- DirectorGerry TroynaStarsCarlos AlomarDavid BowieSteve ElsonIn December 1983, David Bowie's massive 'Serious Moonlight ' tour arrived in Asia for three shows in Hong Kong, Bangkok and Singapore, virtually uncharted territory for major rock acts at the time.

- DirectorMartin WitzStarsTrevor J. RolingHanspeter MüllerMario ScarabelliIn 1943, Albert Hofmann discovered LSD. Fractions of a milligram are enough to turn our framework of time and space upside down.

Could it actually be possible to find a path to the core of our human existence by means of a chemical? Spirituality at the flick of a switch? Do the enigmatic effects of this drug really help us to better understand the human soul? Could LSD be an instrument of contemporary psychiatry? Of modern brain research?

- DirectorFrank RipplohStarsFrank RipplohBernd BroaderupOrpha TerminFrank Ripploh is a rascal: he is a shaggy-haired, bearded teacher who is gay and has a very active sex life plus an interest in making films. He keeps his personal life separate from his personal life, though sometimes he corrects student papers in public toilets as he waits to score. He cruises constantly. One evening, he meets Bernd and they become lovers. Bernd is attentive and caring, but Frank gets bored with him and continues his polymorphous perverse ways. How long will Bernd and Frank tolerate each other's habits, and how long can Frank keep his sexual orientation outside of the classroom? Things "come to a head" (no pun intended) during Berlin's annual Queen's Ball and the morning after.
- DirectorAlan J. PakulaStarsMaggie SmithTimothy BottomsDon Jaime de Mora y AragónAmerican Walter Elbertson (Timothy Bottoms), in his late teens, is feeling lost within his family of overachievers. Thirtysomething Englishwoman Lila Fisher (Dame Maggie Smith) is emotionally repressed. The two meet on their respective vacations in Spain when, on the spur of the moment, Walter decides to ditch his overly-regimented cycling-tour group and join the bus tour-group of which Lila is a member. They hardly speak to each other during the first few days, and when they do, they make each other nervous, since each is scared of life. Despite their fears of life, or largely because of it, they enter into a friendship that blossoms into a romance, however rocky the road to that romance is. Out of circumstance, they abandon the bus tour and travel together through Spain on their own, together. Their relationship is put to the test of outside scrutiny when they meet and have an extended stay with a Spanish Duke (Don Jaime de Mora y Aragón).
