Adam Wong joins us for a Q&A about his film The Way We Talk, A soul-searching story about three friends, Wolf, Alan and Sophie, who have different conditions of deafness. When Sophie graduates from the university and starts a new job, she realises she has been struggling to be seen as normal.

Posy Sterling joins us for a Q&A about the process of character development and working on the set of Lollipop, hosted by Joe Miller. Sterling gives an intense and very believable lead performance as a woman in the most desperate of circumstances. May-Hudson is careful to keep her sights fixed on the Kafkaesque care system itself, rather than the people working in it.
