23.6. TO BE DELIVERED OF (59 min) A documentary on the theme of childbirth from a personal angle, exploring the various stages from the emotional point of view, this is a film which will describe the mental development and physical processes a woman undergoes. Gradually it will become obvious that from the moment it is born, a child is a "round-a-clock-project" indeed, a project for life, one we never let go. The film will give us pause to reflect on childbirth in our own western culture, where the native instincts are fading away.
30.6.
7.7. In 1974 Lozinski made a documentary about a young woman who ran a small farm all by herself. 23 years later, the film group returned to the farm. A documentary about choices, freedom, loneliness and happiness - and about the responsibility of the film maker.
12.7. Micha is a young entrepreneur caught up in the Russian depression. He fights for his life to survive. In order to do so, he goes looking for entrepreneurs to convince them either to join a business club or to lend money. During this trip, we discover a large range variety of these new Russian entrepreneurs, ranging from the small "tacky" businessman to those who boast their success.
21.7. Bombay, 11 June: the first raindrops have finally fallen. It's the monsoon. For days you could feel it coming. The crows were going frazy, and finally, yesterday, the downpour that bowled us over after nine months without a drop of rain.
28.7. The Last Cigarrette is to smoking what Rafferty's The Atomic Café was to nuclear warfare: an entertaining and irreverent exploration of a deadly subject. It made entire from achival footage.
4.8. In August 1969 Lawrence Pitkehly was a young BBC journalist filming in protestant and catholic communities and with the British Army as it occuped Northern Ireland. In this film, he returns to the same streets. What has changed?
