While writing a series of articles on Maori life in the rugged North Island country of New Zealand, Tom is befriended by Rawi's family. The two fall swiftly in love, but her family disapproves of her marrying a white man. A quarrel results and Rawi returns to the city to continue her career as a nurse.

A collection of stories from fishing, commercial and scientific people living near three marine reserves in Northland, New Zealand. The first 'no-take' marine reserve was established more than 35 years ago, and the stories here document first hand the changing attitudes over the years. We hear from fishers, tourist operators, scientists and rangers about why these reserves were set up and how the local communities reacted - and adapted - to them. We hear about the economic, social, recreational, scientific and ecological benefits of marine reserves. And we hear about some of the management issues facing marine reserves and their communities.

Modern society sits at the intersection of two crucial questions: What does it mean when artificial intelligence increasingly governs our liberties? And what are the consequences for the people AI is biased against? When MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini discovers that many facial recognition technologies do not accurately detect darker-skinned faces or classify the faces of women, she delves into an investigation of widespread bias in algorithms. As it turns out, artificial intelligence is not neutral, and women are leading the charge to ensure our civil rights are protected.

WARNING: contains extreme flicker/strobe effects; avoid if you have epilepsy or other similar neural conditions. A stroboscopic train ride along a jungle stream. Asian military men appear with their pith-helmets, keeping the ferns, trees, monkeys, natives in line. The master of the stroboscopic depth illusion changes territory, but applies his familiar strategy: a ghostly, flicking film takes us into a deep and ominous Asian past. Jacobs: 'Bangkok, is it? Spelled in an unfamiliar way.' A black-and-white train ride along a jungle stream shows us military men in their pith helmets, keeping the ferns, trees, monkeys and natives in line. Sparse intertitles trigger further thoughts about the war economy.

"The film could have well been called KICKING AND SCREAMING but that only describes me in the process of making it, questioning its taste. Once the message kicked in it overrode all objection. The piece demanded J.G. Thirlwell's music, normally way too overtly expressive for me as most of my stuff comes out of painting and is also to be absorbed in silence. Who will even notice visual innovation now, or what's happening with time? Determining a place between two and three dimensions, pushing time to take on substance, is what I do. SEEKING THE MONKEY KING is a reversion to my mid-twenties and that sense of horror that drove the making of STAR SPANGLED TO DEATH." -- Ken Jacobs Suggestion: Please see 'Another Occupation' before 'Seeking the Monkey King'.

The Body as Archive is a documentary film based on research that considers ways in which the dancer's body can be regarded as archive. A few hypotheses are intended as a frame of its research; is the body of a dancer only a repository of forms of usage? Dancers create, accumulate and carry knowledge - where is it stored and what do they explore through their practice? Is it possible to locate kinetic knowledge and understand its connection between subjective vision and objective realisation? How do cultural and social contexts reflect in the body of a dancer? The Body as Archive explores the role of dancer in the preservation of collective knowledge, its transmission and its accessibility.

Inspired by Boccaccio's novellas, each of the four Boccaccio '70 segments focus on sex, love and seduction in Italy's 1960s, an era of economic growth and major cultural changes. In Renzo e Luciana (Renzo and Luciana) a young couple tries to hide their marriage and the wife’s supposed pregnancy from the draconian rules at their place of employment, which has banned female employees from getting married and having children. Their efforts – both at their shared home (having temporarily moved into her family's crowded apartment), and at work (where they go so far as to pretend not to know each other) – causes pressure to mount on the couple. Their hope is to make it through until they have managed to save some money to move out, and are dependent on Renzo going to night school to become an accountant.

An epic tale of strength and seduction! Journey through time to a gloriously extravagant setting of lust, violence, and treachery in this meticulously restored Oscar®-winning* masterpiece from legendary filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille. Starring Hedy Lamarr and Victor Mature in the title roles, Samson and Delilah follows the story of the Bible's legendary strongman and the woman who seduces, then betrays him. Also featuring a young Angela Lansbury in one of her early film roles and eye-popping costumes from acclaimed designer Edith Head, Samson and Delilah was an instant classic that remains an enduring favourite. When strongman Samson rejects the love of the beautiful Philistine woman Delilah, she seeks vengeance that brings horrible consequences they both regret.

Brace yourself for Sallah, a film that in 1964 put actor Topol and director Efraim Kishon in the permanent spotlight and made Israel a true contender in world cinema. In 1949, a Middle Eastern Jewish family moves to a settlement camp in Israel, not realising the challenges that lie on the horizon for new immigrants. Sallah, the family patriarch with a permanent scowl, discovers the hard way that Israeli bureaucracy could keep his family out of a permanent home for years - and he vows to fight it… his way. His aversion to hard work and socialist values soon makes him a deviant in the eyes of kibbutz leaders and government officials. Sallah is a sharp and often hilarious satire that became the most successful film in Israeli history. It ran a record nine months in New York theatres, for which it received the New York Film Distributors' Award. It launched the career of Topol, who went on to immortalise the character Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof.
