Reservoir Dogs: Playing it Fast and Loose
An insightful documentary about the impact and ripple effect of Reservoir Dogs from its release in 1992 and how it has helped redefine contemporary cinema
The Cormorant
Director
For a young couple, the small cottage tucked away in a quiet village in the mountains of north Wales, a legacy from a distant, estranged uncle, is a dream come true. The one condition of the inheritance is that they keep the uncle's beloved pet cormorant. They soon discover, however, that the cormorant is no mere bird, but a foul and malignant creature that may exact a greater price than they are willing to pay. Filmed as part of the BBC series, "Screen Two".
Black Poppies
Director
"A dramatisation of the experiences of black servicemen from the Second World War to the present day. These fascinating accounts - vivid, humorous, often harrowing - offer an unusual and sometimes startling perspective on army life. First produced by the Royal National Theatre Studio and now re-created for television, Black Poppies was filmed on the Broadwater Farm Estate in north London." - Radio Times, 1992
