Blitz' director Steve McQueen on the choices he made to create his homage to wartime London with Saoirse Ronan and newcomer Elliott Heffernan.

McQueen, whose father died of prostate cancer in 2006, discovered that he developed a small tumor during one of his routine checkups in 2022, while his new war drama Blitz — about a mother's search for her young son in World War II London — was in pre-production.

The director illuminates his new World War II epic, focused on a boy’s fight to get back home amid the rubble of war-torn London.

Steve McQueen is no longer attending the opening night screening of his new film “Blitz” at Camerimage Film Festival over comments the festival director made about women cinematographers. He was also set to receive the outstanding director award at the event.

British filmmaker Steve McQueen will no longer attend a screening of his latest feature Blitz at Poland’s Camerimage Film Festival following the fallout of a controversial op-ed written by the festival’s founder and head Marek Żydowicz.

The Oscar-winning filmmaker joins Q’s Tom Power to talk about his new film, and why the story is still relevant in 2024.

The CEO and founder of the Camerimage Film Festival, Marek Żydowicz, has been called out for penning an op-ed in which he questioned if the recognition and inclusion of women's work in cinematography could dilute the quality of what has historically been submitted.
