In this episode, we talk to Argentine director Matias Piñeiro about his latest film, Hermia & Helena, which is more inspired by than loosely based on A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Hermia & Helena is Piñeiro’s English language debut and the fourth film in his Shakespeare cycle, which started with the short Rosalinda in 2011, based on As You Like It.Piñeiro talked eloquently about his experience reading Shakespeare in translation and translating Shakespeare into Spanish himself. He talked about why he loves the Bard’s comedies, which he likened to 1930s screwball comedies, and how these stories allow him to explore new approaches to cinema.Host and editor: Alex Heeney (@bwestcineaste).
