George Miller, Miranda July, Orchestral Qawwali Project

Live music from the founders of the Orchestral Qawaali project, Mad Max director George Miller and the visual artist, film-maker and novelist Miranda July on her latest novel.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is the latest film from the writer director George Miller, 45 years after the first Mad Max film with Mel Gibson aired. He joins us to talk about where the vision for the film came from and how it's evolved, and about working with stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth.

The visual artist, filmmaker, and novelist, Miranda July, discusses her second novel 鈥淎ll Fours鈥 where a middle-aged woman鈥檚 detour from a planned road trip across America becomes a wry and provocative odyssey of self-exploration.

Orchestral Qawaali Project is the brainchild of composer Rushil Ranjan and multi-instrumentalist and singer Abi Sampa. Fusing devotional south Asian qawwali singing with the western classical tradition, it has grown from a lockdown project that went viral to a performance at the Royal Albert Hall later this month involving 135 performers on stage. We hear a taster of their work live in the studio.
