Apalachee (1974)
Apalachee is a beautifully impressionistic study of a couple interacting with the foliage of the forest and the water of the stream. They touch and embrace each other, "neither making love nor not making love."

Abandoned House (2007)
Abandoned House is about a group of young people in Italy who exchange stories. The protagonist Maria listens to young men and women who report on sexual abuse and warped pleasure and she seems to feel the need to manipulate their vulnerability and rediscover her own lost love. Pictures of Tuscany and the sensual light within which the young naked figures in the film bathe serve to temper the darker aspects of the film with a tangible lyricism. In the end, the scars of abuse give way to the tenderness of the visual language itself.

Speedy Boys (1999)
Director James Herbert and editor Mark Jordan -- both visual artists who work in other media -- crafted this non-narrative look at Carter and Andy, two American artists summering in an unnamed Tuscany city. The young men discuss art and each other as they explore the city and its women, while the camera explores Carter and Andy.

Scars (1997)
A young man and woman trade stories about their scars - psychological, sexual and otherwise - in a variety of settings. Their relationship is at once immediate and immediately complicated by the depth of their revelations and their nakedness.

Porch Glider (1970)
A cyclical film, without sound, that goes from day to night and back again. First, from the porch glider, daytime movement is seen--children running and bicycles and cars going by. The nighttime scene is a long poetic and dream-like look at adolescent lovemaking.

Clove (1977)
“A nine-year-old boy is seen in a dark and sometimes sinister setting with an older boy, perhaps a brother, and a young woman who could be the mother. Bare light directed frontally on the nude bodies like a flash bulb adds a stark directness to the expressionism. In a climactic scene the nude boy lies at the feet of the woman, her swirling red satin dress caressing him in re-photographed dream motion”

Dearing II (1978)
Short film by James Herbert.

Jumbo Aqua (2000)
For this film, Herbert photographed the original 16mm material framed by frame with a 35mm camera. On screen, sensuality and sexuality, mythical and profane associations, motion and stationariness, framing, light, diaphragm and composition vie for supremacy. We see a boy in beautiful back lighting, the girl curling in the sunlight and we experience the existential and aesthetic inevitability of the physical contact. Herbert allows us to share the act of watching and paints his models like a portrait painter.

Rabbit Pix (2004)
An intoxicating chronicle of the romantic liaisons of a group of beautiful young men and women in their Mediterranean idyll. Living in a rundown rural Italian villa, there’s little for them to do but sit around and have sex with each other.

Night Horses (1975)
"Herbert's silent films are noted for their study of texture and motion and for his use of nude imagery. "Night Horses" is his longest and his most sensual film to date." (MOMA Cataologue, 1977)
