One of the contemporary kings of non-linear narratives, Arriaga’s passion for the human condition runs through all his films, including Amores Perros, Babel and The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada. In this lecture held at BFI Southbank on 26 September 2011, he discusses the techniques of writing for the big screen.
