纪录片《Finding Vivian Maier》定于9月份在多伦多国际电影节期间首映。影片揭示她的双面人生:生前才华横溢,却默默无闻做了40年保姆,去世后留下10万多张芝加哥街景和街头人像底片,2007年在一场拍卖会上被电影制片人John Maloof拍得后重见天日,她遂被摄影界公认为是20世纪最伟大的摄影师之一。
本部纪录片以深入浅出的手法,从现代企业的本质、演变、冲击和可能的未来四个方面,批判地揭示了现代企业所隐含的内在运作、发展的历史、其所带来极具争议性的冲击及未来的可能发展。影片开篇便采用了“世卫组织国际疾病分类第10版”和“心理疾病诊断统计手册第4版”的诊断标准,对那些财团法人或大企业进行人格检查,试图揭开跨国大企业的真面目。本片耗时六年完成,采访了来自不同业界的40位人士,这些业界精英现身说法,道出了企业机构以牟取利润为终极使命的惊人秘密。我们的确患病了,唯利是图、人情冷漠、反社会人格等等,我们所能做的就是依靠我们的勇气、智慧和决心去阻止它。 由马克·阿克巴与詹尼弗·阿尔伯特联合执导的发人深省的纪录片《大企业》,根据乔尔·巴肯的《企业的性格与命运》改编拍摄而成。本片荣获2004年圣丹斯电影节世界电影单元-纪录片大奖在内的26项国际大奖以及10项观众票选最佳影片。
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.
