Rivers and Tides is a mesmerising and beautifully photographed documentary about Andy Goldsworthy, one of Britain's best known sculptors, renowned worldwide for his work with entirely natural materials such as ice, stone, leaves and wood.

Shot in four countries across four seasons, the film provides a fascinating insight into Goldsworthy's painstaking creative process and captures the elusive quality of his intricate and often ephemeral works, which are threatened and sometimes destroyed by nature and the passing of time.

Documenting the formation of a series of Goldsworthy's intricate and fragile masterpieces, Thomas Reidelsheimer's hauntingly powerful film paints a spellbinding portrait of a unique artist.

In the century that cinema has existed, audiences have become increasingly familiar with the names and faces of the men and women who make our movies; from D W Griffith to Steven Spielberg, directors' names have been widely known to their audiences, and the cult of the movie star is almost as old as cinema itself.

Often overlooked, however, and seldom less a contributor to the final cut than a director, editor, writer or star, is the cinematographer - the DP, the lighting cameraman - the man, or woman, who creates the image to be recorded in that artificial eye, the camera. Visions of Light goes some considerable way towards redressing that oversight. A study in cinematography, this 90-minute programme features interviews with no less than 29 lighting cameramen and directors who acknowledge and illustrate their influences, their mentors, and inspiration with over 100 film clips, and who share with us some of their tactics and secrets.

The programme was originated in the revolutionary format of HDTV (High Definition Television) in an on-screen ratio of 14:9. The many film clips were transferred from their original 35mm prints onto the new high definition format, and these are presented in their original aspect ratios. Included among the programme's many contributors are Ernest Dickerson, Haskell Wexler, Vittorio Storaro and the late Nestor Almendros, to whom this film is dedicated.

Founded on New Year's Eve, 1969 by George Harris, aka 'Hibiscus', the Cockettes were a troupe of flamboyant hippy drag performers who took San Francisco by storm. Over the next two and a half years they created 20 outrageous and colourful shows (with titles like 'A Crab on Uranus Means You're Loved') and several films, culminating in an off-Broadway show that highlighted the cultural chasm at that time between America's East and West coasts. In this documentary tribute, ex-Cockettes and friends tell the story of those LSD-fuelled, gender-bending party days, interspersed with footage of the Cockettes in action and a commentary on the cultural impact the pioneering performers had at the time and in the years that followed, including the subsequent emergence of glam rock and the influence on artists such as David Bowie.

Study of football hooliganism and male culture in Middle England, based on the novel by John King. The main character, Tommy Johnson (Danny Dyer), is a bright but bored 30-year-old with a steady job and close-knit family, who lives for the weekend life of casual sex, lager, drugs - and violence. Through him we meet three other males in his world: Billy Bright (Frank Harper), a right-wing fascist full of bitterness at a country that he perceives as having failed him; Zeberdee (Roland Manookian), a mouthy hooligan whose life revolves around crime and drugs; and Bill Farrell (Dudley Sutton), a 70-year-old war veteran who tries to enjoy every day to the limit. Shot in documentary style using a handheld camera, the film realistically captures the lure and potency of football violence.
