Festen director Thomas Vinterberg discusses the personal tragedy behind his latest film, Another Round.

Friendship's Death is a 1987 movie about a journalist and an alien who meet in a hotel room in Jordan and discuss art, ethics and artificial intelligence. Its producer Rebecca O'Brien reveals how she got the film made for £180,000 and whether or not that kind of avant-garde work would get financed today.
