At the top of the show the CEO of the BFI Ben Roberts leaped onto the stage to congratulate everyone involved on being the longest running and most successful strand at the BFI, ever.

First up Mark welcomes Samantha Morton on stage to talk about her work as an actress, director, writer and musician. Sam talks about her directorial feature The Unloved, as well as her role in She Said, and the changes needed in the film industry.
