Isaac Julien and Barry Jenkins on Chanel's podcast
October 13, 2023
Barry Jenkins and Isaac Julien, two giants of filmmaking, whose creative sensibilities have much in common were part of the 3rd season of the Chanel Connects podcast series.
Both Julien and Jenkins have produced work that has profoundly shaped contemporary culture: Jenkins’s 2016 Academy Award-winning film Moonlight is a sensitive portrayal of Black masculinity, while Julien has been at the forefront of Black British filmmaking for over three decades. In the episode 9, Chanel brought them together for the very first time, in London, for a conversation about portraying vulnerability, the art of adapting literary texts, and the influence of beauty, music, and memory on their work.
