Francine Stock talks to Woody Harrelson about this new film, Rampart.

Francine Stock talks to Woody Harrelson, who plays a violent racist cop in his new film Rampart. It's been hailed by many as one of the performances of the year. So why no Oscar nod? He explains all.

Also out this week is Black Gold, a vast sweeping epic which tells the story of the discovery of oil in the Arab states at the turn of the 20th century. Staring Mark Strong and Antonio Banderas, the film is conspicuous in featuring no Arab actors in the lead roles. One of the producers behind the film Ali Jaafar, discusses the challenges of making a movie set in the Arab world.

Director Stephen Frears explains why Otto Preminger's Laura, starring Gene Tierney, is one of his favourites from the film noir genre.

And ahead of the Academy Awards this weekend Francine speaks to producer Sue Goffe and director Grant Orchard about their Oscar-nominated short, A Morning Stroll.

Producer: Craig Smith.
