The Human Animal: A Personal View of the Human Species is a BBC nature documentary series written and presented by Desmond Morris, which focuses on the behaviour of homo sapiens, examining areas such as love and sex, baby rearing, the importance of urban habitat and the roots of our creativity.
Somewhat based on Desmond Morris's fascinating book of pop anthropology, this partially animated satirical docudrama produced by Playboy Magazine publisher Hugh Hefner, traces the evolution of human kind and offers insight into the reasons why we behave the way we do. Though often dealing with sexuality, nothing in the film is terribly offensive or graphic. A prime example of mainstream experimental film-making from the early 70's featuring a young and breathtakingly lovely Victoria Principal.
A woman runs. A man chases. The two find themselves occasionally in dream-states, where each find themselves in the company of a doctor (for the man) or a magician (for the woman).
Renowned human behaviourist Desmond Morris turns his highly trained zoological eye on the differences in men and women, comparing different aspects of male and female biology and behaviour. He introduces us to the differences in the body and the brain, sex-specific rituals, sex and parenting roles and the status of the sexes in different societies around the globe.
Documentary about Jane Goodall, a young secretary from Bournemouth with no scientific qualifications, who entered a remote forest in Africa in 1960 and became accepted by a group of wild chimpanzees. Her discoveries transformed our understanding of them and challenged the way we define ourselves as human beings by showing just how close we are as a species to our closest living relatives. In the film, we discover the person behind the myth, what motivates her and the personal cost her life's work has exacted from her.
A documentary about the painter, clockmaker and author Kit Williams, and his 1979 book Masquerade. A treasure hunt in book form, Masquerade became a national obsession as Britons tried to decode its mystery and find the golden rabbit Williams had buried in a location which would be revealed upon solving the book's enigma.
Art documentary about the Accademia Carrara gallery, which reopened in 2015 after seven years of extensive restoration.
