　　Rebels on Pointe is the first-ever, cinéma vérité documentary film celebrating Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo -- the all male, drag ballet company founded over 40 years ago on the heels of New York's Stonewall riots. The company has performed in over 500 cities and 33 countries, and has a cult following around the world. The film juxtaposes exclusive, behind-the-scenes access and intimate, character-driven stories of its dancers, highlighted by amazing performances shot around the world. Rebels on Pointe ultimately celebrates our shared humanity through universal themes of identity, dreams, family, love, loss, determination and resilience... proving that a ballerina is not merely a woman dancing, but an act of revolution in a tutu.

脚尖上的反叛

主演：

　　Every summer, teenage girls from across Missouri spend a week building a government from the ground up. Coming from different ends of the political and socioeconomic spectrum, they all share a passion for reimagining the future of America. The filmmakers behind Boys State (T/F 2020) return to the world of teen politics to capture the 2022 program – the first time in history that Girls State and Boys State take place simultaneously on the same campus. With rumors of Roe v. Wade being overturned in the real world, the stakes feel higher than ever for these ambitious and dedicated young women. As the days unfold and rumblings from the Boys program make their way across campus, discontent begins to emerge over the disparities between the two. An exhilarating portrait of our political landscape and the pivotal issue of gender equality.

简介：

　　位于加拿大曼尼托巴省的城镇温尼伯，听来遥远陌生，在盖·马汀的掌镜下，却生成了乡愁的有机体。透过梦呓的旁白说书、迷幻写实的黑白光影，导演亲自带路，娓娓道来家乡的历史、自然与人文踪迹，以及谜样传说。建构故事与剪接纪实之余，导演对家乡的抒情神往与奇想，让影片依附着神秘和追忆穿越时空，恍如隔世却又亲密温馨。
　　现代, 加拿大 Manitoba 省 Winnipeg 市~ 导演 Guy Maddin 独坐在火车上, 正准备离开黑白色的家乡 Winnipeg, 和处处监管着他一举一动的母亲~ 一路上, 他在半梦半醒中忆述故乡的种种往事, 一些充满回忆的建筑物, 还有童年时与家人相处的点点滴滴~
　　评语
　　加拿大导演 Guy Maddin 最近几部电影都沾上一点自传气息, “Cowards Bend the Knees” (弱者无腰骨) [2003] 以自己为主角讲冰上曲棍球, 上一部长片 “Brand Upon the Brain!” (追忆少年狂) [2006] 仍充当主角诉说一个奇情侦探故事, 今次索性以自己的童年和家乡 Winnipeg 的历史为题, 拍出一部充满奇想的自传电影~ 又或者如映后摄影师兼监制 Jody Shapiro 及导演在访问中所言, 称之为一部 “幻想纪录片” (docu-fantasia) 或更加合适~
　　Guy Maddin 一向扮默片残片的新潮复古风格在这里依然处处可见, 不过这手法在此更成为一种实用而贴切的表现形式, 配合有如印象主义式的超快速剪接和导演本人不停喃喃自语的内心独白, 以表达主角 Guy Maddin (Darcy Fehr 饰) 半梦半醒的混乱思绪和复杂错乱的回忆片段~ 黑白菲林和残片朦胧不清的效果, 也正好切合长年严寒飘雪, 色彩单调的城市 Winnipeg 的风貌~
　　在 “My Winnipeg” 故事中反覆重现的种种元素, 简直像是心理分析理论的教材, 例如缠绕心头不去的童年往事, 儿子对母亲又爱又怕的矛盾关系~ 那些一闪即逝的字幕卡就如被抑压的旧记忆, 主角对河流交汇处和母亲双腿的迷恋, 就如他一直潜藏在心底的 fixation~
　　不过, 要是太严肃和理论性地分析这电影, 或会忽略这其实是一部非常有趣, 非常感人, 非常富创意, 刻意让真实与虚构混驳不清的独特作品~ 电影一方面把 Winnipeg 这个天气异常寒冷的偏远城市写成一个饶富诗意, 满街都是梦游者的地方, 又把城中的历史大事串连成一个个私人的回忆, 对一些具纪录价值的建筑物加上个人的情感投射, 爸爸的冰上曲棍球场和母亲的发廊固然是的场所, 就连镇上的名人们也成为追忆依恋的对象~

