"Cut Adrift" marks Anastasia Wlaschin-Wiest's directorial debut, delving into the educational challenges on England's Isle of Wight. Raised on the island, Anastasia witnessed the shortcomings of its education system, exacerbated by restructuring in 2011. Despite its proximity to the mainland, the island remains isolated, impacting young perspectives. With below-average results, school closures, and underfunding prevalent, Anastasia's documentary aims to spark discussion and drive positive change. Returning as a recent graduate, she interviews locals to understand the issues and propose solutions. "Cut Adrift" is a poignant call to action, urging for improved educational opportunities and broader horizons for the island's youth.

Island railways have a particular fascination, none more so than those on the Isle of Wight. In this programme, produced from films made by railway enthusiasts who visited the island from the 1950s to the present day, we present aspects of the changing face of the island s railways over the last forty years. We begin with John Laird s 1964 films of the steam railway in all its glory with the coverage of the lines to Ventnor and Cowes. This is contrasted with the scene in the 1950s as portrayed in rare colour films made in 1953 on the soon to be closed lines from Brading to Bembridge, Sandown to Merstone and Newport and from Newport to Freshwater. The final steam sequences filmed by Geoff Todd and Derek Norman show the last years of steam operation on the island and the preparations for electrification. The Isle of Wight s new tube trains are shown at first on trial on the mainland, looking quite incongruous at locations such as Clapham Junction.

Travelling by train along the English south coast is one of the best ways to experience and enjoy the great British countryside, combining popular resorts with beautiful scenery. Where the downs descend to the sea there are craggy headlands, sweeping bays and magnificent beaches. There is always plenty to see and the railway travels right through the heart of it all. Our journey will take us from Weymouth in Dorset, across Hampshire and then down to the Isle of Wight. We begin in the popular seaside town of Weymouth by sampling some of the many delights it has to offer. We then head to the historical town of Dorchester before turning east towards Bournemouth via Wool, Wareham Corfe Castle, Swanage and Poole. Bournemouth is the largest holiday resort on the south coast, and we take a look at some of the reasons why it reamins so popular. From Bournemouth we travel to Christchurch, Brockenhurst, Beaulieu, Lymington and across to Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight.

JEWS excavates a lost world of manners and ritual in home movies shot by several Chicago families from the 1920s through the 1940s. Much as in similar found footage soliloquies by Péter Forgács, Jay Rosenblatt and Ken Jacobs, director Roger Deutsch wrings unexpected pathos from mundane traces of the past. Children mug for the camera with dances of the day, upright mothers march their strollers up the avenue, men smoke, the family gathers around the table to light the candles. The bare title cannot help but raise the specter of contemporaneous events in Europe, lending an extra degree of urgency to the film's meditation on disappearance. - Max Goldberg
