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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ'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
