Janice Forsyth with the unmissable weekly film programme.
Former CGI animator Gareth Edwards talks to the Movie Cafe about his acclaimed debut feature, Monsters, in which six years after the crash of a NASA probe, a photojournalist escorts a shaken tourist through the infected zone to safety . As you might expect, the visual effects are hugely impressive, as is Edwards' employment of a tiny budget.
Ahead of a special event at the GFT in Glasgow, film historian Luke McKernan talks to Janice about author James Joyce's time as the manager of Dublin's Volta Cinema.
Critic Miles Fielder looks ahead to the re-release of Michael Powell's Peeping Tom, in which a sexually repressed loner murders women and films their dying moments. The subject matter of the film seriously damaged Powell's career, but is thought by some to be the first British intellectual horror classic.
Plus an interview with Etienne Comar, the writer of Of Gods and Men, a French drama about an order of Cistercian monks who stand up for their beliefs when confronted by fundamentalists.
