Guest Picks: Director Suri Krishnamma

Guest Picks: Director Suri Krishnamma

The collective experience of audiences in a cinema watching great films is at the heart what Park Circus is about. We love films, shared stories and escapism, and have asked some of our friends from across the film industry to recommend some of their favourite films for audiences to enjoy when it is safe for cinemas to reopen.

This week, director Suri Krishnamma takes us through some of of his personal favourites.

A three time BAFTA nominee, Suri Krishnamma has directed seven feature films including the award winning Dark Tourist and A Man of No Importance starring Albert Finney. His film New Year’s Day was named Best UK Feature Film at Raindance 2001.

In addition to his directing work, Suri is Professor of Film at Norwich University of the Arts, Honorary Fellow of the Arts University Bournemouth and is a past President of the Jury for the Munich International Festival of Film Schools.

His Guest Picks are wonderfully varied, including seminal works such as Citizen Kane and Blue Velvet, in addition to a few modern classics such as Ken Loach’s 1994 drama-documentary Ladybird Ladybird and 2006’s Oscar®-winning dark fantasy from Guillermo del Toro, Pan’s Labyrinth.
