With Antonia Quirke

Persepolis director Marjane Satrapi talks about Radioactive, her biopic of Marie Curie, and explains why she also wanted to recognise the work of Marie's husband Pierre.

Caitlin Benedict and Antonia Quirke revisit last year's festival and talk to programme manager Milja Mikkola about the painful decision not to hold the festival in the small town of Sodankyla for the first time in over 30 years.
