National Geographic's A Small Light continues tonight with another two episodes.
TV Fanatic scored an exclusive first look at what's ahead, and it looks like things are going from bad to worse for Otto Frank (Liev Schreiber).
In the clip, we see Miep (Bel Powley) speak to Otto about recent events and how things might change very soon.
Otto is worried about the Nsb officer snooping around, but Miep tries to calm him down.

How do we judge what is and isn't real, when it comes to family? Are family those people we happen to be blood-related to, or is it the people collected throughout life that bring us the most joy and support? For people who have been adopted or grown up in foster care, this question is even trickier to answer, and some of the answers harder to come to terms with.
Beginning with a choice quote from Pinocchio – one of the most famous stories about what constitutes a 'real' family - Sebastian Armesto's For Grace, written by and starring Andrew Keatley, endeavors to explore these ideas of family, biological or created from love that has grown from time and affection. It is, in its own unassuming way, one of the most heartfelt films I've seen for a long time.

If you don’t have a strong stomach, then you might want to pass on this short film. If you like the idea of a romantic film that tells the story of a man who takes his skin off for his girlfriend, then this is right up your alley! It’s probably not the best idea for anyone to take his or her skin off, but that's just how the guy in this story rolls. This short is kind of hard to watch because it’s pretty disgusting, but it’s a great and really well-made film. One of the things that makes it stand out is the fact that there were no CGI effects used to make it.
The movie was directed by Ben Aston, and here’s some information that came along with it:
He Took His Skin Off For Me is a practical SFX fairytale. No CGI whatsoever.

This return to star-driven Shakespeare has in Frank Langella a commanding Lear still driven by a craving for love
We are used to director's Shakespeare. This production, which plays 32 performances in Chichester before moving to Brooklyn, is unequivocally actor's Shakespeare. It is staged with great clarity by Angus Jackson as a timeless moral fable. But what impresses is the spellbinding power of that fine American actor, Frank Langella, best known in Britain as the disintegrating president inFrost/Nixon, who plays Lear and wins.
Langella has that mysterious quality known as "weight". It is not merely that he is tall, has a voice that could be heard in Bognor Regis and is more oak than ash: it is that he has an authority that compels our attention. This is palpable from the start when he needs help ascending the steps of Robert Innes Hopkins's set, which looks like a...

On the 3rd and 4th of May the Empire cinema in Leicester Square will play host to the British Independent Film Festival and the Film Festival Guild have today announced the list of nominations for their annual awards.
With a keen understanding of the often London-centric nature of celebrations of UK Independent film both the feature films and the series of shorts are playing in eleven cinemas across the country over the month of May. This is a welcome state of affairs, one which the London Film Festival embraced last year with a similar nationwide programme, and it should enable the films and the filmmakers to reach a far wider audience.
To see which cinemas near you are playing the festival films click here, and below is a taste of the talent and happenings from the festival last year.
The award categories and nominees are listed below, and click here...

Curator at the end of the world Roland Emmerich turns his global catastrophes aside for his latest film which marries the much-argued notion that William Shakespeare was not the author of the works attributed to him with the political intrigue surrounding the succession of the dying Queen Elizabeth; Anonymous is as much about the struggle to control one’s legacy as it is to do with who really wrote Hamlet and Macbeth.
Emmerich delivers a visually rich Tudor London with perhaps his most adept handling of CG thus far and the story of Rhys Ifans’ Earl of Oxford accosting of playwright Ben Jonson to be the public (and socially acceptable) face of his works is quickly engaging as the world discovery of the works of ‘Shakespeare’ is well told. Despite the throwaway and cartoonish portrayal of Jonson’s fellow playwrights (Christopher Marlowe is a pantomime dame for example which is...

Renowned as launch pad for politicians and TV personalities, the school has found new role as source of acting talent
From Wellington to Gladstone, and Macmillan to Cameron, Eton College has long been a seedbed for British politics and for the diplomatic service. More recently a smattering of television personalities, conductors and Olympic sportsmen have also been able to look back at schooldays spent on the celebrated playing fields. Now though, that famously establishment school near Windsor is increasingly being hailed as a first-rate launch pad for a theatrical career.
Leading Old Etonian actors such as Tom Hiddleston, Harry Lloyd, Eddie Redmayne, Henry Faber and Harry Hadden-Paton are suddenly at the top of the list for casting directors on the most prestigious film and television projects.
This week Hiddleston, star of Steven Spielberg's War Horse, is in Wales filming Sir Richard Eyre's Henry IV, along with Faber and Lloyd,...

Anyone who has done a cursory study of William Shakespeare’s writing has already heard that there’s a possibility that Shakespeare himself wasn’t the author (unless their teacher didn’t delve too deeply), and that’s exactly what drama movie Anonymous explores.
In the film, director Roland Emmerich (2012) and writer John Orloff (A Mighty Heart) put forth that it was Edward De Vere, Earl of Oxford, who actually wrote Shakespeare’s plays (De Vere is just one of the men historians believe are behind the famous writings).
Set in Elizabethan England, the movie follows nobleman De Vere (Rhys Ifans, Greenberg), who can’t be seen writing plays for the theater, where political intrigue, illicit romances in the Royal Court and the schemes of greedy nobles hungry for power are exposed. So De Vere hires William Shakespeare (Rafe Spall,...
