In conversation with BBC Movie Café Presenter Janice Forsyth and presented in partnership with The University of Aberdeen’s Director’s Cut series. Kevin Macdonald is a Scottish two-time BAFTA winning director, most famous for his films Touching the Void (2003), The Last King of Scotland (2006) and State of Play (2009). Glaswegian Macdonald is the grandson of the Hungarian-born filmmaker, Emeric Pressburger, and his brother is film producer Andrew Macdonald.
