Take 5 with SIFF: Reece Lipman

Filmmaker | London, England


Reece Lipman

Describe yourself as a film genre:

A Coming of Age Drama

What is your favorite movie of all time and why?:

The Breakfast Club - It is a movie I can watch endlessly with one of the best written group of characters ever. It's always parodied with the famous dancing scene, but people often forget about the long group chat the teenagers have, the moments of real connection and humour, where every problem feels real and experienced. It's a masterpiece and undoubtedly a pop culture tentpole.

Who would play you in a movie?:

Joseph Gordon-Levitt

What's your go to movie snack?:

A small bag of gummy sweets. No loud rustling in the cinema!

What Film Title best describes your life?

Cinema Paradiso - When everything else is going wrong, or when I have something to celebrate, I only have 1 happy place. Sit in a cinema.
