The spirit of Ray Harryhausen is invoked in a new stop-motion animation Kubo And The Two Strings, which boasts the largest stop-motion puppet in animation history, standing 16 feet tall. The director Travis Knight explains why the film took five years to make.

Scottish director David Mackenzie reveals how he came to make an all-American crime thriller set deep in the heart of Texas, Hell Or High Water. Larushka Ivan-Zadeh and Tim Robey follow the trail of the film's antecedents.

Screenwriter Paul Mayersberg explains why the film studio pulled out of The Man Who Fell To Earth when they discovered David Bowie wasn't going to sing on the soundtrack.
