Girl Walk // All Day is feature-length dance music video and a tale of urban exploration that follows three dancers across New York City as they turn the city's sidewalks, parks and architecture into an evolving stage.

Dancers leap, spin and jump to mixes from DJ Girl Talk's incredible album All Day, featuring samples from Rihanna, Daft Punk, and Beastie Boys among countless others. Girl Walk // All Day was named the 'Most Innovative Music Video of 2011' and was an official selection of the 2012 SXSW Film Festival.

Director of new London based action thriller Welcome to the Punch Eran Creevy, tells us all about getting the film made, getting Ridley Scott on board and the new generation of British filmmakers.

Could Eran Creevy be Britain's answer to Michael Mann? There's plenty of evidence to support the theory in his second feature Welcome to the Punch, a sleek, steely thriller in the tradition of Heat. A bank heist goes wrong. A young man is found with a gunshot wound. He just happens to be the son of notorious criminal Jacob Sternwood (Mark Strong) and if anything is going to flush him out of hiding and back to Britain it is a critically ill son. Detective Max Lewinsky (James McAvoy) is determined to put Sternwood behind bars and grows increasingly obsessive and reckless in his pursuit of justice. A cracking, guns blazing cat-and-mouse thriller with an amazing cast of top British talent.

Glasgow Film Festival talks to stars of Aftershock Eli Roth, Lorenza Izzo and Director Nicolás López about the making of the film, some of it's ideas and Chilean health and safety laws.

Producer, co-writer, star and genre guru Eli Roth becomes the new Master of Disaster. Three tourists and their three Chilean guides head to Valparaiso for the last days of their South American holiday. But as they dance the night away in a crowded nightclub, a massive earthquake hits the area causing widespread death, destruction and urban anarchy. Who will survive in this dark, intense and unpredictable mix of disaster flick and horror thriller? This film grips with the excitement of a classic Irwin Allen 1970s epic and delivers the bloodiest of shocks as buildings collapse along with society.

Game of Thrones comes to the Glasgow Film Festival. After a screening of the penultimate episode of season 2 "Blackwater", Rory McCann sat down with the audience to answer their questions, leaving one of them with a very special item.

In these videos, Rory talks about his experiences working on the show, being recognised as the Hound, causing woes for the props department and very vague hints about what to expect in season 3.

He also talks a little about his own career and experiences, as far back as being an extra on Willow.

WARNING: This does take place after a season 2 screening. So if you haven't finished the second season, be wary of spoilers.

On the closing gala of the 2013 Glasgow Film Festival before the screening of his new adaptation of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, sits down with the Glasgow Film Festival to talk about the technological advances in small budget film making and it's importance in the current age of movies.

Director Scott Graham and star of Shell Chloe Pirrie give us an insight into the process of preparing to shoot Shell and the significance of using the landscape of the Highlands in a story of isolation.

The debut feature of Scots director Scott Graham delivers on all the promise of his short films. Set in a striking vision of the wild Scottish Highlands, it features a star-making performance from newcomer Chloe Pirrie as Shell, a teenager living in a remote service station with her father Pete (Joseph Mawle), a dour, damaged shadow of a man. Shell is as alive as the howling wind and as glowing as the pale moonlight. The film is all the more poignant for the way it contrasts her curious, luminous presence with the starkness of the surroundings and her growing sense of a waiting world outside her experience.

Director Neil Jordan, producer Stephen Woolley, Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan talk about their new film Byzantium. Stephen talks about where the script originally came from, while Gemma and Saoirse talk about the dynamic of playing the mother/daughter relationship. Neil Jordan talks about returning to the vampire genre and his experiences watching Twilight.

Byzantium is a haunting, visually sublime and unique take on ancient undead mythology. Clara (Gemma Arterton) is a 200-year-old vampire who works in sleazy strip clubs and prostitutes herself to support her vampire daughter, Eleanor (Saoirse Ronan). But this deadly duo are no ordinary vampires; Clara drains the scum of the earth and Eleanor acts as an angel of death preying on the suffering elderly. When the two daughters of darkness open up a bordello in a seedy seaside guesthouse, shocking secrets going back through tortured centuries must be suppressed.

Mike Peters, lead singer of The Alarm tells us all about the Sara Sugarman directed Vinyl, the story of Mike's real life hoax in 2004 that fooled the music industry.

Mike talks to us about his story, working with old friend Sara Sugarman and ageism in modern media.

The punk spirit lives on in Vinyl, a breezy lark of a comedy from writer/director Sara Sugarman. Based on the true story of Mike Peters' rock and roll hoax in 2004 it stars Phil Daniels as Johnny Jones, a member of the once revered Weapons of Happiness, now living in the miserable afterglow of his fame. A reunion with his former band members leads to a new pop punk single that has the potential to put them back on top.
 However, as they find themselves working within an increasingly superficial music industry, it's not long before the band discover that nobody wants to sign some decrepit old punks. Johnny decides to fake it, manufacturing a hot young Welsh band as the Trojan horse in his cunning comeback plans.
