Asif Kapadia has won renown for his biographical portraits in "Senna", "Diego Maradona" and the Oscar-winning "Amy". In this wide-ranging conversation, he speaks about the setbacks and breakthroughs in his career. The topics include his clash with Harvey Weinstein over his fiction feature "The Warrior" and being plunged into an Oscar campaign with "Amy".
Pure Nonfiction host Thom Powers interviewed Asif in March at CPH: DOX in Copenhagen. Asif was there to present "Creature", a dance film that's a collaboration with the choreographer Akram Khan, starring Jeffrey Cirio. The Guardian described "Creature" as "something genuinely strange which can’t be pinned down to a single explanation."
Asif previously appeared on episode 108 where he went deeper into the making of his documentaries.
