A sculptor found a beautiful stone on a hillside which was too heavy to move. Every day as he worked on it a postman cycled by without comment. Eventually a female figure took shape and the postman asked - 'How did you know she was in there?'
A film featuring the work of Irish sculptors and their tradition of stone-carving.

A Cinegael production

Narrated by David Attenborough
A series of eight films

On the high, misty slopes of active volcanoes, 2,000 years ago, the people of Java built shrines for the spirits of their ancestors. With the coming of Indian religions, they re-dedicated their shrines to Shiva, the Hindu God of Destruction.

It was the beginning of a golden age of temple building which was to culminate in the creation of Borobudur, a giant man-made 'cosmic mountain', then as now, the largest monument in the southern hemisphere.

Today 95 per cent of Javanese are Muslims, but the sultans' palaces continue to nurture the serene classical dances which once came from India, and their celebrated shadow puppets are still revered as ancestral spirits.

A Greek general, an American reporter, a British consul and his wife, are among a group of people trapped on a Greek island during the war of 1912. Plague breaks out, and a peasant woman warns of the presence of a vorvolaka - a vampirish being that drains all joy from the living and possesses the newly dead. Boris Karloff stars as the dour general in another vintage excursion into terror by master producer Val Lewton.

Starring Lane Carroll, W. G. McMillan

When the inhabitants of a small mid-American town begin going insane and dying from the effects of a secret virus which has accidentally polluted their water supply, the authorities declare martial law.
