It's Film Day with a review of Moonlight, plus hear from director Barry Jenkins.

Edi Stark sits in for Janice Forsyth with a review of Moonlight, an exploration of African-American masculinity, plus she hears from its director, Barry Jenkins.

It's Film Day, we'll review the much anticipated Moonlight - a remarkable exploration of African-American masculinity and hear from the director himself, Barry Jenkins. 

Regular Critics, Wendy Lloyd & Nigel Floyd will share their thoughts on it, and on this week's big cinema releases: including The Founder - starring Michael Keaton: it's a fascinating account of how one man turned McDonald's into a phenomenon!

They will also review Hidden Figures - which tells the true story of a group of African-American women who worked with NASA to help launch the program's first successful space missions. 

Later in the show, we will review Handsome Devil - The Glasgow Film Festival's Opening Gala film - and we'll have a guide to the 'Best of the Fest'.

And Shakespeare's THE WINTER'S TALE at the Edinburgh Lyceum- John Michie and Maureen Beattie discuss appearing in one of the Bard's last and most celebrated works, which has been given a Scottish twist - with certain scenes and characters translated in to Scots by renowned author and poet, James Robertson. 

All that and much more, from two o'clock on Thursday, here on BBC Radio Scotland
