On Screen previews the BFI 52nd London Film Festival, which starts this week with plenty of American films on politics, an Israeli animated movie, a French school movie, and yes, for the first time in the festival's history, a James Bond film.

Also, we interview Kenyan director Wanuri Kahiu who's recent film From a Whisper marks the tenth anniversary of the bombing by Al Qaeda of the US Embassy in Nairobi.

And, we enter the amazing world of Gwilym Hughes who's in the Guinness Book of Records for "Most Films Seen in the World", a grand total of 28,075 movies…and counting!
