在大约公元前2600年，一群擅长航海的人出现在克里特岛和伯罗奔尼撒半岛，揭开了希腊历史的序幕。这些迈锡尼人建造了恢宏的宫殿，关于他们的记忆用线形文字铭刻在泥板上，也存留在数个世纪后《荷马史诗》的英雄世界里。在之后的一千多年里，古希腊人发展出哲学、自然科学、戏剧和艺术，创立了民主制，为世界贡献了亚里士多德、伯里克利、普鲁塔克、亚历山大大帝等杰出人物，成为西方文明的领航员。 有人说，古希腊人凭不世出的才干缔造了希腊奇迹，为人类建造了精神家园；也有人说，他们只是善于模仿，吸收了地中海东部所有文明的精髓，通过征服和扩张将文化传播至各地。古典学者伊迪丝•霍尔熟知古希腊人的生活世界，她说，将众多文化融会贯通的古希腊人自有其独特之处，正因为拥有这些特质，他们才在合适的时间、合适的地点接过了人类进步的接力棒，在未来几百年间引领知识进步。 霍尔讲述了古希腊从公元前1600 年到公元400 年横跨两千年的文明历程；从西班牙到印度，从遥远的尼罗河到冰冷刺骨的顿河，古希腊文化的重心一直在转移。霍尔熟练运用考古资料与经典文献，把古希腊人的历史划分为十个阶段，取分布于十个地理区域的社群，展现古希腊人的十大特性：擅长航海、不愿盲从、看重个人、求知欲强、思想开放、机智聪慧、喜爱竞争、崇尚美好品质、善于表达、追求享乐。这些联系起迈锡尼人、雅典人、斯巴达人、马其顿人……的精神特质，也成了古希腊乃至此后西方文明的底色。

1995 film by Theodoros Angelopoulos

A Swedish pastor fails a loving woman, a suicidal fisherman and God.

The 2-part feature-length documentary "25 ze šedesátých aneb Československá nová vlna" ("25 from the Sixties, or Czechoslovak New Wave") presents a complex view of the phenomenon of Czech and Slovak New Wave in the cultural and social context of the 60's. 25 fundamental films commented on by their makers and film historians offer the viewer a dramatic insight into the golden era of Czechoslovak cinema. The documentary is a follow-up on the biographical TV series "Zlatá šedesátá" (Czech Television, 2009), based on the filmmakers' personal remembrances. As opposed to the series, the documentary presents the Czech and Slovak cinema of the 60's in the national, international and also inter-generational context. It describes the ways the New Wave crossed the existing artistic boundaries, how it variegated the world cinema and where it left an ineffaceable impression. It analyses the work of filmmakers in a state-funded cinema, under the pressure of ideological demands on one hand and commerce on the other. It presents the dilemma of a man - an artist - on the edge between contradictory social systems and incongruous aesthetic requirements. The existential drama of a man acting freely and at the same time mercilessly crushed by the wheels of the system. The 60's are, from this point of view, mostly an era of fortunate historical constellation, not only in - at that time - Czechoslovakia, but on a world-wide scale. An era of expectations and upswing, but also an era of exemplary human decisions and artistic pursuit. Those are some of the things "25 ze šedesátých aneb Československá nová vlna" wants to commemorate.

Shot in France, England, Switzerland and the United States, this documentary covers director Alejandro Jodorowsky (El Topo, Holy Mountain, Santa Sangre) and his 1974 Quixotic attempt to adapt the seminal sci-fi novel Dune into a feature film. After spending 2 years and millions of dollars, the massive undertaking eventually fell apart, but the artists Jodorowsky assembled for the legendary project continued to work together. This group of artists, or his “warriors” as Jodorowsky named them, went on to define modern sci-fi cinema with such films as Alien, Blade Runner, Star Wars and Total Recall.
