Barbara Broccoli and John Carney on SING STREET and Arinzé Kene on HARVEST

In this episode of Kermode on Film, Mark welcomes a trio of outstanding guests for a lively evening of film and conversation, recorded at the BFI Southbank on Monday 14th July 2025.

Barbara Broccoli and John Carney join Mark to talk about Sing Street, the joyous, music-filled coming-of-age story originally brought to life on screen by Carney, now reimagined for the stage. As producers of the new production opening at the Lyric Hammersmith on 18 July, they discuss the creative journey from film to musical theatre and the power of music to transcend time and appeal to a wide range of audiences.

Also on the show is actor and playwright Arinzé Kene, who stars in Harvest, an adaptation of Jim Crace’s acclaimed novel, directed by Athina Rachel Tsangari. With its UK cinema release set for Friday 18 July, Arinzé shares his thoughts on the film’s exploration of rural upheaval, tradition, and transformation.

This is the first half of the 14 July MK3D show. In Part 2, Mark is joined by Allison Anders, the director of Gas Food Lodging and Grace of My Heart, and beloved writer, actor, and broadcaster Stephen Fry, who reflects on his enduring relationship with cinema, storytelling, and satire.
