"The mansion is sort of a rocking carcass and they live in there" - Guillermo del Toro.

The award winning Mexican film director Guillermo del Toro on changing the rules of Gothic romance.  Richard Mosse talks about The Enclave, his film looking at the war in the Democratic Republic Of Congo and explains why he used colour infrared film.   We learn about Ballet 40/90 starring dancers up to the age of ninety which is playing to packed houses in Buenos Aires and as Olympics fever beckons we hear how Brazilian novelists are striking out for a global readership.

Musician Marcus Miller describes the inspiration for his new album Afrodeezia and his shock on visiting Senegal’s House of Slaves.  Performance artist Laurie Anderson tells us about her new film Heart of a Dog and how her dog played the piano.  Shah Rukh Khan calls for female equality in Bollywood and we find out what happened when the beat poet Allen Ginsberg visited India.
