Surveillance Secrets

Synopsis

Ever wondered what it would be like to be a spy? Ever fancied yourself as a bit of a James Bond?
Join Fabian and the team in this feature length documentary film that will blow the lid on the secret world of espionage and surveillance. This fly-on-the-wall documentary plunges the viewer on a journey of suspense into espionage, surveillance tactics and the closely-guarded techniques currently in use by elite agencies like MI5, MI6, FBI, CIA, Special Air Service, Counter Terrorism Units and undercover law enforcement.
Filmed across various locations around Greater Manchester and London, Surveillance Secrets is a docufilm about adventure, excitement and intrigue .... As long as you accept that things are never always quite what they seem. The film follows a group of private investigators, covert surveillance operatives, former military, and law enforcement officers, taking the viewer through a full spectrum of espionage techniques, including foot surveillance, mobile surveillance, maintaining a false identity, 'going grey' - the ability to blend into any given environment, specialist surveillance equipment, planning and reconnaissance.

Director: Ornella Mutoni

Here, course leader Emilienne, a mother, therapist and genocide survivor, helps the group to imagine a future free from family secrets and societal stigma.

Frank Zappa reads at The Nova Convention in New York City NOVA '78

Director: Aaron Brookner, Rodrigo Areias

Year: 2025

NOVA '78 resurrects the legendary Nova Convention, the groundbreaking three-day gathering held in New York in 1978 to celebrate William S. Burroughs and the artistic revolution he inspired. Built from newly restored, previously unseen 16mm footage shot by Howard Brookner, the film captures extraordinary performances and intimate backstage moments featuring Patti Smith, Frank Zappa, Laurie Anderson, Allen Ginsberg, Philip Glass, John Cage, Merce Cunningham and many other defining voices of the era. More than a concert film or historical record, NOVA '78 is an immersive time capsule of a fleeting moment when literature, music, art and radical ideas collided to reshape contemporary culture.
