This Supernatural Story
The acclaimed director challenges his directorial skills with this innovative supernatural story captured wholly from the viewpoint of the spirit. As a family featuring mother Rebekah plus Callina Liang as Chloe occupies their recent residence, the filming device – representing the ghost – follows them around.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the struggle between God and Mammon, it's a knockout win for materialism in this director's wonderfully garish true story about the fallen TV preacher and her criminal husband. Garfield plays the venal Jim, who declares initially, “God does not want us to be poor,”. He and Tammy Faye set about profiting from the people's religious faith. It's a spectacle of bad interior design, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, however Jessica Chastain succeeds to show the real-life figure in a likable light. October 14th, late night, the Film4 channel
