39 - Garth Davis Talks Foe and Contemporary Sci-Fi

Garth Davis is a director from Melbourne whose credits include the 6-time Oscar nominated Lion (2016), Mary Magdalene (2018), episodes of Jane Campion's show Top Of The Lake, and most recently Foe (2023). This episode we chatted about his beginnings in directing commercials, his first documentary feature in 2000 (one of Greig Fraser's first projects as DOP), his long-standing collaboration with previous Sound Perspective guest Robert Mackenzie, and his newest film, Foe: a heady blend of sci-fi and drama starring Paul Mescal and Saoirse Ronan in a dystopian future Earth. Foe is currently in cinemas in Australia, and will soon be streaming on Amazon Prime.
