Jack Johnson's first break into the public music arena was when his composition 'Rodeo Clowns' was chosen to be G-ILove and Special Sauce's first single off their 1999 album 'Philadelphonic'. He had long been a huge figure in the surfing world, having been born and raised in Hawaii. He fast became a renowned surfer and scored a pro contract with Quiksilver before he had left high school. His implicit creativity led him to study and graduate with a degree in film at Santa Barbara. This then led t find out more...

A fascinating deconstruction of the destruction that befell Terry Gilliam's "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote" a film that folded after only six days of filming following a catalogue of disasters which stretch the bounds of credibility. In turns funny and excruciating, Lost In La Mancha is an utterly gripping piece of movie voyeurism. find out more...

A highly personalised documentary account of one filmmaker's frustrated attempts to interview the Chairman of General Motors when he closed down 35,000 jobs in his hometown.

Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus is a thought-provoking road trip through the American South - a world of churches, prisons, coalmines, truck-stops, juke joints, swamps and mountains. Along the way we encounter various musicians, including: The Handsome Family, Johnny Dowd, 16 Horsepower and David Johansen, old time banjo player Lee Sexton, Rockabilly and Mountain Gospel churches, and novelist Harry Crews. All tell grisly stories down a dirt track. The film is a collage of stories and testimon find out more...

On one level it's terrifying, another tragic, but there's no denying it's utterly hypnotic. A hall seething with demonic young children obsessed with the national spelling Bee competition, a cruel concept made all the more vicious by parental participation. Spellbound is a dazzling documentary, sad, funny, and like any particularly fine true story....almost unbelievable. find out more...

Produced by Spike Lee, CSA is a wickedly clever 'mockumentary' that attempts to show what life in America may have been like if the South had won the civil war. The film is peppered with fake adverts, together with some that are rooted in reality and manages to be satirically humorous as well as genuinely thought provoking. find out more...

There were people out to bring Bill Clinton ‘down', did you know that? Did you even suspect it? The Hunting of The President is an intriguing documentary adapted from the bestselling book, a litany of dodgy dealings and attempts to discredit a president that, for all his likeability, had more than his fair share of skeletons stuffed in the closet. The story deals principally with the campaigns of old enemies from Arkansas and newer ones from the right-wing press and Washington establishment, but find out more...

The brutal murder of Matthew Shepard divided America, broke hearts and changed the way that people view hate-crimes.

After the attack, a theatre troupe headed to Laramie to work on a play based on the real-life reactions of the townspeople and those involved. The film is a re-e find out more...
