This week, we chat to young up-and-coming French band Bandit Bandit. Composed of Maëva and Hugo, the duo make rock music filled with swirling guitar riffs, melodies and lyrics in French, delivered occasionally with the kind of nonchalance that would make Serge Gainsbourg proud. They've just released their first album "11:11" and are definitely a French act to watch.

She's been referred to in France as the "choreographer of the stars". Marion Motin toured as a dancer with Madonna before choreographing videos for Dua Lipa, Stromae, and Christine and the Queens. Her latest work, "The Last Call", showing at Paris's historic Palais Garnier, is a personal piece about losing her father. Motin says no matter how heavy the topic, she always strives to leave the audience with joy and energy. She told us about getting inspiration from surfing, collaborating with Stromae and why she prefers hip-hop to ballet.

She's written and directed six feature films, including "Maggie's Plan" and "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee", as well as a documentary about her Nobel Prize-winning playwright father, "Arthur Miller: Writer" in 2017. Artist, author, writer and director Rebecca Miller talks to arts24's Eve Jackson about her new film, the surreal romcom "She Came to Me", starring Peter Dinklage and Anne Hathaway.

After expanding his universe of urban intellectuals from New York to Barcelona, Rome and Paris, Woody Allen goes a step further with "Coup de Chance" – or "Stroke of Luck" – his first movie in French. For FRANCE 24 film critic Lisa Nesselson, it's a French film that's also unmistakably a Woody Allen one - complete with adultery, lavish decor, an attractive, talented cast and at least one missing body. While sexual abuse allegations may have tarnished Allen's image in the United States, the director continues to be welcomed in France.

From busking in the Paris metro to winning the prestigious Mercury prize and becoming the face of French brand Givenchy, British composer and singer-songwriter Benjamin Clementine has had quite a decade. He stopped by the arts24 studio during his European tour to talk to Eve Jackson about his third album ‘And I Have Been’. He tells us about writing an album trilogy about his wife, fatherhood and the loss of his own father as well as acting in the Oscar-winning film "Dune" and Steve McQueen’s upcoming "Blitz".

From desire to grief, from synths to the Armenian flute, Clara Ysé's haunting music is a mix of beautiful contradictions. Music, poetry and literature have always been part of her DNA. She's just dropped her much anticipated debut album "Oceano Nox", so much so that her upcoming shows at Paris’s Café de la Danse are sold out! She dropped by FRANCE 24 to talk to Jennifer Ben Brahim about female friendships, love and writing her first novel.

Dheepthika Laurent talks to Kiran Millwood Hargrave, an award-winning British author, about the French release of her novel "The Dance Tree". It's a story of forbidden love and family secrets set against the backdrop of a true historical phenomenon: a dance plague that took over the French city of Strasbourg in 1518. She also talks to us about the importance of nature and the environment in her new children's fantasy trilogy, "In the Shadow of the Wolf Queen".

Arts24 meets with Togolese musical trio Nana Benz, who are pioneers of digital voodoo: a mix of voodoo incantations and electro. They opened this year's La Villette Jazz Festival and have been touring Europe all summer. The band is driven by a strong feminist identity and is committed to protecting the environment.

In arts24's weekly film show, critic Lisa Nesselson and Eve Jackson are joined by award-winning French documentary maker Yolande Zauberman to talk about her 1987 film "Classified People". It showed the realities of living under apartheid in South Africa through the eyes of a couple considered inter-racial under the country's classification laws. The film has been restored and is being re-released in France. We also have reviews of French writer-director Catherine Breillat's Cannes competition film "Last Summer", about an affair between a teenager and his stepmother, and Cannes Jury Prize winner "Fallen Leaves" from Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki.

TV series critic Dheepthika Laurent tells us about this month's hottest television series, including the last season of "Sex Education", as well as "The Morning Show", "One Piece" and "Class Act", a docu-fiction about a French tycoon that's causing a buzz.
