Your support makes all the difference.Britain produces some of the best films in the world because of its multicultural society, “huge history” and talent for comedy, the actress Carey Mulligan has claimed.
Mulligan, whose latest films include Inside Llewyn Davis, Far from the Madding Crowd and Suffragette (2015), was interviewed by Catherine Hampton, 16, for an educational film festival for young people called Into Film, The Daily Telegraph reported.
Asked what was the best thing about making films in Britain, she said: “They’re just better! There’s just an amazing wealth of talent in Britain, there’s incredible actors and incredible directors and cinematographers and art directors and costume designers.
“We’ve got a huge history here so there’s so many stories to tell and we’ve got a really amazing multicultural society and so that has so many stories.
“I think we’re really good at comedy and really good at real, honest drama as well.”
Into Film is designed for people aged from five to 19 and is being held in different venues across the UK from 4 to 20 November.
