Belfast-born actor Ciar\xe1n Hinds tells Tom Sutcliffe about playing Kenneth Branagh\u2019s grandfather in the director\u2019s semi-autobiographical film Belfast, set in the early years of The Troubles in Northern Ireland.

Historian Hallie Rubenhold and critic Hannah McGill discuss Guillermo Del Toro\u2019s Nightmare Alley and Julian Fellowes\u2019s US answer to Downton Abbey, The Gilded Age.

The latest exhibition at Serpentine North in London stretches beyond the gallery\u2019s confines. There are three ways to view it: at the gallery, in augmented reality on the Acute Art app, and on the gaming platform Fortnite, potentially opening it up to hundreds of millions of people. How radical an idea is this, what does it mean for the future of viewing art and how well does it work? Creator and producer of digital exhibitions Marie Foulston takes a look.