　　唐纳德·施特尔瓦格总是格格不入：饱受欺凌，最终辍学，并成为了一个瘾君子。上世纪 90 年代初，正当他的生活开始好转时，一部电视剧把他和一起银行抢劫案联系了起来。描述：非常高，非常胖 — 就像施特尔瓦格一样。一名可疑的专家证人声称劫匪的耳垂很有特色，说服法官相信施特尔瓦格有罪，他因此被定罪。尽管有可信的不在场证明，施特尔瓦格还是在狱中度过了八年。在他获释后不到两周，真正的罪魁祸首就被抓获了。施特尔瓦格被宣告无罪，很快成为各大媒体争相报道的焦点人物。但随后，一辆黄金运输车在 A81 高速公路上被劫持，价值 180 万欧元的黄金被抢走，一切都改变了。劫犯的头目 — 臭名昭著的黑帮说唱歌手莎塔尔向警方告密了。黄金劫匪和被劫者有一个共同点 — 他们都认识唐纳德·施特尔瓦格…他是否犯下了此前被污蔑的罪行？这就是他为自己的命运复仇的方式吗？

　　本纪录片以红极一时的好莱坞明星——方·基默为主角，通过他在儿时、在演艺生涯间拍摄的个人视频，以及与他兄弟一起合作拍摄的家庭电影等资料，来展现一段他这四十多年来的复杂人生。

　　Massive machines require engineering extremes.
　　The massive man-made satellite, commonly known as the International Space Station, hurtling around the Earth at 27,600 km an hour, has been a temporary home for humans for the last 20 years. The biggest land vehicle on earth, a bucket excavator titled Bagger 293, that can move 240,000 cubic meters of dirt each day. Innovation has always meant building bigger, faster, taller, longer and stronger than anything that came before. We’ve seen them in dramatic visual fashion. But how do these actually work? What sets each machine apart. What big ideas drove its evolution and what limitations did this machine overcome? What forces was it built to withstand and where is the breaking point? Using CGI and expert insights, we ‘strip down’ the design of some of the world’s unique colossal machines and reveal mechanical secrets that not only made them work, but also changed the world in a big way!
　　Each episode explores four incredible machines, linked thematically. From sea and space faring designs, to mega airborne, mining and industrial machines, we’ll break down what they can do as well as key inner mechanics and materials that make it all possible. Dynamic archival footage featuring; slow motion, aerials, and time-lapses get us past the ‘caution’ tape and up close and personal with these compound monsters. CGI provides breakouts and blueprints and a look at hidden mechanisms. Adding expertise of structural, mechanical, chemical and forensic engineers to help reveal what’s at stake when these colossal constructions are put work, and how all the pieces come together to make a big impact.

　　The dream of sending humans to Mars is closer than ever before. In fact, many scientists think that the first person to set foot on the Red Planet is alive today. But where should the first explorers visit when they get there?
　　Horizon has gathered the world's leading experts on Mars and asked them: where would they go, if they got the chance - and what would they need to survive?
　　Using incredible real images and data, Horizon brings these Martian landmarks to life, from vast plains to towering volcanoes and from deep valleys to hidden underground caverns. The programme will also show viewers where to land, where to live… and even where to hunt for traces of extra-terrestrial life.
　　This is the ultimate traveller's guide to Mars.

　　我们有史以来第一次以如此清晰的方式，目睹胚胎在一个月大到十星期大这个过程中的面部形成过程——直到这个过程结束，胚胎的体积也还只有一颗菜豆那么大。不过，更令人震惊的或许是影片本身——在子宫中，人类的“变形”并不比什么科幻动画与电影作品中的机器人来得平淡。胚胎的发育是地球生物演化数十亿年的缩影，人类的本源和几乎所有其它生物一样，在于鱼类。因此，人类的眼睛也同样是先出现在头的两侧，到后来才转移到中间；你的下唇与颚部最初出现在颈部的位置，一如鱼类的腮，而上唇和鼻孔则是从脑袋的上方逐渐降下来和下面“合体这一切扭曲、旋转、移动与拼接浑然天成，没有一道疤痕和缺口，不过在拼接的交汇处终究还是留下了一点痕迹，那就是你的人中以上内容出自BBC节目Inside the Human Body，由Michael Mosley博士主持。节目中还介绍了诸如“打嗝是从鱼类和两栖类继承下来的行为哦”等等有趣知识。

　　Our planet's natural world produces truly magical moments all year round. Following both, the course of a regular day and the changing of the seasons, the film captures a visually imposing kaleidoscope of stunning natural events. After all, our lives are inseparable from the world's many different natural spectacles, and unforgettable magic moments
