Glasgow Film Industry Team are delighted to present an In Conversation with writer/director Gurinder Chadha. During this session Gurinder will discuss the upcoming release of her latest film Blinded by the Light, her career successes to date, and look at the qualities that make for a successful career in film.

Her first feature, the landmark drama-comedy Bhaji on the Beach received a BAFTA nomination for Best British Film, and received the Evening Standard British Film Award for Best Newcomer to British Cinema. Her third feature Bend It Like Beckham, at the time of its release, was the highest grossing British-financed, British-distributed film ever in the UK box-office.
