In Pride And Prejudice: Having A Ball, social historian Amanda Vickery leads the action as a team of experts recreate a Regency ball in honour of the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen’s popular novel. Joined by Alastair Sooke and a coterie of professionals – a food historian, a costume expert, music history academics and a choreographer who trains a team of dance students to take to the floor– cameras will follow the recreation inspired by Austen’s Netherfield ball. This intimate country house ball drives the plot of the Pride And Prejudice, and is a key turning point in the romance between Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy.

Os contos heroicos da WW2 são lendários, mas a Operação Crossbow (Besta) é uma história pouco conhecida que merece ser incluída no Hall da Fama: como os Aliados usaram fotos em 3D para frustrar as armas de destruição em massa dos nazistas antes que pudessem destruir a Grã-Bretanha. O filme reúne os heroicos pilotos de Spitfire que tiraram as fotografias e as mentes brilhantes da RAF Medmenham que montaram o quebra-cabeça de pistas escondidas nas fotos. Hitler estava injetando uma fortuna em suas novas armas V com a esperança de que pudessem ganhar a guerra. Mas Medmenham tinha uma arma secreta própria, um estereoscópio simples que trouxe à vida todos os contornos da paisagem inimiga em perfeito 3D. O diabo estava realmente nos detalhes e, juntamente com extraordinários testemunhos pessoais, o filme mostra como os intérpretes de fotos foram capazes de descobrir os segredos mais desagradáveis de Hitler.

The creation of the film Alien³ (1992) is covered here in this feature-length documentary in exhaustive detail.

The Name of this Film is Dogme95 is an irreverent documentary exploring the origins of Dogme95, the most influential movement in world cinema for a generation. The film tells how a 'brotherhood' of four Danish directors armed with a radical Manifesto, has inspired, outraged and provoked filmmakers and filmgoers the world over. The rules of Dogme95 take filmmaking back to its brass-tacks - stories must be set in the here and now; the films must be shot on location, with a handheld camera, using natural light, and direct sound; the rules forbid murders and weapons (staples of the much-loved action-movie genre); and, most amusingly, the director must not be credited (that holds also for the director of The Name of this Film is Dogme95...).
