  • Les fils du vent (2012)

    7. Les fils du vent

    20121h 30m
    7.8 (37)
    They hold a "travel permit" instead of an identity card; they are free, poignant and brotherly. They are the "Brothers of the Wind" as filmed by Bruno Le Jean in a music documentary: Angelo Debarre, Ninine Garcia, Tchavolo Schmitt and Moreno. Django-style swing permanently caresses their guitars. It is not so much the concerts that Bruno Le Jean has captured but rather the soul of his heroes. He does so using images and a sense of composition and movement that has everything: emotion, humour and poetry. Crafted with tact and sensitivity by a "gadjo" who truly understands gypsy culture, Les Fils du vent is an indisputable success.

  • Inside the Medieval Mind (2008)

    20. Inside the Medieval Mind

    2008– 4 epsTV Mini Series
    7.8 (153)
    In Inside the Medieval Mind, one of the world's greatest authorities on the Middle Ages, Professor Robert Bartlett of St Andrews University, investigates the intellectual landscape of the medieval world. In this series he opens up the often surprising discontinuities and similarities between the medieval age and our own as he remarks: "In many ways these were people very much like us, in terms of family, ambitions for children and the world of emotions. On the other hand, they inhabited a very different world, in which it was believed the dead visited the living, and where somewhere there lived a race of people with the heads of dogs." The series comprises four one hour programmes, each on a different aspect of medieval thinking: Belief; Sex; Power; Knowledge. During the series he visits numerous medieval locations, from Westminster Abbey to Pluscarden Abbey near Inverness, with wide use of readings from original medieval sources.
