Damien Chazelle on La La Land; Bright Lights documentary starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds; David Bowie: The Last Five Years; Costa Biography Award winner Keggie Carew.

Writer and director Damien Chazelle on the Hollywood musical La La Land, hotly tipped as the frontrunner for Best Picture at this year's Academy Awards, and only his second feature film.

Since the death of Carrie Fisher and - just a day later - her mother Debbie Reynolds, a documentary charting their complex relationship called Bright Lights has inadvertently become a touching memorial to the two actresses. Tim Robey reviews.

A new 大象传媒 film examining the last five years of David Bowie's life is to be screened on 大象传媒2 on Saturday, marking the first anniversary of the singer's death and featuring unseen footage. John talks to director Francis Whately.

The winner of the 2016 Costa Biography Award is Dadland by Keggie Carew, which charts her father's activities as an SOE operative behind enemy lines at the D-Day landings and his descent into dementia later in life.
