Documentary filmed during the alternative No Mind Festival, which is held annually in a forest at Angsback in Sweden. Filmmakers Robert Cannan and Corrina McFarlane take a playful look at the festival, at which all manner of new and different 'adult' experiences can be undertaken, and those who attend it, focusing on six main characters and how their experiences affect them. These attendees, who include an Australian rugby coach who didn't really intend to be there, a Swedish celebrity, a Finnish grandmother, and a Californian hippy, are followed as they get involved in a number of mind-altering activities such as walking on hot coals, tantric sex and shamanism. Nick, the Aussie rugby coach, is the main character featured and while he arrives with a very cynical attitude to all things hippy, his opinion gradually alters.

Collection of three short films by British artist and filmmaker Jayne Parker. 'Free Show' (1979) is split into three acts and looks at domestic events which have overtones of threat as well as the circus (cutting liver, ironing a fly, plucking eyebrows). 'RX Recipe' (1980) features a large eel in a bath, stuffed with vegetables and bandaged by a woman who then similarly binds her own leg. Finally, 'Cat' (1980) is the first in a series of roughcast but sharply-drawn animations featuring a woman, a cat and a fish.
Gary Tarn's remarkable film Black Sun, winner of many international awards and co-produced by Alfonso Cuarón (Y tu mamá también, Children of Men) and John Battsek (One Day in September), tells the story of Hugues de Montalembert, a French artist and filmmaker living in New York, who was blinded during a violent assault in 1978. With this portrait of an unique man and his extraordinary reaction to a life-changing trauma, Tarn has created an expressionist film whose power lies in visualising a world from the perspective of the blind de Montalembert. Part-survivor's testimony, part-philosophical meditation on the nature of perception, Black Sun is a celebration of life that makes us see the world anew.
Rick Stein is returning to a Marseille restaurant where he claims to have had "one of the best seafood lunches imaginable"; but the celebrated cook is in no hurry. He is travelling by barge through the waterways of Southern France and is intent on sampling the local culinary delights on the way. Rick leaves Cornwall for the mouth of the mighty Girdone river in Bordeaux, where he boards the Anjodi - an eighty-year-old, hundred foot long barge - and meets the captain, Bernard, a man who, fortunately, knows the best bars, wine producers and restaurants along the 800 kilometre journey. For Rick, this is a journey of inspiration and discovery. In each step of his trip, he delights in the local products and techniques and demonstrates how to make traditional recipes from the artichoke salads of Brittany to the traditional Agen dish of rabbit with prunes; from the famous sausages of Toulouse to the cassoulet of Castelnaudry; and from John Dorey cooked in the vermouth of Marseille to a Carmargue speciality of roast bass and fennel. A feast for the senses, Rick Stein's French Odyssey is a souvenir of an unusual and idyllic journey through rural France and a celebration of a rich gastronomic tradition.

Official review and highlights featuring all the action from the 2006 Ulster Grand Prix.
A combination of dramatic reconstruction, spectacular photography and Simon Schama's unique, personal style of storytelling transport the viewer back to the intense moments when great works were conceived and born: the murderous, messianic world of Baroque Rome; opulent, parvenu Amsterdam; paranoid, revolutionary Paris; Victorian England suffocating beneath riches and righteousness; the madhouses and brothels of Provence; the carnage of civil war Spain; 1950s New York, caught between Cold War jitters and Manhattan glitter. In each place, a great artist is backed into a corner, facing a crisis, given a chance to confound his rivals, enemies and critics one more time.
