Director Jonathan Demme, who was much criticised by American gay activists over his hit film Silence of the Lambs, walks into another controversy with Philadelphia, starring Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington, which is the first major Hollywood movie concerned with Aids. Demme and his collaborators talk about the difficulties of dealing with the issue on celluloid. (One of the few films to do so follows at 11.25pm.) Plus, movie-making on a shoestring in the UK.
