The Finishing Line
Director
When a schoolboy's day-dream of a fantasy sports day includes events where acts of vandalism and trespass are required, dire consequences ensue. Originally created as an educational film, this somewhat surrealist short has a serious message at its core. This won't be a lesson you'll forget in a hurry.

Only a Fool Breaks the 2 Second Rule - Hospital
Director
A shadowy man in black warns viewers of the perils of forgetting to follow the simple two second rule - that is, keeping a sufficient distance from the car ahead when driving. Directed by John Krish, who made numerous similarly macabre films, this is one of three public information films produced as a series on public road safety. The images from the series may no longer be familiar to everyone, but the slogan is still in use today.
Only a Fool Breaks the 2 Second Rule - Pile-up
Director
Death walks the roads, clad in black. Public information films such as this often draw on film genre stylings to make you look twice and see the unnoticed dangers in everyday situations. Film noir music and shadows, thriller editing and horror surprises make an effective shorthand to grab audience attention when brevity is key. A black-clad figure representing Death is common - sometimes silent, sometimes delivering impatient advice as if tired of us mortal fools.
Drive Carefully, Darling
Director
An exhortation to drivers to pay attention to road safety. In just 15 minutes, John Krish manages to give this road safety film something new and different by presenting events not from the point of view of the driver, but of his brain, memory and ego, who operate from a rather camp technology-driven command centre.

They Had an Idea
Director
In every industry men still need skill and knowledge, but the addition of a dash of imagination will often mean more pleasure from the job as well as greater efficiency. The film presents four examples: the invention of a ratchet device for turning rails; reshaping worn spanners at a locomotive works; speeding up the replacement of old escalator slats by means of an attachment to a drill; and finally, the thoughtful porter working at a country station who goes out of his way to warn a regular passenger of a change in the timetable.
