Anne Cottringer and Richard Branczik of Cantilupe Projects spent more than a year filming the lives of young farmers in Herefordshire in the UK. The result is an intimate, lyrical and sometimes gritty portrait of a new generation facing the challenges of the modern world.
Examines contradictory male attitudes towards women in 1980's Britain
Mothers, architects, artists, shoppers and other women who live and work in Birmingham explore the contradictions of the city, its promises, frustrations and disappointments, and suggest that listening to the experiences of women may hold the answer to the impoverished 'concrete jungle' so familiar today.
A BAFTA award nominated film tracing the development and usage of the documentary photograph through the work of three practitioners: Humphrey Spender, Derek Smith and Jimmy Forsyth.
Documentary which looks at the history of the welfare state in Britain, from the point of view of women. Using 1940's newsreels to examine the picture portrayed of women in the welfare state, the reality of the 1980s is discussed by women from Tyneside. The reality of their lives contrasts sharply with the hopes and aspirations of the 40s and 50s, shown through films and songs of the period when the welfare state was first established.
