at the National Film Theatre

Catherine Deneuve is France's most popular film star. However as a youngster she had no ambition to be an actress until she was 'pushed' into small film parts by her theatrical family. Today her classic beauty and cool, enigmatic quality have helped to establish her as an actress of international stature. Yet, as she tells Michael Billington in tonight's Guardian Lecture, she has never appeared on the live stage and is haunted by a fear of doing so.

Korda at
Denham Denham was perhaps the most glamorous film studio ever tp be built in Britain and certainly the most romantic. On the 165 acres of Buckinghamshire countryside, Alexander Korda was determined to take on the Hollywood moguls at their own game and produce British pictures with an international flavour.
And certainly films like Rembrandt and The Four Feathers are every bit as good as anything produced in America at the time. But, as technicians and studio staff recall in this film, Korda over-reached himself at Denham and by 1938 his principal financial backers, the Prudential Life Assurance Company began to ask themselves just how prudent their investment was in Korda's brand of lavish film-making.

11.30 Images: The Third Dimension
An ordinary photographic Image may look 3-dimenslonal but it isn't; a laser-produced hologram is a 3-dimensional image but doesn't look like it. This programme shows how the special characteristics of laser light makes it possible to record all three dimensions on a 2-dimensional holographic plate.
11.55 The Language of Advancement?
The schools in Gwynedd are extending their bilingual policy. The resurgence of Welsh culture has had some effect in bringing this about.
