Performance film Pacific 3-2-1-Zero dramatically records the iconic work by renowned music/performance collective From Scratch, devised in 1981 as a protest against nuclear testing and waste dumping in the Pacific. Group leader/artist Phil Dadson, with players Wayne Laird and James McCarthy perform on invented and other instruments — from PVC pipes to biscuit-tins — arrayed in the shape of the peace symbol. Director Gregor Nicholas layers this rhythmic tour-de-force with facts and footage of nuclear testing.

Having penetrated the Balkans in the fourteenth century, conquered Constantinople in the fifteenth, and reached the gates of Vienna in the sixteenth, the Ottoman Empire long struck fear into European hearts.
Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
