Earthquake
In 1980, 3,000 people died and almost 500,000 were made homeless when an earthquake struck Naples and the surrounding villages in southern Italy. Five years later, buildings remain in ruins and thousands are still living in squalid container camps, waiting for the hopelessly inefficient authorities to rehouse them.

Semana Santa
Each year. in Holy Week, the Spanish city of Seville is transformed into a setting for medieval pageantry and processions depicting the Passion of Christ. The population doubles; night is turned into day; the sound of brass and drum is loud in the streets; the sight of bejewelled Virgins and of the suffering
Christ dazzles the eye; and the air is heavy with the smell of orange blossom mingled with wax and incense.
Trader Faulkner captures the unique atmosphere of this most famous of European religious festivals.

The Rise of the Gross-out Comedy
In 1978 National Lampoon's
Animal House was released in the USA. Critics found low humour and dependable, if juvenile, gags; young audiences found a new kind of comedy; and Hollywood discovered a bonanza: Animal House broke all existing box-office records. The result was a revolution in bad taste which led to films like Ghostbusters, Spies Like Us, Police Academy, and bred a new style of American comedy. Christopher Frayling looks at the long trail of offensive humour which started as a defiant satirical magazine produced by Harvard graduates and ended in cinematic food fights.
