With Francine Stock
Toby Jones reflects on his new role, a king who becomes obsessed by a flea, in the historical drama Tale Of Tales.
When David Bowie announced the retirement of Ziggy Stardust to a stunned audience in 1973, D.A. Pennebaker was there to catch that historic moment on his camera. As he was when Jimi Hendrix set alight to his guitar at the Monterey festival and Germaine Greer verbally jousted with Norman Mailer at a town hall debate. Pennebaker and his partner Chris Hegedus discuss their five decades of film and history making.
Francine talks to the winner of the first awards for Virtual Reality at this year's Sheffield Documentary Festival.
Dominique Nasta reveals why film-going was compulsory in communist Romania and a few other things you might not have known about cinema in the Eastern Bloc.
