	Description:		With Antonia Quirke. Steve James, the director of Hoop Dreams, looks back at his ground-breaking documentary about the lives of two African-American teenagers as they try to realise their dreams of becoming professional basketball players. To celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of Jean Luc Godard's A Bout De Souffle, Antonia rifles through the Film Programme archives to hear from some of the directors who have been influenced by this Nouvelle Vague masterpiece - Bernardo Bertolucci, Agnes Varda, Mike Hodges and Claire Denis. As his cinema is forced to shut down for a second time this year, Kevin Markwick, the owner of The Uckfield Picture House, reflects on his next move to save the family business. Nat Segnit continues his series on Scene Stealers with the tale of Fred Dalton Thompson, a Republican senator and sometime Hollywood actor.
