Nicholas Baum travels through Holland, Spain and Portugal in search of clues to the mystically fascinating paintings of the forerunner of Surrealism, the medieval artist Hieronymus Bosch (circa 1450-1516). His contemporaries accused him of heresy, alchemy, witchcraft and the use of hallucinogens, causing hellish visions. The world of Bosch is still mysterious and full of secrets. Bosch is a 15th-century Dutch painter whose real name is Hieronymus Van Aken. This name has always been surrounded by a halo of mystery and mystery, too little reliable data about the life of the artist, too unusual and peculiar his work. For today’s viewer, the perception of Bosch’s paintings is complicated by ignorance of medieval symbolism. The combination of things and objects, which seem ridiculous or accidental to us, for the contemporaries of the master had a very specific meaning. For the sake of revealing the inner meaning of what is happening, Bosch resorts to the language of allegory. None of his works have been dated. The world of this artist is such that Bosch’s works continue to delight ordinary visitors to museums who simply love art. close

With unprecedented access, this documentary looks into the hidden world of one of Russia's most impenetrable and remote institutions - a maximum security prison exclusively for murderers. Deep inside the land of the gulags, this is the end of the line for some of Russia's most dangerous criminals - 260 men who have collectively killed nearly 800 people. The film delves deep into the mind and soul of some of these prisoners. In brutally frank and uncensored interviews the inmates speak of their crimes, life and death, redemption and remorselessness, insanity and hope. The film tracks them though their unrelenting days over several months, lifting the veil on one of Russia's most secretive subcultures to reveal what happens when a man is locked up in a tiny cell for 23 hours every day, for life. A startling insight into inscrutable minds and the forbidding world they have been condemned to. (Storyville) close

Documentary series (United Kingdom, 2004), 7 episodes.
Terry Jones, as always incendiary and humorous, talks about the inhabitants of medieval Britain - from peasant to king - their way of life and views.
Episode 1. Peasant. About how the plague epidemic led to the enrichment of peasants and their uprising.
Episode 2. Monk. The life of a monk, protected from the vain world, seems to be an ideal of simplicity and piety. The main task of the monk is prayer and work. But the medieval church could not avoid the influx of ministers pursuing their own personal selfish goals.
Episode 3. Minstrel. Being a minstrel in the Middle Ages meant more than just playing and singing. Minstrels had to play many roles: entertain the owners, raise the attack of soldiers, even spy. These medieval cheerleaders were not as carefree as they seem.
Episode 4. Knight. Knighthood is the personification of courage, loyalty to duty, nobility towards a woman. Were these the knights of the Middle Ages? What was knighthood in its heyday?
Episode 5. Alchemist. The Middle Ages are considered a time of ignorance and superstition: the Church suppressed the desire for knowledge, medicine killed rather than cured, and people did not know what shape the Earth was. But what really happened? Maybe we just don't know the past well?
Episode 6. Robber. Legends have brought to us stories of noble forest robbers who personified the hope of justice for the medieval poor. Was the law so inaccessible to the common man? What was the legal system in medieval England?
Episode 7. King. There are many dubious facts in history. What do we know about medieval kings? Richard the Lionheart is a hero, connoisseur of art, Christian. Richard II is a narcissistic tyrant suffering from megalomania. Richard III is an evil and demonic hunchback. Is that true? The film attempts to dispel legends and myths created over the centuries.
Episode 8. Girl. About what was supposed to be a girl in the Middle Ages, and about the principles of morality that should be observed by young women. close

Down to the Earth’s Core takes viewers from the sidewalk to the centre of the planet in one epic unbroken shot. Using spectacular computer generated imagery; the camera smashes through almost 9 000 kilometres of solid rock to explore the hidden world beneath our feet. Experience an earthquake inside the San Andreas Fault, blast out of a volcano, encounter bizarre cave-dwelling creatures and enter caves full of giant crystals – all inside planet Earth. As the camera lowers into Earth's bosom, the planet’s extraordinary story, is laid bare layer by layer, showing how prehistoric forests became modern-day fuel, witnessing the dinosaur’s cataclysmic death, and watching as stalactites form and gold grows before our eyes. Deeper, beyond the reach of any mine, any drill, we find wonders beyond imagination: towering molten metal tornadoes, forests of solid iron crystals, until we reach the strangest, least understood place on the planet – the core. close
