Director Bertrand Tavernier takes Francine Stock on a journey through French cinema, as his new documentary on the Nouvelle Vague and beyond is released.

With Francine Stock.

Director Bertrand Tavernier takes Francine Stock on a journey through French cinema, and explains why it's good to meet your heroes, even if you don't like working with them.

Elliot Grove saw his first movie at the age of sixteen, banned from going to the cinema by his Amish parents, and he was hooked from that moment. He now runs one of the biggest film festivals in Europe, Raindance, which celebrate is 25th anniversary this week. And it's all thanks to Lassie Come Home.

Lady Macbeth is one of the success stories of British cinema this year, and the search is on to find the next big thing to come from the I-Features scheme, which is run like a competition. Francine talks to two of the successful candidates from the latest round, Eva Riley and Alex Usborne, and asks them how they are going to spend their £350,000 budget.

Have you ever met somebody who has the exactly same recurring dream as you ? That's the premise of On Body And Soul, an award-winning romantic drama set in an abattoir. Its director Ildiko Enyedi discusses dream dates with Francine.
