Jim Sheridan, one of the most important filmmakers in the history of Irish cinema, ventured into rarely explored territories with My Left Foot (1981). A filmmaker with six Academy Award nominations to his credit, he shares in this exclusive interview with Mo Abdi his current feelings about My Left Foot and his experience working with Daniel Day-Lewis. He also talks about his childhood, the beginnings of his career in cinema, and philosophy of film as a belief system- much like religion, where we either believe in it or we don’t.
