Set of 3 DVDs
Every year the UNICA Festival donates a compilation programme of major entries to the IAC Library. It is free with only £3 postal charges to pay. Booking is from John Bartlett, videolibrary@theiac.org.uk. This year there are three DVDs in the collection with more than can be shown in a Club evening. I hope the following brief reviews will help your choice. For convenience I have given the English titles. Unless stated there are English subtitles.
