The film is shot in a strict cinema-verite format and incorporates a rare historical clip of Hitchcock’s 1929 screen test for “Blackmail”.

PARIS LOST – FELIKS TOPOLSKI                              30 mins     (1980)

Produced & Directed by Revel Guest
Antenne 2

At one time, Feliks Topolski’s rapid scribbles in the middle of a crowd made him ‘more widely know to the general public than any draughtsman who ever lived’. Bernard Shaw considered him as ‘perhaps the greatest of all the impressionists in black and white’. His work in Paris disappeared during the war, only to be returned in 1963 by a German doctor who had brought them from a Russian soldier and who had later spent years deciphering the signature. 

Topolski returns to Paris half a century later to recapture the spirit of his earlier works, to find that though the architectural landscape had remained unchanged, the invasion of tourists had fashioned a modern city. This autobiography in pictures shows Topolski to have been an uncanny witness at every major world event.

4 AMERICAN COMPOSERS                                 4 x 60mins     (1983)

Produced by Revel Guest, Directed by Peter Greenaway
Channel 4

Acclaimed filmmaker Peter Greenaway directed these four films as his first major television project. The films focus on the work of Philip Glass, John Cage, Robert Ashley and Meredith Monk, who have helped influence the development of contemporary music worldwide.

John Cage believes environmental sounds and noises are more interesting and more aesthetically useful than the sound produced by the world’s musical cultures.  Challenging convention and developing musical concepts through the process of chance operations and indeterminacy, Cage has become one of the world’s most revolutionary and influential composers.  In this performance to celebrate his 70thBirthday, Cage links various works through his multifarious career.

Philip Glass’s music combines Western classical with Eastern influences and visceral rock. His hypnotic, rhythmic sound is appreciated by rock, jazz and classical audiences alike, which has made him one of the most successful living American composers.  This film features The Philip Glass Ensemble performing passages from Einstein on the Beach, Music in Similar Motion, and Glassworks, and revealing interviews with Glass on his creative process.

Robert Ashley has created a new musical genre that breaks the accepted tradition of how images and sounds go together in a dramatic form. He performs excerpts from Perfect Lives, a surreal comic opera about reincarnation – which takes place somewhere in Illinois, where the strange events of everyday life are unfolding. Using on-stage television sets from multiple imaging, Ashley’s voice is at the centre of continuous song narrative of these episodes in American small town mythology.

Meredith Monk a multimedia artist, has transcended the boundaries of vocal song in her exploration of the outer limits of the human voice. Her choreography employs primordial, futuristic ballet movements. She is also her own composer and filmmaker and blends them all into a unique style of performance. With her group, Monk performs excerpts from Dolman Music, Travelling, Quarry, Ellis Islandand Turtle Dreams.

Produced by Revel Guest, Directed by Revel Guest, Roger Parsons, Jonathan Stamp
Channel 4 + A&E + Teleac + Hellenic TV
Narrated by Juliet Stevenson

Greek Fire is a series about modern man’s search for himself, which uses 2,500 years of history to stimulate our natural curiosity about our roots.  No culture in history has had a greater influence on modern man than classical Greece. Our current views on sex, science, religion, drama, politics, philosophy architecture and war all have their roots in the Greek city states which flourished five centuries before the birth of Christ. 

Source

The story begins in Sparta, but in Sparta Wisconsin. From Athens to the American Mid-West, the Greeks are part of the modern lives we lead. The geography they dominate is the geography of our imagination. 

Myth

The myth of Oedipus, through Freud, has had far more effect on us than it ever had on the Greeks. Freud linked myth to the movements of the consciousness. Yung called the collect unconsciousness a myth – producing part of the mind. 

Politics

The world is turning upside down and it is all in the name of an ideal, in a word invented by the Greeks – democracy.

Sex

Ancient Greek myths involve endless tales of seduction. In ancient Greek pottery, painting and poetry you find exuberant sexuality and uninhibited sexual activity in abundance.

Tragedy

The Greeks have left a legacy which challenges and shocks our modern attitude toward calamity and disaster. 

Architecture

Architecture is the most public of the arts, shaping the way we live. Polyclitus said that proportion is not a matter of personal taste, but depends on mathematical laws of harmony, which can only be broken at the expense of beauty.

In this two part series discover the unexplained phenomenon of sleep and dreams. 

1 Science of Sleep 

We spend one-third of our lives sleeping, yet we understand so little about sleep and how critical it is, not just for our survival, but also for our safety, productivity and performance. The Exxon Valdaz oil spill, the Space Shuttle Challenger tragedy, the Bhopal toxic chemical leak, the space Station Mir collision – in every case personnel fatigue was a cited factor – somebody involved did not get enough sleep. It’s an increasingly critical worldwide problem. This documentary explores what really happens when we are sleep deprived, and investigates current research into a variety of sleep disorders. 

2 Science of Dreams 

Though we may not recall them, we each have four or five dreams a night. Do they really have meaning, or are they more akin to madness? By their very nature, dreams are difficult to analyze scientifically. They occur when we are at our least conscious, often evaporate before we wake, and don’t leave anything tangible behind to examine. Nevertheless, dreams have become an established and accepted subject in the scientific community, and THE SCIENCE OF DREAMS presents some of the world’s foremost experts in dream study.
