Ez az "érzelmekkel teli...különlegesen izgalmas" film (Claudia Puig, USA Today) az USA talán legrangosabb filmfesztiválján, a Sundance-en szenzációs sikert aratott. Brit Marling, a "gyönyörű, ragyogó és bátor" (Associated Press) kezdő színésznő valamint a Lost - Eltűntek sorozatban milliók kedvencévé vált William Mapother két olyan embert alakít, akiknek a sorsát egy tragikus baleset köti össze. A háttérben a történelem legnagyobb tudományos felfedezése zajlik: egy a földivel párhuzamos második világ létezésére derül fény. A Felettünk a Föld tökéletes sci-fi (The Hollywood Reporter) - ravaszul váratlan befejezésére sokáig emlékezni fog minden néző.

Létezik a végtelen? Megtapasztalhatjuk-e a végtelent? Ebben az animációs filmben, amelyet 10 ország művészei készítettek, tudósok és matematikusok a végtelen és annak az univerzumra gyakorolt észbontó következményei után kutatnak a világ legmodernebb eszközeivel.

Stephen Hawking, a világhírű fizikus-csillagász tudós ugyanannak a tanszéknek a vezetője Cambridge-ben, amely valamikor Sir Isaac Newtoné volt. Teljesítményét Einsteinnel veti össze a tudományos közvélemény. Hawking az Univerzum keletkezését és megszűnését, a fekete lyukakat, a teret, az időt, a téridőt kutatja. Tudományos nézeteit az e portréfilm címével azonos, óriási nemzetközi sikert elért könyvében is kifejtette. A filmben barátai, családjai, munkatársai elbeszéléséből bontakozik ki a tudós gondolkodásmódja és élettörténete.

Vajon hogyan született meg az univerzum, milyen folyamatok játszódtak le kezdetekben, milyen jövő vár rá, hogyan ér majd egyszer véget a létezése? Többek között ezekre a kérdésekre próbál választ találni Az Univerzum története, amely szól tudományról, lélekről, születésről és halálról, a nagy kozmoszról és bolygónk rendszeréről is. Terrence Malick hihetetlenül látványos, filozófiai utazásra invitálja a nézőt a Föld múltjának, eredetének felfedezésére, miközben az emberiség jövőben betöltött szerepére is kíváncsi. A rendező szándéka szerint a film egyfajta tudományos kronológiája a Földnek, melyben a leglátványosabb változásoktól egészen a legapróbbakig megmutat mindent, mindezt lélegzetelállító, páratlanul lenyűgöző természeti felvételek segítségével.

Jonas Elrod woke up one day with the ability to see and hear angels, demons and ghosts. Filmed over the course of three years, this documentary follows Jonas and his girlfriend as they try to understand the phenomenon.

How's it all gonna end? This experience takes us on a journey to the end of time, trillions of years into the future, to discover what the fate of our planet and our universe may ultimately be. We start in 2019 and travel exponentially through time, witnessing the future of Earth, the death of the sun, the end of all stars, proton decay, zombie galaxies, possible future civilizations, exploding black holes, the effects of dark energy, alternate universes, the final fate of the cosmos - to name a few.

The shadows of screams climb beyond the hills. It has happened before. But this will be the last time. The last few sense it, withdrawing deep into the forest. They cry out into the black, as the shadows pass away, into the ground.

A documentary chronicling the history of the telescope from the time of Galileo. Featuring interviews with leading scientists discussing Galileo's first use of the telescope to the latest discoveries in cosmology.

At 7:14 am on 30 June 1908, the largest explosion recorded in human history to date reverberated throughout our planet. The force of the explosion was two thousand times that of the Hiroshima bomb. A woodland area the size of Luxembourg was eradicated in the Siberian taiga. This incident is recorded in history books as the Tunguska catastrophe. To this day, internationally renowned scientists of various disciplines argue about the causes of this disastrous explosion. The documentary discusses the latest and most controversial insights of these leading scientists. It identifies the reasons why Tunguska has evolved into a phenomenon and points out the curious results produced by this mythical event in culture and economy.

Shot on 16mm celluloid across parts of New Zealand and Samoa, interdisciplinary artist Sam Hamilton’s ten-part experimental magnum opus makes thought-provoking connections between life on Earth and the cosmos, and, ultimately, art and science. Structured around the ten most significant celestial bodies of the Milky Way, Apple Pie’s inquiry begins with the furthest point in our solar system, Pluto, as a lens back towards our home planet and the ‘mechanisms by which certain aspects of scientific knowledge are digested, appropriated and subsequently manifest within the general human complex’. Christopher Francis Schiel’s dry, functional narration brings a network of ideas about our existence into focus, while Hamilton’s visual tableaux, as an extension of his multifaceted practice, veer imaginatively between psychedelic imagery and performance art.

Although the mountain volcano Mauna Kea last erupted around 4,000 years ago, it is still hot today, the center of a burning controversy over whether its summit should be used for astronomical observatories or preserved as a cultural landscape sacred to the Hawaiian people. For five years the documentary production team Nā Maka o ka 'Āina ("the eyes of the land") captured on video the seasonal moods of Mauna Kea's unique 14,000-foot summit, the richly varied ecosystems that extend from sea level to alpine zone, the legends and stories that reveal the mountain's geologic and cultural history, and the political turbulence surrounding the efforts to protect the most significant temple in the islands: the mountain itself.

A documentary telling the remarkable human story of Stephen Hawking. For the first time, the personal archives and the testimonies of his closest family reveal both the scale of Hawking's triumphs and the real cost of his disability and success.

That might seem a bizarre statement, coming a century after Einstein showed that gravity is the result of matter warping space and time around it.

It is the birth of neutrino astronomy. For the first time, astrophysicists can detect extra-terrestrial neutrinos in ice on the South Pole. The fundamental questions of science remain unanswered., how did the universe come to be? What keeps our world together? The newly discovered extra-galactic neutrinos may hold the keys to answering these questions.

Lawrence Krauss gives a talk on our current picture of the universe, how it will end, and how it could have come from nothing. Krauss is the author of many bestselling books on Physics and Cosmology, including "The Physics of Star Trek."

A group of renowned cosmologists and astrophysicist are in search of a realistic picture of the universe. Their research and observational discoveries point in a direction diametrically opposed to the predominant Bog Bang theory - this leads to a series of sociological situations that verge on the extreme dogma controls wielded against Copernicus and Galileo in the past; only now against our protagonists of the 21st century. This is a controversial science documentary touching on the nerve of everything astronomers and cosmologist claim they know about the universe today. - Written by Meyers, Randall

John Dobson, an 89 year old with a white ponytail and knack for comedy, is the inventor of the Dobsonian telescope mount, which revolutionized astronomy by making large, inexpensive telescopes and deep space observing available to amateur astronomers around the world.
