Dame Maggie Smiths Final Interview with Kathleen Turner (FULL EVENT) | FANE

Fane Productions 2024-10-03 | Two unlikely friends. One night of unparalleled conversation. Remember the late Dame Maggie Smith with this special event from 2021, we believe to be her last ever recorded interview.

Kathleen Turner met Maggie Smith in 2000 while they were performing in adjacent theatres in London’s West End – Maggie in The Lady in the Van at the Queens Theatre, and Kathleen in The Graduate at the Gielgud Theatre. A series of pre/post show dinners evolved into a friendship which has endured the intervening 20 years.

From either side of the Atlantic, the two iconic actresses share stories of their unusual childhoods and their remarkable careers on stage and screen. From The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie to The War of the Roses, from Friends to Harry Potter, expect laughter (and perhaps a few tears) along with stories you have never heard before.

With two Oscars, five Golden Globes and three Tonys between them, spend an evening with Kathleen and Maggie as they compare notes and divulge secrets from two extraordinary careers.

Dame Maggie Smith and Kathleen Turner In Conversation with Gyles Brandreth was originally broadcast on Thu 8 Apr 2021, in support of The Royal Theatrical Fund.

Russ Cook (Hardest Geezer) | Mind Over Miles (2024 Trailer) | FANE

Fane Productions 2024-09-27 | 10,000 miles. 16 countries. 352 days. Hardest Geezer Russ Cook became the first person ever to run the entire length of Africa, pushing through the harshest conditions and raising over £1 million for charity along the way.

From battling sandstorms in the Sahara to navigating rainforests and mountain ranges, Russ faced incredible challenges, including attempted kidnappings and an armed robbery. But despite it all, he never gave up. After 50 weeks and the equivalent of 386 marathons, he crossed the finish line in Tunisia with the world watching.

Africa may have been his most physical challenge yet but it certainly wasn’t his first. For years, Russ hid from the realities of life by drinking too much and losing himself in the world of online gambling and it wasn’t until he discovered running and sought out endurance challenges that life took a different turn. He soon learned that you don’t get to avoid the struggle, but you do get to choose it.

Hear his inspirational story full of sheer grit and incredible determination LIVE. As Russ says “You get one chance at life. Go and have a stab at it.”

Mickey who is angry: about having a mother who left, a father who died, about the mess she's made of her life. And with no other place to go, she's forced to need the very person who abandoned her.

And Summer, whose new grandmother is weird, and whose mum is always sad or out looking for men to distract her.

When the year ends, the family of three becomes two.

Lisa Ko | Memory Piece (FULL EVENT) | FANE

Fane Productions 2024-07-29 | What is the value of a meaningful life? Join award-winning author of The Leavers, Lisa Ko for a special virtual event in celebration of the release of her newest book, Memory Piece.

In the early 1980s, Giselle Chin, Jackie Ong, and Ellen Ng are three teenagers drawn together by their shared sense of alienation and desire for something different. They envision each other as artistic collaborators and embark on a future defined by freedom and creativity.

By the time they are adults, their dreams are murkier. As a performance artist, Giselle must navigate an elite social world she never conceived of. As a coder thrilled by the internet's early egalitarian promise, Jackie must contend with its more sinister shift toward monetization and surveillance. And as a community activist, Ellen confronts the increasing gentrification and policing overwhelming her New York City neighbourhood. Over time their friendship matures and changes, their definitions of success become complicated, and their sense of what matters evolves.

Lisa will uncover the process of building a tale that moves from the pre-digital 1980s to the art and tech subcultures of the 1990s, to a strikingly imagined portrait of the 2040s. Delve into the innovative and audacious story of three lifelong friends as they strive to build satisfying lives in a world that turns out to be radically different from the one they were promised.

Fane Productions 2024-07-25 | 🍯 Behind this glass, everything is more beautiful. Join poet, author, and speaker Olivia Gatwood to celebrate the release of her darkly brilliant novel, Whoever You Are, Honey.

On the Santa Cruz waterfront, every house is as perfect as the people inside. Not so for Mitty and Bethel, the oddball pair in the dilapidated bungalow – they are the last vestiges of a town now housing the tech elite. But Mitty is about to cross the threshold. Someone has arrived next door who finally wants to know this forgotten girl.

Lena is different and she knows it. Reliant on her entrepreneur boyfriend Sebastian, her life is oddly limited for someone bathed in wealth. But when she sees Mitty, Lena begins to recognize a part of herself she has yet to face, something anxious, something broken – something real.

And in this salt-blasted town, friendship will bleed into obsession, minds and bodies will betray, and the past will come back with a howl and a bite.

Joined by author Yrsa Daley Ward, Olivia unravels this thrilling and seductive novel. Together, they dissect the relationships between women, unpack perfection and desirability, and explore the intersection of passion, technology, and power.

Serj Tankian (System Of A Down) | Down With the System [FULL EVENT] | FANE

Fane Productions 2024-05-31 | Think you know @serjtankian Think again. Join the @systemofadown frontman and writer in conversation with journalist and filmmaker David Farrier, to celebrate the release of his incredible first memoir, Down With The System.

With nearly 40 million record sales, three albums topping the Billboard charts, a Grammy win, and a legion of fans, System Of A Down is one of the biggest metal bands on the planet. At its core has always been Serj Tankian, whose journey from the streets of Beirut to rock superstardom is as remarkable and unlikely as you'll find.

In this exclusive conversation, Serj will retrace his extraordinary journey, exploring what it has taught him – about music, about art, about activism, and about himself.

From teaming up with Tom Morello to push social justice causes on unsuspecting metalheads to arguing with LAPD officers over the best way to quell his rioting fans, Serj will share an immigrant's tale, an activist’s awakening, and a rock memoir unlike any other.

Down With the System with Serj Tankian was originally broadcast on Tue 14 May 2024.

Chloé Hayden | Different, Not Less (FULL EVENT) | FANE

Fane Productions 2024-04-11 | 🌈 It's time to celebrate, not stigmatise, the beauty of difference. Join award winning actor, disability advocate and star of Netflix’s Heartbreak High, Chloe Hayden to celebrate the publication of her new book Different, Not Less.

Growing up, Chloé Hayden felt like she'd crash-landed on an alien planet where nothing made sense. Eye contact? Small talk? And why are you people so touch-oriented? None of it made sense.

Chloé desperately wished to be part of the fairytales she so dearly loved. A world in which the lead is considered a hero because of their differences, rather than excluded and pushed aside for them.

She moved between 10 schools in 8 years, struggling to become a person she believed society would accept. After years of being ‘weird, quirky, Chloé’ she was eventually diagnosed with autism and ADHD. It was only after a life-changing group of allies showed her that different did not mean less that she learned to celebrate her true voice and find her happily ever after.

Different, Not Less is an empowering guide to celebrating and supporting neurodivergence, it is both moving and funny and inspires us all to create a more inclusive world where everyone feels like they belong. In conversation with Sandro Farmhouse (GBBO) for this Fane Online event, Chloe will provide insight on how Autism and ADHD present differently in women and girls, alongside giving tips for finding supportive relationships, communities and workplaces.

A Night In with Chloé Hayden was originally broadcast on Fri 17 Feb 2023.

Utterly alienated from the people he loves, Obiefuna begins a journey of self-discovery and blossoming desire, while his mother Uzoamaka grapples to hold onto her favourite son, her truest friend.

Blessings is an elegant and exquisitely moving story of love and loneliness. For this special Fane Online event, Okechukwu and Chukwuebuka discuss how we can live freely when politics reaches into our hearts, lives and spreads deep into our consciousness.
