When a cross-section of seven-year-olds were interviewed for 7 Up in 1964 it was immediately evident that their social backgrounds influenced their attitudes towards life. While the upper class children were confident and self-assured, those from middle and working class backgrounds were resigned to a challenging life of hard work. This premise was put to the test every seven years when the same group were interviewed about the progression of their lives. 49 years in the making, the changes that occurred to the original 14 make for fascinating television and are in many ways the stories of all our lives. From success and disappointment, marriage and childbirth, to poverty and illness, nearly every facet of life has been captured on film. Now, at the age of 56, the group are once more brought together and, with the benefit of hindsight, assess whether their lives have been ruled by circumstance or self-determination. close

Seven Ages of Starlight takes us on a journey through the life of stars Stars are at the heart of all life. Humans and all other life forms on our planet - from bacteria in the top of our atmosphere to the creatures in the darkest depths of our oceans - depend on our very own star, the sun. Much of the matter that makes up the known universe comes from stars and is put into motion by their enormous gravity. Even our planet and our bodies are made from stardust forged in the thermonuclear furnace of brightly burning stars. close

On 13th December 1974, Slava Kurilov jumped off a Soviet cruise ship in the Philippine Sea. People will consider his journey to the shore — over three days of swimming in complete solitude in the middle of the ocean — a betrayal, a defection, an act of bravery, a protest...but for Kurilov that jump was one thing only — a leap into total freedom. close

The cyber age is creating a new sexual landscape. While doing research for the film, we had intimate and candid conversations with kids in middle school classrooms, suburban shopping malls, nightclubs, college dorms, and even conducted an informal roundtable during a high school house party. While chronicling trends among small town and big city kids, we discovered this: Having pubic hair is considered unattractive and “gross.” Most youngsters know someone who has emailed or texted a naked photo of themselves. Many kids have accidentally or intentionally had their first introduction to sex be via hardcore online porn. Facebook has created an arena where kids compete to be “liked” and constantly worry about what image to portray – much of what was once private is now made public. And the list goes on. close

Where do images come from? This disturbing and essential question is posed by Philippe Grandrieux, and he already imposed it on himself the start, via Sombre (1999) up to the portrait recently devoted to Masao Adachi (FID 2011). From where, then? Maybe from the depths behind our eyes, ungraspable visions, night in suspension, promise of the end of an eclipse, between dream and nightmare. This is the start (and in truth the programme) of White Epilepsy. In a darkness barely broken by light, a mass advances: a nude back, in a long shot entirely centred on the shoulders. close

This is an epic tale of two gangs, like The Jets and The Sharks. But Girl and Chocolate aren't even gangs. Some of them act tough and some of them act like babies. But they are even more unlike the Jets and The Sharks in that they aren't even battling each other for territory. They really don't know what the hell they are doing. They don't have a feud, most of them really like each other so that is another thing they don't have in common with the Jets and the Sharks. What they do have in common with The Jets and The Sharks is they love to dance. And when I say dance, I mean SKATE. And when I say SKATE, I mean really good. From the directors that brought you Mouse, Yeah Right and Fully Flared, another chapter in this tale with no plot, no ending but beautiful inner battles acted out on a little board with wheels. close

History has many more white spots. This is assured by the creators of the documentary film “Forbidden themes of history: In search of Aratta” – the Foundation for the development of science “III millennium”, engaged in solving alternative history. Armed with extremely fragmented historical facts, they went to Turkish Anatolia to put all the evidence in its place.
About the mysterious land of Aratta there are many rumors and legends. The expedition set itself the goal of understanding another taboo topic of history and trying to find traces of the ancient civilization of Aratta, whose existence is questioned by official science. The participants of the campaign were sure that in those places where the Hittite kingdom and the cities of Urarta were once located, in the center and east of Turkey, signs of the presence of a much more ancient, highly developed civilization should be sought. And they found them. close

To make an analysis of the past years, so that after studying its results to sum up and chart a course for the future, is peculiar not only to a person - for the country it is, of course, much more important. The Russian reality is that the past 90s of the 20th and the beginning of the new century are already changing our present: the country received those conditions of existence, the foundation of which was then laid with the approval or “default” of the entire people.

The Bolshevik-built kingdom collapsed 20 years ago, many myths about the revolution dissipated, but the debate still persists about how Lenin and a handful of comrades managed to completely upend the whole life of Russia on an autumn night in 1917. In February 1917, the 300-year-old monarchy fell. The Provisional Government and the Soviets began to fight each other, clearing the way for a third power. At that time no one knew that the third force, the Bolsheviks, was the only revolutionary party to the end, that Lenin was the future leader of the world proletariat, and that October 17 was a historical inevitability. close
