Shot in documentary style from the perspective of an almost alien observer, the film is an exploration of the ravaged oil fields of post-Gulf War Kuwait. An effective companion to his earlier film Fata Morgana, Herzog again perceives the desert as a landscape with its own voice, as he glides over seas of oil, geyser-like infernos, monstrous smoke plumes and ashen roadways. With musical accompaniment by Wagner, Prokofiev and Pärt to boot, he observes the soot-covered creatures allured by the blaze. close

In the early morning hours of May 1, 1960, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev was awakened by a phone call. KGB Chairman Shelepin said that the American plane violated Soviet airspace and was moving from the border with Afghanistan to the northwest, in the direction of Moscow. Anti-aircraft missiles of the Soviet air defense can not reach the spy plane. On this day in the sky, at an altitude of 20 kilometers, bizarrely intertwined the fates of the main characters: American spy pilot Powers and Soviet pilots Aivazyan, Safronov and Mentyukov. This day was one of the turning points of the recent history of the twentieth century. close

Five broken cameras – and each one has a powerful tale to tell. Embedded in the bullet-ridden remains of digital technology is the story of Emad Burnat, a farmer from the Palestinian village of Bil’in, which famously chose nonviolent resistance when the Israeli army encroached upon its land to make room for Jewish colonists. Emad buys his first camera in 2005 to document the birth of his fourth son, Gibreel. Over the course of the film, he becomes the peaceful archivist of an escalating struggle as olive trees are bulldozed, lives are lost, and a wall is built to segregate burgeoning Israeli settlements. close
