Weekend and 45 Years director Andrew Haigh leads in Lean On Pete, his Pacific Northwest-set drama about a wandering teen and an ageing racehorse; Writer-director Michael Pearce introduces his sprightly, nasty debut Beast and film-maker John Bradburn displays an infectious enthusiasm for Pandemic, his interactive film about pig-human hybrids. Plus, we talk to New York film journalist Nick Pinkerton about The Other Side of the 80s, his extended feature about alternative 80s film-making, which makes Sight and Sound's front cover next issue. Nick is technically an animal, which we mention only to stretch our conceit to its breaking point. </p><p><br></p><p>*Play Pandemic here! https://blog.sciencemuseum.org.uk/pandemic-behind-the-scenes/* </p><p><br></p><p>The BFI podcast - four stories from across the British film industry - is written, presented and produced by Henry Barnes: twitter.com/henryhbarnes?lang=en. </p><p><br></p><p>This episode contains clips from the following: </p><p><br></p><p>- Lean On Pete, directed by Andrew Haigh and released in 2018 by Curzon Artificial Eye. </p><p>- Pandemic, directed by John Bradburn and released in 2018 by The Science Museum. </p><p>- Cutter's Way, directed by Ivan Passer and released in 1981 by United Artists. </p><p>- The Breakfast Club, directed by John Hughes and released in 1985 by Universal Pictures. </p><p>- E.T.
