Getty Images Booker Prize-winning author Arundhati Roy discussed the unauthorized use of Beatles songs in “In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones,” the growing presence of artificial intelligence in cinema, and the handmade aesthetic of independent filmmaking during a Q&A at BFI Southbank on July 15, following the U.K. premiere of the film’s 4K restoration.
On the film’s soundtrack, Roy said she and director Pradip Krishen never received a response from the Beatles after asking to use their music. “We wrote to them and said, ‘Can we use your music? We love you.’ They didn’t reply,” Roy said.
