THERE'S A PLACE
Leandro Blanco (Spain)
A beautifully photographed and stylish montage; a passionate and evocative
plea to stop trapping animals behind bars in zoos. The music was written
and performed by the maker himself: 'There's a place where time has stood
still, where dreams never come true, . . . where freedom was lost long ago'.

THE REX : A NEW LEASE OF LIFE
John Anderson, Paul Jordan and Trevor Spencer (Yorks)
The story behind the re-opening as a cinema once more on October 7, 1988,
of the Rex in Elland, West Yorkshire. Originally opened in December 1912
as the Central Picture House and re-equipped for sound in 1930, it finally
closed in the early 60s as a cinema and became (off and on) a Bingo hall.
It stood derelict for several years until purchased by two enthusiasts, Charles
Morris and Peter Berry, the latter being a former manager of the cinema.

THE STORM
Sam Cutajar (Malta)
A colourful sunrise and a calm, restless sea. The small creatures and plants
reach up to the warmth of the new day's sun. An explosion of colour leads
to a sequence in which the birds become more and more feverish as the wind
swells. Black clouds roll across the sun and the heavens open. The seas rage,
the rivers race and the lightning forks across the skies. Set in both slow-motion
and real time, this movie contains many moments of superb cinema.
