new voice in Indian cinema, the director Rohan Kanawade, about his groundbreaking Cactus Pears (Sabar Bonda). The first Marathi-language film to premiere at the Sundance Festival, it was also the first drama from India to win an International Grand Jury Prize. Kanawade reflects on growing up in a Mumbai slum with parents who accepted his sexuality, and how he drew on the experience of mourning his father. We also hear from Amy Adams about the new TV adaptation of Cape Fear. Nadia Latif talks about adapting Iran-set horror movie Under the Shadow for theatre. One of France’s most acclaimed directors, Francois Ozon, discusses his take on Albert Camus’ The Stranger. Also on the programme: musical icon Chaka Khan, Norwegian-American writer Siri Hustvedt on losing her husband, the novelist Paul Auster, and the boundary-pushing Ghanian-Australian musician Genesis Owusu. Plus, critic Arifa Akbar gives her take on these cultural highlights of the week, and more. Presenter: Nikki Bedi Producer: Ciaran Bermingham
