One of Chris Marker's earliest documentaries (1957) and probably one of his best, the hour-long Letter From Siberia mixes new and found footage with inventive commentary, and is especially memorable for a passage in which footage is repeated while the offscreen commentary transforms its meaning with a different ideological interpretation. It is perhaps the earliest example we have of Marker's inimitable essayistic manner, hence an indispensable work. close

The film The Other Chelsea: A Story from Donetsk is a Western journalist’s view of how and against the background of what social contradictions football is developing in modern Ukraine.
The authors of the film “Another Chelsea: A Story from Donetsk” go to Donetsk, a coal-mining region of Ukraine. Here most people work for a very small wage, going down to poorly equipped mines, while a small group of people make very big money.
No matter what political leanings you have, if you’re from Donetsk, you’re sure to be a fan of the football that Shakhtar Donetsk represents here. Billionaire Rinat Akhmetov is investing a lot of money in the club, which occupies a prominent place in European football. However, the sporting success, which comes largely thanks to funding from the oligarch, only highlights the real problems in the social and political life of the region. close

In his film “Calypso” is looking for Atlantis, the famous explorer of marine nature Jacques-Yves Cousteau lifts the veil over the mystery that worries scientists for more than the first millennium – the mystery of the sunken Atlantis.
While Philippe Cousteau explores the waters of the Bahamas and Azores, where, according to various versions, the sunken continent was located, Jacques Cousteau seeks an answer in the Aegean Sea. He surveys the northern coast of Crete, and then goes to the deserted island of Santorini, trying to connect the ancient legend of Atlantis with the once-major volcanic eruption. close

Beginning its tumultuous journey as an ominous sandstorm in Senegal, heading west across the Atlantic to toss enormous ships and waves topsy-turvy, then crashing into the jungles of the Caribbean, we live inside this hurricane, and it is truly awesome, scary and incredible. Ants, lizards, bats, frogs, horses, homeless men, rivers, ocean reefs, the US Gulf coast - all bend before the power of this monsoon turned magnificent. We see it from space, we see it through the eyes of animals, from the operations' rooms of the emergency agencies meant to warn us and help us cope - and we see it from the ground as it explodes and unleashes its fury upon us. close

For centuries, people have singled out the most outstanding creations of the architectural genius of man and called them “wonders of the world”. Currently, the “modern” seven wonders of the world are officially recognized: the Colosseum in Rome, the Great Wall of China, the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, the Taj Mahal in India, Machu Picchu in Peru, Chichen Itza in Mexico and Petra in Jordan.
However, limiting the world's "miracles" to the whole family seems too narrow, because there are many interesting things in the world. The series will show 100 wonders of the world, making a journey around the globe to places that amaze the imagination. close

What is it, that makes our world so wonderful, yet incomprehensible at the same time? That enables new life to emerge in places that appear unsuitable to support life? How do natural wonders originate? Which forces are necessary, in order to enable flora and fauna to develop in the respective locations we find them in today? For more than 2 years, the film crew of this production travelled through six continents and from natural wonder to natural wonder. Always on the trail of the connections between unique habitats for flora and fauna and the structures of ocean currents, geological formations and climate zones. In doing so, never-before-seen 3D images originated of the most different regions and animals species. close

HOMO SAPIENS is visionary documentarian Nikolaus Geyrhalter's exploration of the finiteness and fragility of human existence, the end of the industrial age, and what it means to be a human being.

Comprised of a succession of eerily depopulated, dystopian landscapes from across the world, HOMO SAPIENS offers an at once mesmerizing and chilling vision of what a posthuman future might look like. close
