Hilversum's Betrayal
The Dutch Public Broadcasters in '40-'45
During the Second World War, the Dutch radio broadcasting associations tried at all costs, to maintain their position, with far-reaching concessions to the German occupier… At a time of new tensions on the European continent and a more extensive fragmentation in society, it makes one wonder: what is the lesson from ’40-’45 for current broadcasters?

Romania under the communist dictator Ceausescu was a country of food shortages and Orwellian surveillance of ordinary people by the secret police. In 1983, TV repairman Ion Bugan made a personal demonstration against the system. He was jailed immediately. From then, until the day they left for America six years later, his family were followed by secret police wherever they went. Their friends and relatives were also under heavy surveillance
Now, 25 years after they left, the Bugans return to Romania to retrace Ion’s steps and to face their relatives, friends and former neighbours.

James Avati
A Life in Paperbacks
Documentary about James Avati, who had a career as a pre-eminent paperback cover artist in an illustrious 40-year career that began during the paperback revolution of the 1950s. His work helped popularise the literature of Erskine Caldwell, James T. Farrell, William Faulkner, Alberto Moravia, Ayn Rand, Louis Brom and many others. Avati’s genius lay in evoking emotion — painting tension, humor, avarice, compassion, suggestiveness, yearning, mischief and a score of other feelings into the faces and postures of characters not more than two inches high.
