Gemma Arterton has discussed her role in Byzantium.

The British actress stars in Neil Jordan's vampire thriller as prostitute-turned-vampire Clara, whose surrogate mother-daughter relationship with Saoirse Ronan's Eleanor forms the film's emotional core.

Speaking to Digital Spy, Arterton discusses why Byzantium is a "feminine" film rather than a feminist one, and also speaks about the difficulties of finding financing for female-led movies.

She also touches on her work in upcoming psychological thriller The Voices, which stars Ryan Reynolds as a mentally unstable factory worker.

Sam Riley, Johnny Lee Miller, Danny Mays and Tom Hollander are among the supporting cast of the film, which was written by Moira Buffini.

Byzantium is out in UK cinemas now.
