- An ancient fire and fertility ritual in Sweden, still practiced today is set to the music and theme of the legendary 1913 Igor Stravinsky's score, for the Nijinsky ballet, Le Sacre Du Printemps. Ancient rituals of Viking and pagan traditions were fascinating to artist and folklorist, Nicolas Roerich who designed the sets and costumes (many of which are in the Dance Museum in Stockholm.) He also collaborated on the libretto. Images from the past together in a collage of photographs, drawings and early footage blaze together in the pagan night, Valborgsmassoafton celebration.

- An experimental documentary that takes world-building to an entirely new level, Rites of Spring showcases fragments of Iran's history before, during, and after the Revolution of 1979. It begins with scenes of daily life, working-class people, and extensive shots of farms and nature. When the Revolution hits the country, the new focus becomes demonstrations, leaders' preachings, and scenes of strife, revealing the constant fear and chaos that hover over the country. The birds that break out of their eggs toward the end signal an undeniably effective promise of a new beginning for a country that oscillates between revolution and war.
- Set during the dog days of summer, a group of teenage boys inhabit a makeshift bike part in a secluded wooded area of Toronto.

When their hidden world is breached by an outsider, anger, fear and misunderstanding lead to a violent outburst.

It is a one hour performance documentary, and was part of the BBC Christmas 2009 season.
- Performed by the world-renowned Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Peter Breiner, and recorded at BBC Television Centre, London, On Air will stream a performance of The Rite Of Spring by Igor Stravinsky from 7pm GMT on December 22 2022. A ballet and orchestral concert work first performed at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées on 29 May 1913. Containing many novel features for its time, including experiments in tonality, metre, rhythm, stress and dissonance, the music achieved equal if not greater recognition as a concert piece and is widely considered to be one of the most influential musical works of the 20th century, and is one of the most recorded works in the classical repertoire. Talking about the show, Ian Maclay - Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - explains "It was a wonderful opportunity to record the three great Stravinsky ballets and to have them presented in such an exciting and imaginative way. Working with On Air was a fantastic chance for us to continue on our journey to make orchestral music accessible for all, placing it at the heart of contemporary society."
- Enthusiastic young director Flori rehearses a fringe theatre production of Igor Stravinsky's revolutionary ballet "The Rite of Spring". She is dissatisfied with the performance of her much older soloist Helen who seems unable to accept the role of the female sacrifice who literally dances herself to death in an act of devotion. Flori therefore uses manipulating directing strategies to force Helen into her part as the victim. Thus, the reality of the play and the reality of the rehearsals begin to mix.

- Part music video, part tale of soul-searching and survival, 'The Rite of Spring: A Musical Odyssey' is a boundary-breaking film that culminates in the sacrificial destruction of a piano. The film weaves together a ferocious dueling piano performance of Igor Stravinsky's 35-minute masterwork with a narrative of existential awakening. Starting from traditional concert trappings, the protagonists are gradually sucked into a ritualistic spiral among dancers, insects, and hallucinatory worlds until they are faced with a naked reckoning in the ocean and an ancient piano ablaze in the desert. Conceived, produced, directed, performed, and edited by Greg Anderson and Elizabeth Joy Roe, 31-year-old Juilliard alumni and world-renowned pianists, Billboard chart-topping artists, and Emmy-nominated pioneers of the classical music video genre.
