Locusts: War without End
What is it that is 4 inches long, eats one-and-a-half times its weight each day, and turns Into a swarm that can spread over 1,000 square miles? Answer: a locust.
In one day a big swarm can destroy 400,000 people's food for a whole year. This film shows the last plague of desert locusts in Africa Set in Sudan, Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa, it tells the day-to-day story of where the plague started, why it spread, and how the natural history of the locust nearly combined with the effects of the wars and revolution to produce a locust plague that could have affected one-fifth of the world.

featuring motor racing's Formula One World Championship
Following the tragic death of Gilles Villeneuve at Zolder two weeks ago, the Formula One circus retreats with mixed feelings to its most celebrated venue on the Cote d'Azure. Memories of the French-Canadian's brilliant win here 12 months ago linger on, but motor sport's greatest need today is a politically trouble-free race 'round-the-houses' of this Mediterranean principality.

starring Orson Welles , Keith Baxter John Gielgud , Margaret Rutherford and Jeanne Moreau
Based on five of Shakespeare's plays, this is, in Welles' words, ' a sombre comedy' and a ' lament for Merrie England'. Orson Welles , heading a distinguished cast, gives a characteristically brilliant performance as Falstaff, the embodiment of the richly human, honest and heroic qualities of medieval England whose openness and loyalty eventually become the very cause of his own destruction.
Screenplay by ORSON WELLES . adapted from the plays Richard 11, Henry IV Parts I and 11, Henry V and The Merry Wives of Windsor by william Shakespeare Produced by EMILIANO piedra and ANGEL ESCOLANO
Directed by ORSON WELLES
