Look out for 'Summer of 85', the movie based on Aidan Chambers's 1982 novel Dance on My Grave by groundbreaking French director Francois Ozon. 'The film is an opportunity to think about yourself, to think about your life, about your love, about your purpose...

But mostly I just want people to enjoy this story as much as I did when I first discovered it.' Francois Ozon, Director in AnOther. Deftly captures the giddy thrill of first love but also hints that a gut-wrenching tragedy is coming.

The result is an incredibly poignant film exploring how love and loss are often horribly intertwined.
