Film Weekly previews Edinburgh and meets the stars of Kicks

This week on Film Weekly Jason Solomons meets two emerging acting talents in Nichola Burley and Kerrie Hayes, stars of new film Kicks. Burley also features as an aspiring dancer in StreetDance 3D, currently on release, after making her breakthrough on hard-hitting horror Donkey Punch.

Jason attends the launch of the 64th Edinburgh international film festival where he meets festival director Hannah McGill and young British director Gareth Edwards, whose Monsters premieres at the festival.

Xan Brooks joins Jason to review the week's big releases, including Michael Winterbottom's hot potato noir, The Killer Inside Me, starring Casey Affleck, Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson; Videocracy, a documentary on the corrosive influence of television in Berlusconi's Italy; and The Girl On a Train, French director André Téchiné's drama centred on a false claim of an anti-Semitic attack.
