Depardieu and Deneuve, Jeff Bridges and Lisa Eichhorn - Francine Stock investigates Potiche and Cutter's Way and talks to cameraman Seamus McGarvey about cinema as poetic gauze.
The Film Programme this week is all about seeing double - from acting partnerships to technological innovation. Francine Stock will be investigating Francois Ozon's new film, Potiche, which stars Catherine Deneuve and Gerard Depardieu - you could say the Bogart and Bacall of contemporary French cinema - and there's also a revaluation of one of the lost gems of the Eighties, Ivan Passer's Cutter's Way which features Jeff Bridges and Lisa Eichhorn. For those fascinated by the mechanics of cinema the acclaimed cameraman, Seamus McGarvey, is joined by the BFI's Bryony Dixon to consider how doubling the frame rate at which films are shot -as Peter Jackson intends to do with The Hobbit - might affect the clarity and poetry of the images we see on our screens. And Steve James, the director of Hoop Dreams, talks about his latest film - The Interrupters, a vivid account of a courageous project aimed at tackling street violence in Chicago.
Producer: Zahid Warley.
