On November 4, 1979, Iranian student activists stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking over 60 Americans hostage. What was planned as a 48-hour sit-in to protest American imperialism, ballooned into an international crisis and 24/7 media event that would last 444 days. With never-before-seen archival footage and revelatory new interviews with the American hostages and Iranian hostage-takers alike, the series is a gripping chronicle of one of the most dramatic international deadlocks in American history, a deep dive into the geo-political history that led to the crisis, and an exploration of the political fallout that reverberates today. close

It is a strange coincidence that almost all unusual stories, whether they are biblical miracles or, for example, paranormal phenomena, contain one thing in common. At the crucial moment, people either fall asleep or wake up. Perhaps behind this lies one phenomenon, which quite unnoticed for us had a huge impact on the entire history and culture of human civilization. A phenomenon that almost no one knows about.
The film “The Phase” is a completely new look at how the paranormal abilities of a person work. Viewers are invited to reflect on such mystical phenomena as lucid dreams or astral projection, which had a large-scale, albeit hidden, influence on what is happening in society, acting as instruments of religious institutions and powerful powers.
After following the thoughts of the authors of the film “Phase”, find out how close modern people came to revealing their dormant abilities. close

No actual footage was shot for the project, which instead consists entirely of outtakes, commercials, strips of undeveloped film, Academy leader, and other filmic castoff material, creating a seemingly endless stream of newsreel and stock footage. It was the longest film ever made at the time of its release, but has since been superseded by many other films." close
