Film Weekly gets down with SoulBoy and seeks out Secret Cinema

This week, Jason Solomons discovers the heated passion for soul music in the chilly north of England as revealed in SoulBoy, a coming-of-age tale tracing the musical awakening of a young man during the mid 70s. Lead actor Michael Compston, who made his name in Ken Loach's Sweet Sixteen, talks about spending a nervous month perfecting his dance steps. We also have two signed copies of the superb SoulBoy soundtrack to win.

Jason also talks to Fabien Riggall, the founder of Secret Cinema, which hosts screenings of classic films in strangely appropriate locations. Ahead of a mystery screening at Alexandra Palace, Riggall discusses the motivation behind Secret Cinema and the growing popularity of experiencing film outside the multiplex.

Plus, Xan Brooks joins Jason to review some of this week's other releases, including Dinner for Schmucks, starring Steve Carell and Paul Rudd, and Certified Copy, starring Juliette Binoche.
