FILMS OUT THIS WEEK

Four girls are connected across time this week in Sound Of Falling, while danger waits in the woods in Dolly - we interviewed director Rod Blackhurst. Friends cross Ireland in search of a rare record in The Spin, while a bereaved woman seeks vengeance through multiple universes in Redux Redux - see what directors Matthew McManus & Kevin McManus had to say about it. Exhibition on Screen looks at the artists Turner & Constable, the involvement of social media in the death of a teenager is explored in Molly Vs The Machines and a man searches for his missing daughter in Sirât - we spoke with composer Kandgding Ray.

In addition to the above, we have a great selection of streaming suggestions in our Stay-at-Home Seven, and there's more to explore in our Eye for books column.
