Turner Classic Movies ran three short student films by Jane Campion as one, this past Sunday (11/17/2019), which caught me off guard. (TCM listed them as films with start/stop times which also confused the DVR.) These interesting "slices of life in Australia" were:
"An Exercise In Discipline - Peel" (1982): A little boy throwing out an Orange peel triggers differing adult reactions.
"Passionless Moments" (1983): Ordinary people doing ordinary things gain insight, of sorts.
"A Girl's Own Story" (1986): A family's daughters experience Beatlemania, passionless sex, and fleeting popularity.
The main feature was "Sweetie" (1989): A mentally unbalanced daughter returns home and turns the household upside down for her sister and parents.

I haven't seen either film, but noticed them listed on TCM's Sunday late-night schedule as being the week's Imports offerings.
I'd have liked to check them out, but unfortunately downgraded my Comcast subscription the other week, and lost TCM (my fave channel) in the process.

When the local cable company announced: "Digital cable TV or Nothing!" I checked out what would and wouldn't be available with the basic, extended, and premium packages. I finally selected the second tier premium package to get both the Animal Planet and Turner Classic Movies. (This included HBO, Cinemax, and Showtime at the time. Cinemax is now available as a $15/month extra, which I didn't sign up for, due to similar offerings on HBO and Showtime.) I had noticed that the most of the premium and network channels don't show foreign language films, so TCM was it. (I've also come to loathe the "fullscreen" treatment of widescreen movies found on network and basic cable networks.) Some, if not all foreign language films beat out Hollyweird on a regular basis, be it a Russian teen tale, Japanese ghost story, Chinese or Filipino crime drama, or even British drama. As for Cinemax, last month they screened "In Bruges" and "Another Earth," two very-much-more-interesting-than-"the-usual-suspects." Oh well, Jane Campion made short masterpieces when she was at film school, and that's why I'm big on TCM.;)
