It is autumn, and the landscape is beginning to turn as oranges, reds and browns take over from the rich green of the summer. On the McBrides' farm on Fairhead, Sean and his son Gerard are preparing calves for market. On the moors on Glenwherry Hill, Glenarm's head gamekeeper is leaving grit out for the grouse. In the coastal village of Cushendall, members of the Cairns estate are preparing for a Halloween fundraising event at Tiveragh allotments. Angler Sean McIlhatton has been fishing the River Dun in Glendun since he was 16. He talks about his love of the river and his worry that salmon and trout numbers are continuing to decline. In Glenarm, staff on the historic castle estate are gathering apples to press into juice, while in Glendun, farmer John McAuley is checking on his sheep. He has built a public footpath on his land, Ronan's Way, named after his son who tragically died at the age of 38. The footpath is now ready for its official opening.

The Glens are entering what would normally be their busiest season, as visitors come to enjoy the unspoiled beaches and pretty villages that hug the coastline. Covid-19 restrictions have led to the cancellation of village festivals but there are still ways to have fun and the Glens' community is used to dealing with adversity. In Carnlough, Robert and Tiffany are welcoming visitors back to the caravan park while in Glenshesk the Devlins are preparing their shepherd's hut for its first overnight guests. In Cushendall, Aimee and Orlagh are celebrating the return of the camogie season with some new hurls. As the sun gets stronger, sheep farms around The Glens are busy shearing. At the McBride farm on Fairhead, sheep dog Jess is helping to bring in the herd from the cliffs. She's been training all year and is coming on well, although Gerard still wishes she had a middle gear. On the cliffs of Rathlin Island, just a few miles off the north coast, Richard Else from RSPB NI is enjoying breeding season at the West Light Seabird Centre. At Glenarm Castle, despite Covid-19, estate manager Adrian is getting ready for the annual Dalfest music festival. This year no crowds are allowed, so the event is instead being streamed online. Adrian marvels at modern technology and the strangeness of artists like Alexandra Burke and Nathan Carter performing to sheep.

Dong

Dong

China's greatest living filmmaker Jia Zhangke (Platform, The World) travels with acclaimed painter Liu Xiaodong from China to Thailand as they meet everyday workers in the throes of social turmoil. Liu Xiaodong is well-known for his monumental canvases, particularly those inspired by China's Three Gorges Dam project. In DONG, Jia Zhangke visits Liu on the banks of Fengjie, a city about to be swallowed up by the Yangtze River. The area is in the process of being "de-constructed" by armies of shirtless male workers who form the subject of Liu's paintings. Liu and Jia next travel to Bangkok, where Liu paints Thai sex workers languishing in brothels. The two sets of paintings are united in their subjects' shared sense of malaise in the face of the dehumanizing labor afforded them.

The Narnia Code

The Narnia Code

Documentary examining claims that CS Lewis's Narnia Chronicles contain a hidden meaning. CS Lewis wrote the Narnia Chronicles over 50 years ago, yet they are more popular today than ever. When they were first published, many critics thought them little more than childish scribblings, replete with random characters and unexplained events. Even Lewis's good friend JRR Tolkien thought them confused and misconceived. Other scholars were sure there was something more, something hidden beneath the stories. Although many tried, none could find this secret key of Narnia - until now. Dr Michael Ward, a young academic and expert in all things Lewisian, claims he has found the answer at last: he has discovered the Narnia Code. Using dramatisations of Lewis's early life and career, the programme travels the world, from the Mid-West of modern America to the battlefields of the First World War, meeting experts, testing evidence and uncovering surprising questions and ideas that still challenge readers today.

Distant

Distant

DISTANT is a film that is made up of 13 sections, each comprised of a single long take. Each section tells a story about distance between different time and space, focusing on the subtle moments when people are suddenly confronted with modernity and gradually become lost in the transition between this and their present lives. Without any dialogue, simply working with image, sound and actions of the characters, these 13 dramatic, realistic and mysterious scenes are painted. It tries to describe today's human condition in an abstract way - its alienation, abandonment and eternal loneliness.
