Title:         Storyville: Power, Money, Greed & Oil

Description:   Made over five years, this documentary is a comprehensive

               insider account of a modern-day gold rush as Dallas-based

               Kosmos Energy race ahead to develop the first commercial oil

               field in Ghana’s history, in the deep waters of the Gulf

               of Guinea. Director Rachel Boynton follows the

               larger-than-life cast as Kosmos, the Ghanaian government and

               numerous other stakeholders jostle to realise their huge

               ambitions. While in Ghana she makes side trips to nearby

               Nigeria, whose own oil reserves have been responsible for a

               vicious cycle of exploitation with little appreciable

               benefit to the country itself. The film poses vital

               questions about what fundamentally motivates mankind - is

               unchecked greed an intrinsic part of the human character?

               Can what unites us ever be greater than what divides us?

               from the start as reluctant cooks are confined to the

               kitchen. One of the teams has two very different ideas on

               the table, and a food fight ensues to decide which to go

               with. Some make a meal out of branding their dishes, while

               the rest whip up the food. The next day they have to pitch

               to Britain’s supermarket giants, after testing the

Title:         Glastonbury After Hours

Description:   In this personal film, Julien Temple, who directed the

               definitive documentary history of the Glastonbury Festival,

               explores the alternative side of the festival away from the

               spotlight of the main stages with their global pop

               superstars. In fields known as Shangri La, Arcadia, the

               Unfair Ground, Strummerville, Block 9 and the Common, every

               year an unlikely attempt at utopia takes shape. Here, the

               festival reconnects with its radical, countercultural

               origins combining underground music, performance art and

               some of the funniest and most provocative sights of the

               festival with a dark, urgent 21st century spontaneity.

               Filmed at the 2011 festival, this 75 minute documentary

               features Michael Eavis, the creators of, and visitors to the

               true heart of the Glastonbury, and, fuelled by the music of

               tomorrow, explores the hopes, dreams and personal utopias of

               those who, for one weekend in June, come together as the

               tribes of 21st Century Albion
