Alan Davie

Scots-born Davie’s work has gained him international recognition. The world of his paintings is a mystic one of signs and symbols, one that disturbs the primitive subconscious but yet is wholly modern. This insight into his art shows Davie immersed in his work at his homes in England and St. Lucia.

Chanel Chanel

The world of fashion has produced no greater designer and no more charismatic figure than Coco Chanel, who died in 1971. This film tells her fascinating rags-to-riches story and looks at the Chanel fashion house, flourishing under the auspices of top designer Karl Lagerfeld. The film contrasts the theatre of his large-scale shows with the comparative austerity of the old-style Chanel presentations and assesses the impact of the Chanel legacy on Lagerfeld’s work.
