BFI Player is excited to announce the exclusive premiere of George Clooney In Conversation, streaming from Tuesday, 2 December. Recorded live at BFI Southbank, this event marks the launch of a fresh season of In Conversation sessions, highlighting some of today’s most celebrated figures in cinema.
A rare opportunity to hear George Clooney reflect on his remarkable career
The live event held on 21 November at BFI Southbank, hosted by Edith Bowman, drew a full house eager to listen as actor and filmmaker George Clooney took audiences on a journey through his 45-year career. From indie gems like O Brother, Where Art Thou? to blockbusters such as Ocean’s Eleven, and award-winning titles including Good Night, and Good Luck and Gravity, Clooney shared candid insights on his work, politics and why he avoids social media.
He also offered a glimpse into his latest role in Jay Kelly, the new film by Noah Baumbach, in which he portrays an actor on a journey of self-reflection — mirroring the themes explored during the BFI conversation itself.
