In a galvanising encounter organised by the luxury house Chanel, the actor tells students of film, theatre, art and design they need neither money nor powerful connections to create works of true worth.

Tilda Swinton was on her way from Fiji, where she’d been filming with a six-person crew on a remote island, to the Marrakech International Film Festival to present a movie made with her childhood friend Joanna Hogg, when she made a pitstop in Sydney for an unusual engagement.

Swinton, flanked by RUSSH editor-in-chief Jess Blanch, addressing 200 film, theatre, art and design students, some of whom Chanel had flown to Sydney from Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth. “You don’t need millions and millions of dollars. And you don’t need to go to America. And you don’t need to work with people that you’re not comfortable with,” she said.

Observant readers will not have missed the mention, a few paragraphs up, that Swinton’s testimony – inspiring even for an old hack like your correspondent – was made possible by a $US13.2 billion company that sells handbags for thousands of dollars a piece .Chanel flew in students from Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth for the Q, shot and directed by Australian filmmaker George Miller and starring Swinton and Idris Elba.

The maison is so serious about this mission that in March 2020 it appointed Yana Peel, the former chief executive of London’s Serpentine Galleries, to a newly created position of global head of arts and culture.
