Francine Stock talks to the screenwriter Moira Buffini about her version of Jane Eyre and hears about the Greek film inspired by Sir David Attenborough.

Pack your bags..Francine Stock is wearing her travelling shoes. First stop is the North of England to meet Moira Buffini's new Jane Eyre. Then its off to the Continent with Martin Scorsese for a guided tour of the commanding heights of Italian cinema - among them Rossellini, Visconti, Fellini and Antonioni. On the way back we'll be stopping off in the Greece of Athina Rachel Tsangari's Attenberg -- a brilliant, playful feature about sex, grief and the passing of the old order inspired by the wild life documentaries of Sir David Attenborough. To finish we're back in Blighty with artist Gillian Wearing's powerful and disturbing film, Self Made - an exploration of identity as well as a kind of exorcism.That's all in this week's Film Programme with Francine Stock.

Producer: Zahid Warley.
