arts24 © FRANCE 24

Eve Jackson brings you a roundup of the week's arts and entertainment news, including pop megastar Taylor Swift's domination of the MTV Video Music Awards. Earlier this week, Swift drew more than 10 million likes on her Instagram page for her post endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris in the November US election. Listen to her rally the fans to register to vote in the US presidential election in November. 

Also on the programme: Elton John, Jude Law and Pamela Anderson are on the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival to present new films, and we visit the picturesque locations around France which inspired the story of "The Count of Monte Cristo", which is packing out cinemas since its release this summer.

We also talk to the Franco-Senegalese filmmaker Mati Diop about her award-winning documentary "Dahomey", which tells the story of African art that was looted by French troops in the 19th century and its journey back home to Benin.

Finally, we meet 85-year-old DJ Vika, who is defying ageist stereotypes by performing all over Europe and Russia and partying hard.
