Felicity Beckett speaks to legendary Belgian directors Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne about their new film Tori and Lokita, in cinemas now.
This Cannes award-winner by the renowned Dardenne brothers is a moving and typically uncompromising drama about two teenage migrants trying to build a new life.
Tori and Lokita are living in Belgium after surviving a dangerous journey together from West Africa.
Though they have a close relationship, they aren’t related but pretend to be siblings so that Lokita can secure her residence papers.
Desperate to pay the traffickers who smuggled them into Europe and send money to relatives, they supplement their wages from restaurant work by selling drugs. But Tori and Lokita - beautifully played by first-time actors Pablo Schils and Joely Mbundu - are ill-equipped to deal with an uncaring and predatory world, and events soon spin out of their control.

Felicity Beckett talks to director Maria Schrader about her new film She Said, in cinemas now.
This powerful investigative drama - inspired by true events - depicts how two New York Times reporters uncovered the widespread sexual abuse of women by Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
Adapted from the book by journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, She Said charts their months of painstaking research.
They gradually piece together a horrifying trail of systemic misconduct that leads to Weinstein but must overcome a culture of silence and fear, and the non-disclosure agreements that prevent many survivors from speaking out.
Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan capture the dedication and commitment of the duo with conviction - they are determined to support each other, and the women whose experiences they have uncovered.
The notable cast also includes Patricia Clarkson and Samantha Morton.
With a nod to the likes of Spotlight and All the President’s Men, this is a gripping account of a pivotal cultural moment that helped to mobilise the #MeToo movement.

Film critic Elena Lazic talks to director James Gray about his new film, Armageddon Time - in cinemas now.
Queens, 1980. Aspiring artist Paul, the youngest son of the Graff family, is on the cusp of adolescence. Struggling to fit in at school, he finds solace in his close relationship with his beloved grandfather (Anthony Hopkins) and his budding friendship with Johnny, a sensitive, defiant Black boy. As he tries to find his way in the world, America, too, is going through a profound change with Ronald Reagan’s landslide victory and the rise of a new economic era.
Featuring a stellar cast, James Gray’s (The Lost City of Z, Ad Astra) latest is a deeply personal story of the strength of family, the complexity of friendship and the generational pursuit of the American Dream.

Sam Clements speaks to Masters of Make-Up Effects authors, Oscar-winning MUFX legend Howard Berger and veteran journalist Marshall Julius, about their new book - available now from all good book shops!
Howard and Marshall will also join us in person at the Fulham Road Picturehouse, on 16 November. Tickets here.
They’ll be screening From Dusk Till Dawn, and joining the audience for a Q&A and book signing.
The Gecko brothers, outlaws on a wild crime spree, kidnap a father and his kids and head south to a seedy Mexican bar to hide out. But soon they realise they're not in a typical bar: the entire place is teeming with vicious, blood-sucking vampires.
In an on-stage Q&A the pair talk movies and monsters, sharing stories and pictures from behind the scenes of From Dusk Till Dawn, then you'll have the opportunity to buy a copy of Masters of Make-Up Effects – which the authors will be happy to sign.
With a foreword from visionary filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and an afterword by Seth MacFarlane, Masters of Make-up Effects is a revealing celebration of a century of iconic make-up magic: a lively, affectionate and candid oral history of iconic make-up effects, from the artists who create and apply them to the actors who bring them to life
