- An international documentary on the topic of love and sex. In most ancient cultures, sexuality played an important part in religion and spirituality. Many of these practices are resurfacing.
- From all over the world thousands of affluent and educated seekers flock to the Rajneesh's ashram in Poona, India. We gain access to the Rajneesh and to the exotic private and public lifestyles that have earned him headlines around the world. The documentary also provides intimate portraits of some of the disciples around Rajneesh, including a young American actor, a former CIA agent, a German princess, a young Australian and Rajneesh's personal dentist.
- Swedish "sin" is better known throughout the world than Swedish steel, to judge by the interest shown by many foreign publications. About the myth of it, illuminated by a bed-warming male and female dialogue, official statistics and images of everyday emancipation on the streets, in porn shops, clubs and cinemas.
- Anne Deveson's 1991: Spinning Out will help people to understand the human face of a uniquely human disease - schizophrenia. There is no known cause or cure. Schizophrenia has been a puzzle for centuries. One in a hundred people will develop the illness. 25% of these will have a single attack, then recover, but most sufferers experience recurrent tormenting attacks. Anne Deveson, whose own son was schizophrenic, speaks directly to experts on the subject - schizophrenics themselves and their families. We meet Simon, a consumer advocate and artist; Jay, a mathematical physicist and his daughter, Susan, who is also schizophrenic; street kid, Ace; and Bill and Paul who have spent most of their lives in institutions. It is a touching and important film which argues strongly for activism amongst patients, carers and the psychiatric profession.
- About a strange computerized future where women "run things" by controlling huge colourful computers that go bleep booble bob bob ping etc, comes Yockoo, the boy from the bush, with his satchel of dried fruits. Slowly the women overcome their cold, futuristic ways in light of Yockoo's size, shape and overall manliness. Eventually they unearth their deep feminine sexuality and cook Yockoo a feast of dried fruit dishes using cooking utensils from their local museum.
- A satirical enquiry into the origins of media, their distribution and their effects on the way we behave. Those familiar with cartoonist Bruce Petty's award winning film Leisure will enjoy the same sharp wit brought to bear on another institution, the media. This three-part film is a satirical enquiry into the origins of media, their distribution and their effects on the way we behave. The first part provides a brief history of print, radio, television and film. The second part proposes that a market-placed media produces the problem of monopolisation leading to mediocrity. Finally, Petty produces a caricature of the way ideas form in the mind from reading print, as distinct from passive looking and listening.
- Domestic architecture, interior furnishing and the design of household objects were the subject of a protracted debate during the 1930's. To increase Britain's export sales, standards of design had to be raised, but there was no consensus for either of the two contenders-Bauhaus and Swedish inspired functionalism on the one hand or the jazzy modernistic Art Deco style on the other.
