The series of provocative films concentrating on contemporary culture returns for a six-part run.

Regarded as one of America's finest, if unsung, film critics, Manny Farber has won acclaim for his unusual approach to movie analysis, which dispenses with general plot description in favour of considering the concepts of light, tempo and, above all, space.
