The Human Body
Three years in the making, this film reveals THE HUMAN BODY in a way never seen before – telling the incredible story of a single day in the lifetime of the you and me. From morning to night we live through many miracles - from the moment we first open our eyes - burning cells from the surface of our retinas and giving us, each morning, a fresh set of sensors with which to view the day - to the last rumblings of our evening meal late at night as it is turned into the raw materials with which we will face tomorrow. In astonishing detail, we explore the daily biological processes that go on without our control and often without our even noticing.



Wired to Win: Surviving the Tour de France
This movie tells the true story of two elite cyclists in the legendary race— Australian Baden Cooke, and his French teammate Jimmy Casper— as they compete in the grueling three-week-long event. Narrated by British actor Alfred Molina (Spiderman 2, The Da Vinci Code), the film follows Cooke, Casper and the other riders over the towering peaks of the Alps, through the knotted villages of Provence, and the cobblestone streets of Paris, as they try to avoid danger, overcome crushing pain and fatigue, control their emotions, seize fleeting moments of opportunity, and stay highly motivated. Powering each of these feats, of course, is the source of universal ambition and ability: the human brain, presented here as a dynamic engine of possibility.


Dinosaurs Alive!

Join renowned paleontologists as they discover new fossils and uncover evidence that dinosaur descendants are still among us.

spectacular giant-screen imagery yet seen, the film celebrates the
unsurpassed beauty of the Alps and the indomitable spirit of the people who
live there. Features a soundtrack by the rock group Queen.
Dinosaurs Alive!

Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure

Here is the extraordinary true story of polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton’s now-legendary 1914-1916 British Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. This expedition has become a larger-than-life testament to heroism and human endurance, with all 28 men surviving nearly two years in the barren, frigid Antarctic.

Dolphins

 RIDE AROUND THE WORLD
Traces the 1,000-year global evolution of horse-and-cattle culture as it spread from this nexus in Spain to every corner of the New World. In the process it would shape how entire societies live, speak, dress and eat, the music they listen to, the stories they tell, the ideals they hold to, the very fabric of their lives. The film makes this journey in a completely active way, by visiting spectacular locations along this global path and, through the immersive power of the giant screen, allowing viewers to ride with men and women from those distinct cultures

 

Alaska: spirit of the Wild
Narrated by Charlton Heston, it shows the viewer just how explosive and pure the vast, empty land of Alaska is. It is virtually untouched by human hands, and has been for centuries. The movie is highlighted by stunning helicopter shots and plenty of images of animal interactions. This documentary (which was nominated for best short in 97) is a testament to all the reasons why natural parks should be kept free from human hands so that their beauty can be experienced by the next generation.

 



Animalopolis
ANIMALOPOLIS will take you on a voyage into the magical world of animals. A bit fanciful, a bit "Seussian" perhaps, a place of good natured humor, beauty and just plain fun for kids and their parents.
