Bert Stern: Original Mad Man
1 x 60’ or 1 x 89’, 2011, HD
In this unconventional documentary, the original Mad Man photographer reveals himself for the first time. Bert Stern’s 1953 ‘Driest of the Dry’ advertising campaign for Smirnoff introduced America to vodka. Photographing the world’s most beautiful women, the kid from Brooklyn was living a dream. But then it all went wrong. We explore creativity, celebrity, and desire through the eyes of a man who got everything he wanted... almost.

We reveal the extraordinary array of wild birds that grace Manhattan’s Central Park, and the equally colourful New Yorkers who schedule their lives around the rhythms of migration. This film reveals that Central Park acts as a magnet for the millions of birds migrating along the Eastern Seaboard twice every year. Desperate for a rest-stop, the tiny birds funnel in to this oasis of nature amid the sea of steel and concrete.

Blondie’s “Parallel Lines” was the album that captured the spirit of 70s New York at a time of poverty, crime and an exploding arts scene. It sold 16 million copies. This is the story of that album, that time and that city, told primarily by the seven individuals who wrote, produced and performed it.
With her vivaciously innocent flair, there never was a pinup like Bettie Page. Through Page’s own words, we explore her extraordinary life. After a troubled childhood, Page challenged the repression of the 1950s with uncommon grace until she walked away at the peak of her career. A great cult icon, Bettie Page recounts the true story of how her free expression overcame government witch- hunts to help launch America’s sexual revolution.

This documentary follows Carl as he prepares for the gruelling Fauresmith Endurance Ride in South Africa. Carl had been the first blind person to complete the ride two years previously, and he’s determined to prove that it had not been a one-off.
