Through fraudulent mechanisms, this causes recurrent boom and bust cycles: bad policies create phases of irrational exuberance, which are then followed by economic recessions, a result that every citizen ends up suffering from.

This documentary is absolutely fascinating look at the future of humanity. Warning: the ideas, speculations and scientific research in this film just might blow your mind. Be sure to watch in full-screen. “Technocalyps is an intriguing three-part documentary on the notion of transhumanism by Belgian visual artist and filmmaker Frank Theys. The latest findings in genetics, robotics, artificial intelligence, bionics and nanotechnology appear in the media every day, but with no analysis of their common aim: that of exceeding human limitations. The director conducts his inquiry into the scientific, ethical and metaphysical dimensions of technological development. The film includes interviews by top experts and thinkers on the subject worldwide, including Marvin Minsky, Terence McKenna, Hans Moravec, Bruce Sterling, Robert Anton Wilson, Richard Seed, Margareth Wertheim, Kirkpatrick Sale, Ralph C. Merkle, Mark Pesce, Ray Kurzweil, Rabbi Youssouf Kazen, Rael and many others.” Part I – Transcending Human Limitations The first part provides an overview of recent technological developments in bio-genetics, artificial intelligence, robotics, implants and nanotechnology – and prognoses made by leading scientists about the impact of these developments in the near future. Part II – Preparing For The Singularity In this part advocates and opponents of a transhuman future are weighed against each other; prognoses are done when we can expect the transhuman revolution and how people are preparing for it already now. Part III – The Digital Messiah This part covers the metaphysical consequences of the new technological revolution. On the one hand scientist start to use metaphysical concepts to describe the impact of their research, on the other hand, a surprisingly large number of scientific projects is inspired by religious aspirations and more and more theologians from any religious or spiritual belief are getting interested in these aspirations of new technology, making the discussion inextricable complex.

In three amazing episodes, NatureTech views the world with fresh eyes, where nature and technology stand hand in hand. This series investigates how flies improve search and rescue; termite feces helps builders; pine cones inspire new-age apparel and sharks Olympic swimsuits; nanotechnology mimics moths; Arctic poppies influence eco-friendly architecture; cockroaches inspire space engineers; fish become cars and airplanes take the shape of birds. NatureTech won an Emmy Award for Cinematography in the Nature Documentaries/Dramatic Recreations category for Magic of Motion, a Gold Parent's Choice Foundation Award and the Best Limited Series Award at the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival, among other nominations. EPISODES INCLUDE: Magic of Motion: An Emmy Award-winner (nominated twice), this episode shows the aerodynamics of how animals walk, swim and fly. All the Wright Brothers needed to do was look up...to the turkey vulture Nature inspired man's earliest motion and continues to do so today. The Material World: Nature is full of amazing materials, tougher than steel and sharper than our finest optics, and uses them in extraordinary ways. Scientists look for materials that are warmer, smarter, stronger and more eco-friendly. Energy is the Key: Sunlight and plants, the alchemy of life. Human mastery of fire freed us from energy constraints, but at what cost The search for new ways to live on our planet.

The made-for-cable documentary film The Real Eve is predicated on the theory that the human race can be traced to a common ancestor. The mitochondrial DNA of one prehistoric woman, who lived in Africa, has according to this theory been passed down from generation to generation over a span of 150,000 years, supplying the "chemical energy" to all humankind.

POP STAR ON ICE is an unprecedented behind-the-scenes portrait of outspoken Olympian and three-time US Figure Skating National Champion Johnny Weir. When Johnny fails to win a medal at the 2006 Winter Olympics, the media turns on him and he feels the backlash. Love him or hate him, Johnny is one of the most talented skaters of all time, but talent alone does not make a champion. Johnny’s complicated relationship with his longtime coach Priscilla Hill and his struggle to reach the top of the sport takes us from small town Delaware – his training home – to competitions, shopping sprees, fashion shows and personal appearances around the world. The inspiration for Jon Heder’s character in the box office smash BLADES OF GLORY, Johnny seeks to balance his larger-than-life persona with the constraints of his sport. POP STAR ON ICE uncovers the graceful, athletic, cut-throat and melodramatic sport of figure skating through the prism of its most controversial athlete as he tries to fulfill his potential on the world stage.

This witty and original film is about the open spaces of cities and why some of them work for people while others don't. Beginning at New York's Seagram Plaza, one of the most used open areas in the city, the film proceeds to analyze why this space is so popular and how other urban oases, both in New York and elsewhere, measure up. Based on direct observation of what people actually do, the film presents a remarkably engaging and informative tour of the urban landscape and looks at how it can be made more hospitable to those who live in it.
