FFG2023 | Director's Talk Ken Loach

FFG2023 | Director's Talk Ken Loach In 2016, Ken Loach won a Joseph Plateau Honorary Award at Film Fest Gent. Seven years later, he returns with his very last film, The Old Oak. The ever-militant and combative director earned worldwide acclaim with his gripping drama Kes, conquering the hearts of hard-working Brits as well as the cinephile in the decades that followed. No filmmaker has devoted so much of his work to the life and suffering of the working class. Even today, Loach believes in the power of cinema. After the screening of The Old Oak, he took ample time to look back on his career.
