In the projection booth with me for this episode is Steve from The Bristol Cult Film Society and he brought along Times Square (1980).

This film was new to me and I loved it.

Theme by The Croutons and we play out with a little of the Manic Street Preachers cover of 'Damn Dog Now' from the soundtrack.

In this episode I am joined by Silvana Maimone to discuss Pan's Labyrinth (2006).

We discuss the power and importance of creativity, especially in difficult times, imagination as resistance, the joys of films that aren't American and lots more including Guillermo Del Toro's fabulous 'Pan's Labyrinth'.

Thank you to Silvana for her time and insight.
