Hope Hopkinson talks to actors Renate Reinsve and Sebastian Stan about their work on the Palme d'Or winning Fjord.

A Norwegian woman (Renate Reinsve) and her devout Romanian husband (Sebastian Stan) relocate with their five children to a remote coastal town. As their teenagers grow closer to a neighbouring family, tensions begin to escalate when their tight-knit new community starts to question their rigid beliefs.

Soon, the parents are forced to counter accusations that could tear their household apart – and battle a system that blurs the line between concern and prejudice. Captivatingly led by Academy Award-nominees Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve, Cristian Mungiu's Palme d'Or winner FJORD delivers a gripping study of a family under scrutiny.

Lucy Fenwick Elliott talks to director Boots Riley about his new film I Love Boosters. 

Corvette (Keke Palmer), Mariah (Taylour Paige), and Sade (Naomi Ackie) are The Velvet Gang, 'boosters' who shoplift from trendy fashion chain Metro Designers and resell their items to make ends meet in the California capitalist dystopia of the Bay Area.  

Their antics are soon acknowledged by the nefarious visionary designer behind the brand, Christie Smith (Demi Moore), who ignites a pitched battle with the endearing outcasts in which the 'integrity' of high fashion, worker conditions in Chinese factories, and global media discourse are all at stake.

Film critic and curator Elena Lazic talks to director Lee Chang-dong and actors Jeon Do-yeon, Sul Kyung-gu, Zo In-sung and Cho Yeo-jeong about their new film, Possible Love. Showing at Picturehouse Cinemas now.

Possible Love follows the intertwined relationship of two married couples facing different paths and hidden desires.  Mi-ok (Jeon Do-yeon) lives quietly with her laid-off husband Ho-seok (Sul Kyung-gu) and their young son Cheol until a funeral brings them into the orbit of Ye-ji (Cho Yeo-jeong), a documentary filmmaker chronicling laid-off workers, and her husband Sang-woo (Zo In-sung) — a couple whose affluent lifestyle stands in sharp contrast to their own.  When Mi-ok agrees to be filmed, she grows close to Ye-ji, and finds herself uneasily drawn to the unreadable Sang-woo.  

As their worlds collide, fractures begin to appear in their daily existence.  Marking his first release in eight years, highly acclaimed director Lee Chang-dong (Burning, Poetry, Secret Sunshine) brings his signature nuance to Possible Love, capturing shifting emotions, conflicts, and contrasting outlooks that shape these relationships.
