Stars Jeremy Theobald and Lucy Russell discuss the making of Christopher Nolan’s first feature, which was shot on 16mm film on a very low budget, whilst the key cast and crew were only in their 20s.

This Q&A followed a BFI Recommends screening of Following in the Chapter Cinema, Cardiff on 15 July 2023, which opened with an exclusive recorded introduction by Christopher Nolan. The Q&A was hosted by Tom Betts and filmed by Tree Top Films. Artwork by Matt Needle.
