With over two years of investigation, including the collection of a million and a half words of interview transcript, 'Standard Operating Procedure', from director Errol Morris, is the story behind the infamous photographs taken by US soldiers in Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison. Not as interesting or revelatory as you might hope, and hamstrung as Morris is by the fact that most of those interviewed aren't that bright or able to verbalise why they did what they did, and are only clear that they were hun find out more...

An artful documentary about the life of Daniel Johnson, singer/songwriter, artist, cartoonist and general artistic genius, but a man sadly afflicted with a severe mental illness that makes him totally self-delusional and an occasional danger to both himself and others. Daniel, raised in a Christian fundamentalist family in deepest West Virginia, amongst many of his fantasies, sees Devils everywhere, and with his overblown self-importance, not helped by his legions of admirers, vying with his low find out more...

Easter. Port Talbot is in a battle for its life. Authoritarian forces have taken over and the town is in thrall to ICU, a sinister and merciless corporation depleting the town of its resources with scant regard for the residents.

A fascinating, humane and immensely sad documentary that observes, through the eyes of both Palestinians and Isrealis, the huge concrete wall rising between the two peoples, slicing through a landscape of immense historical significance and effectively imprisoning both nations. Simone Bitton uses her unique dual Arabic-Jewish identity to draw from the people on opposing sides of the wall not vitriol, but resignation, confusion and humanity. find out more...

Like, have you ever really looked at the back of your hand? 'What the Bleep Do We Know' indeed... If this sugar-coated paddling pool of a film is anything to go by, not bleeping much. Never has such an infinitely fascinating and perplexing subject been made to feel so like a shampoo advert, and never has The Unifying Theory of Everything ever seemed so far away, or so unappetising. Boo. find out more...

A rather serious and tedious look at Tibetan Buddhist ritual in Bodh Gaya, India and, more interestingly, adherents gathering to circle Mount Kailash. Lots of ambient orange and red colours. find out more...

A rather ridiculous documentary in which Morgan Spurlock visits Egypt, Morocco, Israel, the Palestinian territories, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and Pakistan all in the name of tracking down the great jihadist himself. He concludes that the people in these countries are, just like himself and the audience, ordinary people, not fiendish terrorists. Unfortunately Spurlock is no Michael Moore when it comes to do doing populist liberal politics, enuff said. find out more...
