Every four years more than 250 young musicians gather in Moscow to compete for the world's toughest and most valued music prize. Eighteen jurors largely drawn from the top ranks of the Russian musical establishment select a violinist and a pianist for the first prize of the International Tchaikovsky Competition.
This year the brilliant young Ulster pianist Barry Douglas was the focus of British hopes. This film follows his fortunes, and those of his fellow competitors.

Last summer the top 50 surfers in the world came to
Cornwall as part of the World Professional Championships. Meanwhile ... street surfers Billy Joe and Joe Billy (alias The Desperate Men) had other ideas of how to tread the boards without getting wet. 'I like the clothes, the sunglasses, I like the girls, I like the sand, I like the beach, I like the sun, I like the sex
... but you wouldn't catch me out in those waves.'

Tony Hunter has not made a movie for three years.
But with a little persuasion from his friends he takes on the lead in a new Broadway show with both comic and tuneful results. This classic musical features over a dozen memorable numbers including 'By myself, 'That's entertainment' and 'Dancing in the dark'. It is especially memorable for one of the rare post-war appearances of the incomparable Jack Buchanan.

'No human being can take in a story that is truly and imaginatively told without being changed.'
The South African-born writer Sir Laurens van der Post was brought up on a farm in the Orange Free
State. When he first came to London at the age of 22 he had already, in 1926, visited Japan and learned Japanese. He has lived in Britain for over 50 years. His books about the Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert, about his three and a half years as a prisoner of the Japanese during the last war, and about his journey through
Russia in 1963 have made him a highly successful author, particularly appealing to those in search of more spiritual values in an increasingly materialistic age. In this film portrait he talks about his childhood and about South Africa where he returns regularly, remaining an outspoken critic of apartheid yet an opponent of sanctions. He tells of his early struggles as a writer, of his experiences in Japan, and above all of the importance to him of the bush and deserts of southern Africa and of its original people, the Bushmen.

Chicago 1920 - the pre-Depression, flapper era dominated by Prohibition, hot music and tough racketeers. When Joe and Jerry, two underemployed musicians, witness the St Valentine's Day
Massacre they nearly become victims themselves. The only escape is to join an all-girl jazz band heading for Florida. With Curtis and Lemmon in drag and Monroe as the tipsy, ukulele-playing Sugar this frenetic, spoof gangster movie is one of Hollywood's most inventive comedies.
