    INTERVIEW. En ny rettighedsaftale har sået tvivl om Netflix’ fremadrettede engagement i dansk tv-fiktion og dermed også om, hvilken skæbne der imødegår det måske største danske Netflixfænomen: Kastanjemanden. I den anledning har vi valgt at bringe et interview med forfatteren Søren Sveistrup fra slutningen af 2021, da det stadig virkede oplagt, at Kastanjemanden skulle fortsættes. Sveistrup fortæller om seriens tilblivelse, om forskellige krimitraditioner og forskellene mellem at arbejde på en serie til DR og Netflix. Tiden må vise, hvad der står i vente for Kastanjemanden.

    16:9 TALKS. Joel Fields is a writer and executive producer who worked as showrunner on the acclaimed period drama The Americans. In this interview, Fields talks about the conceptualization and development of The Americans, and he talks about authenticity, music and the so-called “antihero genre”. We have seen many tragic heroes and antiheroes in literature, theater, film and television – from Richard III to Tony Soprano and Walter White – but Elizabeth and Philip Jennings were never conceived as antiheroes. That question and ‘the question of authenticity’ are central to this interview with Joel Fields, who also talks about growing up at a time of international conflict, tension and paranoia.

    INTERVIEW. Tim Hunter is an esteemed film and TV director who began his career as a writer of independent movies, before going on to become one of the most famous episode directors in American television. 16:9 met him in Los Angeles for a talk about his career, about the film and television industries, about his predilection for stories and film history and about the changes in the mediascape. Fittingly, the interview is lengthy, inclusive and anecdotal, forming a sort of double feature that tells the small story of one director and writer in Hollywood and a larger story of Hollywood itself and the changes in the industry.

    ET BILLEDES ANATOMI. De færreste filmkritikere og -teoretikere har nogensinde værdige Jean-Claude Van Damme et blik, og det bugner ikke ligefrem med akademiske behandlinger af film som Bloodsport (1988) og Kickboxer (1989). I denne korte artikel handler det dog netop om Bloodsport og Kickboxer, og her handler det netop om blikket og om skuelysten.
