Hope Hopkinson talks to Neil Alock, film critic and author of Hitchology, and Rose Butler, Picturehouse Film Programmer, about the new blockbuster ReDiscover season: Hitchcock, coming to your local Picturehouse this autumn.
Whether you're new to Alfred Hitchcock, or a big enough fan to know your Sabotage from your Saboteur, a season of his movies on the big screen is an unmissable event for film fans.
There's nothing like the action of North By Northwest unfolding on a grand canvas, or the Psycho score screeching out at high volume, to demonstrate Hitchcock's uncanny ability to manipulate sound and images to create unforgettable cinematic experiences.
Picturehouse's Hitchcock season boasts seven stone-cold classics from the director's American period at all our cinemas, plus three of his best British bangers at selected sites…

Hope Hopkinson talks to director Darren Aronofsky about his new film, Caught Stealing.
Hank Thompson (Austin Butler) was a high-school baseball phenom who can’t play anymore, but everything else is going okay. He’s got a great girl (Zoë Kravitz), tends bar at a New York dive, and his favorite team is making an underdog run at the pennant.
When his punk-rock neighbor Russ (Matt Smith) asks him to take care of his cat for a few days, Hank suddenly finds himself caught in the middle of a motley crew of threatening gangsters. They all want a piece of him; the problem is he has no idea why. As Hank attempts to evade their ever-tightening grip, he’s got to use all his hustle to stay alive long enough to find out…
Caught Stealing is directed by Academy Award® nominee Darren Aronofsky, screenplay by Charlie Huston, based on his book of the same name. The film stars Austin Butler, Regina King, Zoë Kravitz, Matt Smith, Liev Schreiber, Vincent D’Onofrio, Griffin Dunne, Benito A Martínez Ocasio, and Carol Kane.

Hope Hopkinson talks to writer, director and star of Sorry, Baby Eva Victor about making their feature directorial debut.
Something bad happened to Agnes. But life goes on… for everyone around her, at least.
Blending heartache, humour and healing, SORRY, BABY is the stunning and star-making debut from director, writer and actor Eva Victor, also starring Naomi Ackie and Lucas Hedges.
As sharp as it is tender, SORRY, BABY is a quietly powerful tale of seizing back your footing after pain, and of the friendships that sustain you along the way. An authentic, bitingly funny drama that marks the arrival of a brilliant new voice in cinema.
