• Looking For Light - Jane Brown | DVD | (26/05/2014) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £17.99

  A revealing portrait of this most self-effacing but great portrait photographer emerges through conversation anecdote and candid reflection. In the almost six decades that Jane Bown (b 1925) worked for the Observer newspaper she became renowned for insightful highly individualistic portraits of the famous. Some of these portraits are now regarded as classics of the genre - Samuel Beckett Queen Elizabeth the Beatles Bertrand Russell Mick Jagger Margaret Thatcher etc. Bown's great mantra is 'photographers should neither be seen nor heard'. Diminutive in stature and with an all-important ability to blend into the background Bown was the antithesis of the Fleet Street macho photojournalist. This feature documentary is a beautiful portrait of both Jane Bown her determination to succeed in an almost exclusively male world and her process of working as a photographer. It includes interviews with Rankin Nobby Clark and Don McCullin and her many iconic photographs of the great and the good (and a few bad) of the twentieth and twenty first centuries.

  The Search for AtlantisFor hundreds of years archaeologists have searched for the legendary city of Atlantis in North Africa, Europe and even the Caribbean, but all this time it may have lain undiscovered in the Americas. This film brings a new and startling theory about the ill-fated city of Greek legend to light as Discovery Channel’s cameras record the unearthing of a lost civilisation buried beneath Bolivia’s high plains. Atlantis Mystery of the MinoansIn the early 1900s, archaeologist Arthur Evans uncovered a lost civilization at Knossos, in Crete. Calling them ‘Minoan’, Evans spent the next 30 years learning why these people disappeared but he died before solving the riddle. A young archaeologist named Spyridon Marinatos picked up Evans’ trail and found similarities between the Minoans and Plato’s Atlantis. In 1939, Marinatos proposed that Thera, an island north of Knossos fell into the sea when its volcano erupted around 1500B.C. and in 1967, he found the enormous Minoan metropolis beneath Theras’ surface. The Lost City of AtlantisAdventure journalist Olly Steeds investigates Atlantis’ fabled destruction. Are there forces of nature deadly enough to annihilate an entire civilisation in an instant? To find out, Olly explores the depths of the Mediterranean Sea, travels to an ancient city swallowed by the earth, treks Europe’s most active volcano, and journeys to the site of one of the world’s worst disasters in order to find out what really happened to the fabled city of Atlantis.
