Moon
Moon is an award-winning new film from Duncan Jones - once known to the world as Zowie Bowie, son of the legendary musician David Bowie. He has now shown the world his own talent with this thoughtful, low-budget sci-fi film. The Strand talks to him about fame, his father, and why he grew a beard to look like his lead actor Sam Rockwell.

Khaled
It's been 5 years since The King of Algerian Rai music Khaled released his last album. His new album released earlier this year is called Libert茅 and is a collection of new songs and re-recorded old songs which replace the synthesised sounds of the originals with a more organic instrumental feel. Familiar themes of heartbreak, a yearning for freedom and love run throughout an album which many critics are calling his finest for some time.
