Shooting on The Finest Hours took place last fall in Massachusetts, and in November 2014 Disney invited me and a few other

visit the

I'll be
visiting several countries from five continents from the comfort of a cosy cinema screen in London — to South Africa for John Trengove's drama
set amongst, and starring members of, the Eastern Cape's Xhosa tribe, The Wound; to Afghanistan for radio
journalist Sonia Kronlund's profile of the country's most popular movie personality, Salim Shaheen, in The Prince of Nothingwood, and to Chile for A Fantastic Woman, Sebastián Lelio's critically - praised movie about a bereaved transgender woman.
