Award-winning actor and artist Tilda Swinton discusses her remarkable career with FLC President Lesli Klainberg in a special event at the 60th New York Film Festival.
In the conversation, Swinton reflected on her illustrious acting career, which began with Caravaggio (1985), the first of seven films she made with the director Derek Jarman. She earned wider international acclaim in Orlando (1992), Sally Potter’s film based on the novel by Virginia Woolf. In addition to Hogg, the extensive list of distinguished directors with whom Swinton has worked with includes Pedro Almodóvar, Joel and Ethan Coen, Luca Guadagnino, Bong Joon Ho, Jim Jarmusch, Lynne Ramsay, Béla Tarr, Wes Anderson, and Apichatpong Weerasethakul. She received the BAFTA and Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2008 for Tony Gilroy’s Michael Clayton and in 2020 was the recipient of a BFI Fellowship and a Leon d’Oro at the Venice Film Festival for her lifetime’s work. New York Times film critic Manohla Dargis said of Swinton, “The woman of a thousand otherworldly faces, Tilda Swinton has created enough personas - with untold wigs, costumes and accents - to have become a roster of one. She’s a star, a character actor, a performance artist, an extraterrestrial, a trickster.“
