Phillip Glass'ın unutulmaz müzikleriyle belleklere çakılan Koyaanisqatsi, görüntülere dair bir festivali çağrıştırıyor. 1983 yılı itibariyle devrim niteliğinde olan film hayatın imgesel dengesine(ve dengesizliğine) yakılan bir ağıt niteliğinde. Görüntüden görüntüye geçerek, sonunda tüm görüntülerin tek bir görüntünün yansımasından ibaret olduğunu ispatlamaya çalışan film, tabiat bilimleriyle ve sosyal-antropolojiyle bağlarını sıkılaştırıyor.

Tabu, tüm sessiz film yönetmenleri arasında belki de en büyüğü olan F.W. Murnau’nun son filmidir. Murnau’nun büyüklüğü stüdyo hilelerindeki başarısının yanı sıra Tabudaki gibi belgesel doğalcılığından kaynaklanıyordu. Bu çok yönlülük Almanya’da ve ABD’de çektiği filmler arasında köprü kurar. Doğal mekanlarda çekilen ve kesinlikle ne Almanca ne de İngilizce konuşulan Tabu, bu iki yeteneğin farklı yüzlerini sergiler. "Cennet" ve "Kayıp Cennet" şeklinde adlandırılan iki "bölüm"den oluşan basit senaryo, erotik bir aşk hikayesini konu alır. Genç bir kadın, köyün yaşlısı (Murnau’nun en ürkütücü kıyamet habercilerinden biridir) tarafından yeni ölen kutsal bakirenin yerine geçmek üzere seçilince cinsel tabu haline gelir. "Uygarlığın" (özellikle de paranın) ada sakinlerinin masum hazcılığı üzerindeki yozlaştırıcı gücü de yan tema olarak işlenir.

Martin and Hazel Quarrier are small-town fundamentalist missionaries sent to the jungles of South America to convert the Indians. Their remote mission was previously run by the Catholics, before the natives murdered them all. They are sent by the pompous Leslie Huben, who runs the missionary effort in the area but who seems more concerned about competing with his Catholic 'rivals' than in the Indians themselves. Hazel is terrified of the Indians while Martin is fascinated. Soon American pilot Lewis Moon joins the Indian tribe but is attracted by Leslie's young wife, Andy. Can the interaction of these characters and cultures, and the advancing bulldozers of civilization, avoid disaster?
The causes underlying the collapse of civilizations are usually traced to overuse of resources. As we write this, the world is reeling from economic chaos, peak oil, climate change, environmental degradation, and political turmoil. Every day, the headlines re-hash stories of scandal and betrayal of the public trust. We don't have to make outraged demands for the end of the current global system - it seems to be coming apart already. But acts of courage, compassion and altruism abound, even in the most damaged places. By documenting the resilience of the people hit hardest by war and repression, and the heroism of those coming forward to confront the crisis head-on, END:CIV illuminates a way out of this all-consuming madness and into a saner future. Backed by Jensen's narrative, the film calls on us to act as if we truly love this land. The film trips along at a brisk pace, using music... Written by Franklin Lopez
At the time of Nero, the Empire is at the height of its power, but Rome, where a million inhabitants live, is afraid of its enemies, of foreigners, of barbarians. Rome is afraid of the Tyrant and of its own power. And all these fears seem to crystallize in that of fire, more than anything else feared in this megalopolis that so often catches fire. In 64 A.D. the most terrible fire that the city has ever known broke out. It is said that it was set on the orders of Nero, in order to overwhelm the Christians who were accused of it. The watchmen, Celer and Theseus, intervene at the risk of their lives. This fictional documentary tells the story of the adventures of these two "firemen" in Rome during the Empire. An astonishing journey through time, the story of the life of men: customs, family, lifestyle, politics, education, leisure.
It was perhaps the most spectacular flourishing of imagination and achievement in recorded history. In the Fourth and Fifth Centuries BC, the Greeks built an empire that stretched across the Mediterranean from Asia to Spain.

This series, narrated by Liam Neeson, recounts the rise, glory, demise and legacy of the empire that marked the dawn of Western civilization. The story of this astonishing civilization is told through the lives of heroes of ancient Greece. The latest advances in computer and television technology rebuild the Acropolis, recreate the Battle of Marathon and restore the grandeur of the Academy, where Socrates, Plato and Aristotle forged the foundation of Western thought.

Why did the Roman Empire, which dominated Europe and the Mediterranean for five centuries, inexorably weaken until it disappeared? Archaeologists, specialists in ancient pathologies and climate historians are now accumulating clues converging on the same factors: a powerful cooling and pandemics. A disease, whose symptoms described by the Greek physician Galen are reminiscent of those of smallpox, struck Rome in 167, soon devastating its army. At the same time, a sudden climatic disorder that was underway as far as Eurasia caused agricultural yields to plummet and led to the westward migration of the Huns. Plagued by economic and military difficulties, attacked from all sides by barbarian tribes, the Roman edifice gradually cracked.
