UNDER THE SPELL OF HORSES

UNDER THE SPELL OF HORSES is a beautifully shot four-part series that explores the ancient relationship between horses and man.

The program takes us through Morroco, where once a year the royal city of Meknes is transformed into an oriental military-style camp, and Argentina, one of the world’s richest and most diverse horse cultures. We also visit India and the volcanic island of Iceland – both equally rich in horse culture.

EROTIC TALES

EROTIC TALES is a series of short films by prolific international directors, including Bob Rafelson (USA), Paul Cox (AUSTRALIA) and Nicholas Roeg (UK), who were given carte blanche to create films that captured their vision of the erotic in their cultures.

Far from the stigma of lewd or exploitative erotica, these are skillfully directed stories of fantasy, humour, the poetic and the exotic from some of the world’s top filmmakers, and featuring well-know actors as diverse Claudia Karvan, Mira Sorvino and Barry Otto.
