With Francine Stock.
Avengers' director Joss Whedon discusses the challenges of writing a film with not one, not two, but eight super-heroes.
Swedish auteur Roy Andersson on A Pigeon Sat On A Branch Reflecting On Existence and why the Swedes are really glum.
As part of the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s Get Creative campaign, Francine tries her hand at making sound effects with household objects, ably assisted by Foley artist Barnaby Smyth.
In the week that The Falling is released, Kier-La Janisse and Sandra Hebron consider the depiction of mass hysteria in cinema history, from The Devils to Picnic At Hanging Rock.

The Falling
DIY Foley
Walking in snow – throw dishwasher salt and meringue nests on an old shirt and walk up and down while squeezing a small bag of cornflour
Riding a horse – as above, but imitate the movement of a horse, and twist an old wallet and jangle a belt for the sound of reins
