- Single frame bursts of material divided into four themes: city, window, mountains and people. A visual punctuation of time coordinated with a soundscape recording.
- The poet dreams a maiden's bubbles through edifices of forest and eclectic contagion. Yet another extraordinary work from filmmaker/animator/artist Lawrence Jordan that cleverly repurposes and rearranges pre-existing materials, crafting a compelling (albeit brief) narrative out of otherwise unrelated images. Do not be alarmed by what you see (or do not see). POET'S DREAM opens in darkness. Nearly a minute of music elapses over black leader before we witness the dreamer, dreaming. Your patience is rewarded.
- An experimental film in which two panelists, dressed up like pandas, discuss the sale of plums.
- A man describes problems with his TV while captions for his dialogue obscure most of the image.
- A ship has just returned from Operation Mosaic, the first British Nuclear tests in the South Atlantic. Onboard, a mutineer (Evets) has just escaped from his cell and is looking for food in the ship's Galley. There, he encounters The Caterer (Smith), who has been serving up food since Nelson's time. Ron complains of the conditions on board "These are worse conditions than in Nelsons time", the Caterer responds, "In Nelsons time there were no conditions!" The confrontation spirals into disconcertingly vertiginous realms as the two try to disembark.
