On Monday, October 3rd, Kelly Reichardt, Kristen Stewart, Laura Dern and Lily Gladstone spoke at a press conference for their new film “Certain Women” before its premiere at the 54th New York Film Festival.
The women sat down for a 35-minute discussion where they answered questions about the film, talked about their experience on set and how they choose their next projects, among other topics. Film Society of Lincoln Center released the full video of the conference, which you can check out below.
“The thing that I admire so much about Kelly’s work, and why I was so thrilled to be invited to this journey, is that she’s interested in the life that happens in the pauses,” expressed Dern. “And as an actor, you get to come into that space, and it is that space where no one’s watching, that you reveal the most of yourself.”
