The fifth of seven films.
The world is projected upside down on to the retina at the back of the eye. Yet we see the right way up. For seven days a volunteer, Susannah Fiennes, saw the world through inverting spectacles. Her experiences were bizarre but 'it just doesn't feel as if things are upside down'. That is because seeing takes place in the brain and inside it there are no pictures. Instead there is a code for seeing, and Professor David Marr proposed a controversial theory to crack it. It turns out that the symbols of the code are very close to the 3D images that the artist Anthony Green plucks from inside his head and irons out on to his flat, but never rectangular, canvases.

A series of monthly films exploring the English hedgerow.

Midsummer in the hedgerow brings roses, elderflowers and an abundance of exquisite grasses. David Streeter and Rosamond Richardson reveal the beauty of the hedgerow at this time of the year, show how to trace documents which may tell us something of its history, and make a refreshing elderflower cordial for the family picnic.
