Twiggy on Ken Russell, and Kötting's Hallucinated Worlds: What Shapes an Icon?

The legendary icon herself, Dame Twiggy Lawson, joins Mark Kermode to talk about TWIGGY, Sadie Frost’s documentary about her life as a model, singer, actress and fashion icon. They also talk about working with Ken Russell on THE BOY FRIEND and THE DEVILS – and meeting her idol Fred Astaire.

Mark is also joined by film director and visual artist Andrew Kötting to talk about his exhibition EVERYWORLD, created together with his daughter Eden. Kötting described the exhibition as a hallucinatory experience, drawing on the ghosts from his previous film projects. The exhibition is on now at Undershed gallery on the ground floor of the Watershed in Bristol, and will be at Swedenborg House in London from late April till the middle of June 2026.

The Mark Kermode Live in 3D shows happen live every month at the BFI. Head over to the BFI website if you’d like to join us at the BFI Southbank.
