颐和园(纪录片)

　　The Future of Work and Death is a documentary concerning the growth of exponential technology and where it is taking us. The film focuses on how future technology could significantly change the two inevitable features of the human experience; punching the clock and fading away. It explores how advanced automation, AI and technological singularity could be achievable in the next 30 years. How job obsolescence and technological unemployment could consequently occur and how digital immortality may not be a thing of science fiction. But what are the socio-political repercussions of these innovations and are we ready for them? Does working less mean living more and is ending ageing incumbent on us? Worldwide experts in the fields of futurology, anthropology, neuroscience and philosophy share their thoughts on these future advancements.

　　KITTY LOVE: AN HOMAGE TO CATS is a one-hour Dutch documentary (in Dutch with English subtitles) narrated by Abatutu, a feline "star" of Dutch stage and screen. Via self congratulatory narration voiced by, well, a human, Abatutu describes his talent and inevitable rise to the top. A news reporter provides some backstory as she interviews the cat's owner, an animal handler who does non-human casting for movies and other entertainments. Between snippets of that constructed narrative are cat home videos, hundreds of clips of cats demonstrating the ability to be endlessly absorbed by the complexity of rolls of yarn, the enduring wetness of water, and the towering terror of little white bunnies.

　　This powerful series delves into the Nazi regime’s “Last Secrets” with interviews of the remaining survivors of the Third Reich as well as contemporary experts. Featuring previously inaccessible archives and new documents, it concentrates on aspects of the period that were neglected in the past and alters the way we see the Third Reich. Produced under the supervision of Guido Knopp and the ZDF Contemporary History Dept., the series exposes previously unknown inner workings of Hitler’s regime. Did Hitler fear he had Jewish blood? What did his architect Albert Speer really know about the Holocaust? Was “Desert Fox” General Rommel involved in the Hitler assassination plot of 20 July 1944? And what was Himmler’s actual role in the mass murder of Jews?
　　The program is also known under the title “Nazi Underworld.”

　　James Benning’s first film called The United States of America was a 1975 trip across the country, capturing its scenery through a car windshield. This second one also crisscrosses the nation, but without a car, carving it up instead into a series of static shots of just under two minutes, one for each state, presented alphabetically, from Heron Bay, Alabama to Kelly, Wyoming. The names of the places are nondescript, but the images attached to them are anything but, immaculately composed shots of landscape, cityscape and the spaces in between. As we move from A to Z, the images coalesce into a portrait of today’s USA, tracing out its fault lines almost in passing: fenced-off facilities, a river bed running dry, factories and refineries, run-down streets and gas stations, a camp under a bridge. The past is there too, seeping up through the songs and speeches that sporadically pierce the background noise or the motifs that evoke a whole career; the clouds, trains and cabins are stand-ins for films, not just states. As always, there’s time for more abstract thoughts too: each image may stand for a state, but representativity is slippery. Which state is more cinematic than the rest?

　　为了切断所有相冲突的科学观点，也为了即将到来的为人之父做准备，Damon Gameau决定找出糖对人体健康的真正作用。Damon Gameau是一名澳大利亚演员兼导演，他几年来坚持食用无糖食品，亲自试验一项关于糖的实验。曾经有一段时间，60天内Damon Gameau每天吃40匙的糖，这是正常人平均每天的糖摄入量。食品中自身含有的糖份通常被认为是健康的。因此，甜品、巧克力、冰淇淋和苏打水是不健康的，而果汁、格兰诺拉麦片酸奶以及大量的“光”产品却是无害的。随着实验的进行，Damon Gameau和演员、动画师和特效师共同检验了那些“垃圾”食品，并和医疗专家小组一起讨论实验并且得出了一个临时的显著结果。例如，Stephen Fry带来了一场关于葡萄糖、蔗糖和果糖区别的精彩演示，而Gameau（或者是他的“纳米版”）则展示了一场在自己大脑中精确地找出糖所在之处的奇妙旅程。除了实验内容，本片也包括大量轻松的访谈，其中有对原住民社区的一名嗜糖者的采访以及一位受到可口可乐公司赞助的科学家的采访。
