Axel PetersénThe stereotype defines Sweden as a perfect society with a very high quality of life. But is it really a happy country? Is it possible that the most self-sufficient and independent people in the world are unsatisfied? Without the need to ask for help or favours, human contact is reduced to the minimum. There is an increasing number of single mums who have children through artificial insemination. The number of people who die alone is growing year after year. Is it worth assuming isolation and loneliness in order to have a self-sufficient, independent life? Iconoclastic filmmaker Erik Gandini explores the Swedish way of life with a sense of humour, considering how a secure and easy life can turn into an empty and lonely existence.
The Planet is an attempt to find answers about the truths and untruths of the alarming global changes that many claim are already in motion. The film crews have been working for more than 2 years and have visited over 25 countries around the world. The unexpected content in The Planet will unlock the alienated attitude many people have built up in relation to the subject. The Planet is about much more than climate change. It's about the Earth as a whole - it's about the overall global changes we are experiencing right now.

The Gladiators is a bleak satire set in the near future, in which the major powers of the world, East and West, aligned and non-aligned, recognize the possibility of a major world war within our lifetime and try to forestall it by channelling man’s aggressive instincts in a more controllable manner. They do this by forming an International Commission along the lines of the United Nations, dedicated to fighting a series of contests between teams of selected soldiers from each country. These competitions, which can be fought to the death, are called “Peace Games”, and are broadcast on global television via satellite - complete with sponsors and commercials. The film follows Game 256... The international group of officers watching Game 256 decide to eliminate a man and a woman from opposing teams who reach out to each other, because they decide that such forms of communication would be the gravest threat of all to the stability of the existing world-system.
Peter Watkins"THE FREETHINKER was originally conceived under the title ‘August Strindberg’ as a full-length feature film which I was commissioned to make by the Swedish Film Institute and the Swedish TV in the late 1970s. The result, a four-and-a-half hour film entitled ‘The Freethinker’, is based on the original manuscript, with many new scenes and important facets developed by the students themselves, who researched, directed, filmed, recorded, edited, costumed and principally organized the production and funding of this major pedagogical project! Among many aspects of the high standard of work by these students, was their research into social conditions in Sweden during the 1870s. ‘The Freethinker’ endeavours to show: a) how non-orthodox filmic language forms can expand our view of history, and our way of relating to people on the screen, and to each other. b) that there are ways to produce audio-visual material other than according to the rigidly centralized methods used by the MAVM. c) that, contrary to what we see on TV, there are potentially alternative processes for viewers as well - through which they can become individual participants instead of hierarchically dominated, passive receivers".

Peter WatkinsConsumer confidence is what makes the world go round. It is also a destructive force that will eventually bring the earth to ecological collapse. Yet there's hope: a new spectre is haunting the Western World - the spectre of Consumer Unconfidence. Why is the lifestyle of consumerism a source of such rage today? How come the privilege of buying goods does not automatically lead to happiness? Why all this emptiness despite our wealth?
