Synopsis

Since the war on another rogue state is going so well, United States Secretary of Defence D. Crockett Bunker, in an understandably bullish mood, openly briefs reporters in the Pentagon press room. Throughout the session, Secretary Bunker is articulate and concise, even when some of the more radical elements in the press ask obstinate questions. Although sticking firmly to his principles, Secretary Bunker remains diplomatic and courteous throughout. But supposing he had come out saying what he really meant? Rewind. Start again. The same press conference, but this time Bunker gives it the way America wants to hear it!

Synopsis

Brothers of the Head  is the story of conjoined twins Tom and Barry Howe - a freak show turned proto-punk sensation.

As teenagers in the early 1970s, the Howe twins were plucked from obscurity by a music promoter who groomed them into a rock-and-roll act. Against all expectations, the boys - performing as The Bang-Bang - quickly appropriated their status as 'freaks' and spat it back in the form of searing, aggressive rock.
Grasping at the truth from an array of often unreliable accounts, the story follows the twins as they negotiate love, artistic rivalry, and the cruel suppression of their unique voice.

Brothers of the Head  investigates our impulse to celebrate the extraordinary, and our tragic compulsion to claim, de-mystify and destroy it.

Synopsis

London, early 1900s. Two friends, Josef and Peter, are building a suspension bridge high above the city. Each is fearless, despite the dangers of their situation. Josef, in particular, enjoys the freedom of almost touching the sky, balancing dangerously between life and death. One day, while walking precariously on a girder, Josef turns to speak with his friend - Peter is gone.

Josef is devastated at the loss of his friend and, following Peter's burial, he determines to forge a new life away from the sad memories of him. Spying an advertising poster for Dempsey's Circus, he sees the image of its star, trapeze artist Alice. A beautiful creative with whom he falls in love with instantly, and is determined to meet.

Josef joins Dempsey's Circus doing menial tasks, but has a dream. One day he gets the opportunity to show Lord Dempsey, Alice's father and the circus owner, his vision to appear in an incredible trapeze act with Alice. Dempsey, a rough and unpleasant man, is sceptical, yet recognises the opportunity for his ailing business. Alice, although attracted to Josef, is wary and reticent after a lifetime spent in the circus, but Josef, full of love, only wants to fly with her like two birds. The day comes when Alice and Josef are to perform for the first time. Before an excited and expectant audience, tragedy ensues and Josef is never the same again, yet all is not as it seems.
