Storm, quite simply is a video recording of a car ride at night in hurricane forces. This is visual art that delivers us from the purely visual back to the world of the physical experience with all our senses awakened. Instead of bringing us the installation photographic image – or the digitally enhanced photographic simulation – these artists direct us from the world of images to the world of things, inviting us to grapple with them at first hand.

Dennis and Barb McDonald are empty nesters from the suburbs. On this day they get legal possession of their new house. They have privately purchased the burned out house directly from its owner. John Jeffery grew up in this house. He has been living on the property since the fire destroyed the house a year ago. John is the last of the old families with deep roots still on the street. He is now surrounded by recent neighbours who are more interested in retrofitting character homes than the people who live in them.

Película con guión del autor de la novela en la que se basó "Trainspotting", "Acid house" se compone de tres historias ambientadas en Escocia. La primera de ellas, "La causa de Granton Star", es una comedia negra sobre venganza, fútbol y religión. La segunda, "Un blandengue", es una historia de amor y traición con un protagonista al que manipulan fácilmente los que le rodean. La tercera, titulada "Acid House", es un relato cómico que se aproxima a lo surreal acerca del matrimonio, los niños y el consumo desmesurado de ácido.

First shown on Channel 4, the camera crew were given unparallelled access to the England camp, climaxing with the emotionally exhausting spectacle of Taylor's touchline breakdown as England lose to Holland in a vital qualifying game. The video includes previously unseen footage.
