This Is England '86 - a new four part TV series by the director Shane Meadows, which revisits the lives of characters from his film This Is England, three years on.

Certified Copy - a new film from Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami, centring around a mysterious couple (played by Juliette Binoche and William Shimmell) who might - or might not - be married.

And: Resonance and Renewal: Shipbuilding on the Clyde - an exhibition of the eight vast canvases created by artist Stanley Spencer to depict the wartime life of the Lithgow Shipyard in Glasgow, whose workings he was commissioned to document during World War Two.
