地表最大家族

　　随着工业文明的高度发展，各种各样的食物也变得供不应求，但在这看似繁华的背后，食品安全却已到了不容忽视的地步。影片从快餐业入手，逐步向种植业、畜牧业、养殖业延展开去，揭露了大型食品公司经营者为了获取高额利润不惜改变动植物的生长方式和生长周期，他们在经营上取得丰厚的利润，而代价却是公众的健康和安全。在看似清洁的食品加工流水线上，沙门氏菌和希氏大肠杆菌毫无阻碍渗透到食物当中，毒害着人类的生命。由于政策等方面原因，人们无法也无力拒绝大公司强加于身的迫害。在金钱和欲望面前，我们自取灭亡……
　　本片荣获2009年华盛顿影评人协会最佳纪录片奖。

　　近年科学界、出版界，与纪录片频道打龙通，推出“没有人的地球”末世想像。来自奥地利的葛哈特大概认为电视太细、CG 太假，讨论太消费浅薄，于是以在地真实拍摄，体现心中的荒凉情状。起点是日本，先叫我们一起沉思福岛──仓促撤出后的办公室、公园、学校、商店，又定又长的镜头，风雨光暗下阅读和感受。大不同你在荷里活大片碰到的新巴洛克式人工破坏，反击其实是大自然。视觉慢慢抵达未来，文明的颓垣败瓦，不在问：人类哪里去了？而是问：我们究竟走到哪个地步啊？

　　Burroughs: The Movie explores the life and times of controversial Naked Lunch author William S. Burroughs, with an intimacy never before seen and never repeated. The film charts the development of Burroughs' unique literary style and his wildly unconventional life, including his travels from the American Midwest to North Africa and several personal tragedies. Burroughs: The Movie is the first and only feature length documentary to be made with and about Burroughs. The film was directed by the late Howard Brookner. It was begun in 1978 as Brookner's senior thesis at NYU film school and then expanded into a feature which was completed 5 years later in 1983. Sound was recorded by Jim Jarmusch and the film was shot by Tom DiCillo, fellow NYU classmates and both very close friends of Brookner's.

　　In 1976, Karen and Barry Mason had fallen on hard times and were looking for a way to support their young family when they answered an ad in the Los Angeles Times. Larry Flynt was seeking distributors for Hustler Magazine. What was expected to be a brief sideline led to their becoming fully immersed in the LGBT community as they took over a local store, Circus of Books. A decade later, they had become the biggest distributors of gay porn in the US.
　　The film focuses on the double life they led, trying to maintain the balance of being parents at a time when LGBT culture was not yet accepted. Their many challenges included facing jail time for a federal obscenity prosecution and enabling their store to be a place of refuge at the height of the AIDS crisis.
　　Circus of Books offers a rare glimpse into an untold chapter of queer history, and it is told through the lense of the owners' own daughter, Rachel Mason, an artist, filmmaker and musician.

　　The film charts the iconic British band’s sprawling journey over the last few years – from an unexpected break in Hong Kong which sowed the seeds for their first album as a four piece in 16 years, to a glorious home coming show in London and, finally, an emotional reunion with their Hong Kong audience.
　　New World Towers cuts between scenes from the band’s impassioned performance at this summer’s Hyde Park show in front of 60,000 fans and the stirring concert in Hong Kong, but also offers a raw, candid glimpse into the interior life of the band as well, with personal documentary footage and band interviews showing just how an opportune recording session unexpectedly gave birth to a new album, while also raising questions about the future of Blur. New World Towers reveals fascinating insights into the group dynamic and especially the relationship between singer Damon Albarn and guitarist Graham Coxon. Ultimately, their enduring friendship prevailed - allowing Coxon to bring [The Magic Whip] to completion nearly 18 months later.

　　阿尔．帕西诺演而优则导处女作就挑战高难度，用半纪录半戏剧，既诠释又议论的复杂手法拍摄本片，其创作诚意和导演技巧都有令人惊喜。本片基本上是纪录阿尔．帕西诺和美国演员排学莎翁的冷门剧本《理查三世》的整个过程。透过大量的街头访问，让人了解到美国年轻一代对莎士比亚的戏剧是何其陌生，这也解释了帕西诺为何要拍此片的动机。而一连串选角和围读剧本的讨论，则有如向观众解读《理》剧，深入了解其时代背景和角色心理动机，让大家在欣赏戏中戏的正式演出部分很快便进入状况。因此，本片采用的叙事手法看似零乱，实际却对观众发挥了下面的辅助作用，因为影片的镜头运用更自由奔放，戏里戏外的呼应更紧密，关注的层面更广泛，成功地为莎剧电影注入了新血液。

　　Episode 2 幽暗深海 The Deep 在所有的海洋生态中，深海依然是最神秘莫测的地方。在黑暗的迷离世界里，动物都在捉秘藏。有许多生物都像隐了形一样，希望无声无色地避开敌人，隐藏在黑暗之中。为了得到少有的食物，掠食者拥有超大的口与牙齿，潜藏在路边，像捕鼠器般等待；猎物送上门来。
　　Episode 3 远洋辽阔 Open Ocean 在广阔的大海中寻找生命的足迹，向着渺无边际的蓝色大海，四面八方伸展开去。在这海洋沙漠中，上面的阳光透不进来，下面则是黑暗深渊。无尽的大海看似荒芜一片，但令人难以置信的是，有许多最奇特的掠食者竟然聚居此处。一簇簇的大海草，为鱼类提供最佳的居所，但也令它们成为掠食者手到擒来的快餐。
　　Episode 4 冰封大海 Frozen Seas 首次，我们对南、北极的严峻与艰辛作一比较。在这里，海洋每年的结冰与解冻，主宰生命的节奏。冬天的温度会急降至摄氏零下七十度，只有在春天稍有舒缓，此时阳光普照，浮游生物才会涌现，为众多生物提供养分；在短暂的休息后，寒冰又会随着秋天的风暴卷土重来……

A decade on from Red Bull Stratos, Felix Baumgartner gives us the inside story of his historic space mission.

　　Is it humankind's greatest achievement? 12 billion miles away a tiny spaceship is leaving our Solar System and entering the void of deep space. It is the first human-made object ever to do so. Slowly dying within its heart is a plutonium generator that will beat for perhaps another decade before the lights on Voyager finally go out. But this little craft will travel on for millions of years, carrying a Golden Record bearing recordings and images of life on Earth. In all likelihood Voyager will outlive humanity and all our creations. It could be the only thing to mark our existence. Perhaps some day an alien will find it and wonder. The story of Voyager is an epic of human achievement, personal drama and almost miraculous success. Launched 16 days apart in Autumn 1977, the twin Voyager space probes have defied all the odds, survived countless near misses and almost 40 years later continue to beam revolutionary information across unimaginable distances. With less computing power than a ...

　　In 1966 the Spanish Army built a huge cemetery with over 5000 graves at Mirandilla Valley in Burgos for the final sequence in the film "The Good the Bad and the Ugly". After the shooting, the whole place was left behind and for 49 years, nature covered every tomb. In October 2015 a group of film fans decided to start digging - and under 3 inches of ground they found the original paved circle. For months, people from all around Europe traveled to Sad Hill to unearth and rebuild the place. Sad Hill Unearthed is the amazing story behind one of the most important locations in film history. It explores the dreams and motivations behind the fans but also the transformation of art, music and film in a substitute for religion.
