Jonathan Meades on Jargon

In this provocative television essay, writer and broadcaster Jonathan Meades turns his forensic gaze on that modern phenomenon that drives us all up the wall - jargon. In a wide-ranging programme he dissects politics, the law, football commentary, business, the arts, tabloid-speak and management consultancy to show how jargon is used to cover up, confuse and generally keep us in the dark. He contrasts this with the world of slang, which unlike jargon actually gets to the heart of whatever it's talking about even if it does offend along the way. With plenty of what is called 'strong language', Meades pulls no punches in slaying the dragon of jargon.

Drag Heals

RuPaul brought Drag Race into the homes of millions and made the once taboo art form mainstream. This newfound renaissance has inspired a new generation to explore the art of drag and challenge the constructs of gender. While RuPaul’s Drag Race is a competition, Drag Heals is a documentary journey that follows men who have never worn heels or make-up but have always dreamed of letting their inner drag queen out. These men (and aspiring queens!) enter Canada’s first ever Drag class to explore how to create a compelling drag persona based on personal experience. For most, this is akin to a second coming out process. The culmination of the workshops will be a public performance where they will face down their fears of stepping into the limelight. Drag is typically viewed from a distance; Drag Heals gives unparalleled access to the creation of a performance that is more than just your average lip sync.

In the docuseries *Nog één week* (One More Week), we follow children in the run-up to a major event that will change their lives. Each episode focuses on one of the children, following him or her in their daily life during the week leading up to the exciting event. Together with parents and friends, they look forward to it. Sometimes it is fun, sometimes exciting, sometimes sad, sometimes difficult. How do they cope? What do they find difficult, and what do they not? In this way, you see that every child experiences something in his or her own way.

Limbo

Lidia and Wally meet when she buys him his house. They fall in love, but Lidia lives in Madrid, Spain, and Wally in Neuquen, Argentina. Their Skype conversations are interrupted by glitches that happen in Lidia's computer. Wally begins to feel that Lidia is not quite right: she talks about presences in the house, voices talking in other rooms, people that -whenever the conversation is interrupted by glitches- want to hurt her. Soon Rodrigo appears in the story: he's Lidia's obsessed and stalker ex-boyfriend. Is he the mysterious presence, or is there something else lurking in the shadows?
