Guess Who Talked Beatles, AI & Indie Films? Arundhati Roy!

Arundhati Roy speaking on stage at BFI Southbank.
  • Arundhati Roy’s thoughts on using Beatles songs (without permission!)
  • The growing buzz around AI in movies.
  • Why indie films still rock with their unique vibe.

You know how much we love a good chat about films and music! Well, imagine our excitement when Booker Prize winner Arundhati Roy opened up at the London Indian Film Festival. She was there for the UK premiere of her film’s 4K restoration. “In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones” is a true classic.

But get this: she talked about using The Beatles’ songs in the film. Unauthorised! It’s a cheeky move, right? She really got into the nitty-gritty of that decision. What a story behind the scenes!

Then came the future talk. AI in cinema. It’s everywhere now, even in movies! Arundhati shared her thoughts on how machines are changing the film world. A big topic, for sure.

And for all you art lovers, she also championed indie filmmaking. She spoke about its beautiful, ‘handmade aesthetic’. That raw, unique visual style just hits differently. It’s all about that personal touch.

Our Take

We at BuzzMedia think this conversation is so important. From vintage music rights to future tech and the timeless appeal of indie art, Arundhati really hit on some big ideas. It just shows that stories behind the screen are often as good as the ones on it. What a mind!
