"Kon-Tiki" was the name of a wooden raft used by six Scandinavian scientists, led by Thor Heyerdahl, to make a 101-day journey from South America to the Polynesian Islands. The purpose of the expedition was to prove Heyerdal's theory that the Polynesian Islands were populated from the east- specifically Peru- rather than from the west (Asia) as had been the theory for hundreds of years. Heyerdahl made a study of the winds and tides in the Pacific, and by simulating conditions as closely as possible to those he theorized the Peruvians encountered, set out on the voyage. close

Movie Victor Kramer "Snow show 3D" is actually a fairy tale told by the famous Russian clown Slava Polunin.
This show with the participation of Ivan Volkov, Robert Sarallov and other wonderful artists will not leave anyone indifferent: someone will perceive the picture as a lyrical memory of his childhood, someone – as a piercing tale of real loneliness; someone will simply laugh from the heart at the yellow clown in red shaggy slippers, constantly repeating his famous “Asisi”, and someone will cry at how small a person is compared to the bottomless universe. close

Likely in June 1897, a group of people are standing along the platform of a railway station in La Ciotat, waiting for a train. One is seen coming, at some distance, and eventually stops at the platform. Doors of the railway-cars open and attendants help passengers off and on. Popular legend has it that, when this film was shown, the first-night audience fled the café in terror, fearing being run over by the "approaching" train. This legend has since been identified as promotional embellishment, though there is evidence to suggest that people were astounded at the capabilities of the Lumières' cinématographe. close
