Sight & Sound annual poll for best film in their respective years,[1][2] receiving nominations at the British Independent Film Awards, the Independent Spirit Awards and at the Berlin International Film Festival
.

Career

Early TV work

After leaving school in the late 1970s, Hogg worked as a photographer and began to make experimental super-8 films after borrowing a camera from

Channel Four series Network 7, Flesh + Blood. In the 1990s, Hogg directed episodes of London Bridge, Casualty and London's Burning. She also directed the EastEnders
special EastEnders: Dot's Story (2003).

Film

Hogg has said, "I wanted to make a film doing everything I was told not to do in television".

FIPRESCI International Critics Award.[5] It also won the Guardian First Film Award in 2008 and the Evening Standard British Film Awards 'Most Promising Newcomer' Award in 2009, as well as being nominated for their Best Film Award and earning Hogg a nomination for the London Film Critics' Circle
'Breakthrough Filmmaker' Award in 2009.

Her second film,

Locarno Film Festival in 2013. Peter Bradshaw writing in The Guardian hailed it as 'a masterful cinematic enigma' awarding it the full five stars.[7]

In the A24 podcast episode "A Bigger Canvas", Martin Scorsese has a conversation with Hogg where it is revealed that he saw her film Archipelago and reached out to her wanting to collaborate with her.[8] He served as an executive producer for her next film, The Souvenir (2019). The film premiered in the Sundance Film Festival.[9] It was released in the United States on 17 May 2019 by A24 and in the United Kingdom on 30 August 2019 by Curzon Artificial Eye.[10] The title refers to the painting of the same name by Jean-Honoré Fragonard and Hogg's personal life, with the performance of Honor Swinton Byrne, Tom Burke and Tilda Swinton.[11] The film was nominated in several film awards ceremonies and festivals, including the Berlin International Film Festival, the British Independent Film Awards and the Independent Spirit Awards.

The sequel, The Souvenir Part II, had its premier at Cannes Film Festival in July 2021,[12] receiving critical acclaim, with nominations at the British Independent Film Awards, the Gotham Awards and at the London Film Critics' Circle.[13][14]

Hogg's newest film, The Eternal Daughter, is a mystery-drama film starring Tilda Swinton. The film was premiered at the 2022 Venice Film Festival.[15]

Gallery curation

In October 2015 Hogg co-curated the retrospective exhibition of film maker Chantal Akerman's installation work, "Chantal Akerman NOW", at the Ambika P3 Gallery. This was the culmination of a two-year-long retrospective of Akerman's work she had programmed with Adam Roberts, with whom she founded the cinema collective A Nos Amours in 2011. The collective is "dedicated to programming over-looked, under-exposed or especially potent cinema".[16] In an interview, Hogg said that 'A new generation is growing up who actually don't know the work of directors like Tarkovsky', as a major motivation behind establishing the collective.[17]

Influences and style

Hogg's style is influenced by European and Asian directors such as

Eric Rohmer and Yasujirō Ozu, using extended takes and minimal camera movement.[18] She takes the unusual approach of casting a mixture of actors and non-professional actors in her films, such as the landscape painter Christopher Baker in Archipelago. Her depiction of unarguably middle-class characters has prompted some commentators to see her work as spearheading a new type of social realism in British film.[19][20]
