New Ryan Gosling film The Place Beyond The Pines; plus the films we've really watched so far in 2013

The Film Programme

Available for over a year

The director Derek Cianfrance, best known for Blue Valentine, talks to Francine Stock about his new film The Place Beyond the Pines, starring Ryan Gosling, and why becoming a father himself made this a very personal project. The critic Karen Krizanovich explores male melodrama on the big screen and we hear from producer Lisa Bryer on why BAFTA is bringing short films to the cinema. Are audiences ready for an evening of back to back shorts? The documentary maker Dror Moreh explains how he managed to get former Israeli secret service chiefs to talk on film about their misgivings about security policy over the last few decades in his new project, The Gatekeepers. And there's analysis from Charles Gant and independent cinema owner Kevin Markwick on the big hits and misses of the year so far and what we've got to look forward to in the coming months. Producer: Elaine Lester.
