The versatile New Zealand actress Kerry Fox (1966) will appear as a guest in the Binger – Screen International Interview on Saturday, September 27, at the 28th Netherlands Film Festival in Utrecht.

Michael Gubbins, editor of film magazine Screen International, will speak with Fox about her award-winning work, her international career, and her passion for acting.

Fox began her career in the early 1990s with a role that immediately became her major breakthrough: that of New Zealand writer Janet Frame in *An Angel at My Table* (1990), directed by Jane Campion. Her portrayal of the writer garnered much admiration and opened many doors. Immediately afterwards, she delivered impressive character performances in *The Last Days of Chez Nous* (1992) by Gilliam Armstrong and, alongside Ewan McGregor and Christopher Eccleston, in *Shallow Grave* (1994) by Danny Boyle.

Her international career takes off with acclaimed arthouse films such as Welcome to Sarajevo (1997, Michael Winterbottom), The Hanging Garden (1997, Thom Fitzgerald), and Fanny and Elvis (1999, Kay Mellor).

In 2001, she took on the lead role in the French feature film INTIMACY (Patrice Chéreau). The film is controversial due to the explicit and prolonged sex scenes; nevertheless, it won the Golden Bear for Best Film at the Berlin Film Festival and the Silver Bear for Best Actress from Fox.

As a proven director's actor, Fox often chooses special projects from around the world that make her life as varied as the films she stars in. In the near future, Fox can be seen in Storm (2009) by German director Hans-Christian Schmid and Bright Star (2009), the long-awaited new feature film by the director who made her famous: Jane Campion.

The interview is a collaboration between Binger Filmlab, Screen International, and Holland Film Meeting (the co-production market of the Netherlands Film Festival) and will take place on Saturday, September 27 at 2:30 PM at Grand Hotel Karel V, Geertebolwerk 1 in Utrecht.
