THE TATRAS A MYSTERY

“Mountains give us many questions, but no answer is really exact. There is still something hidden inside, the zone of silence. This answer contains a mystery. The mystery, that is delicate as clouds during a wonderful day and the slow sunrise, but also stirring and scary as night thunderbolts. When a man cannot answer the question, why he must always come to the mountains, he evidences, that he is seeking. And that seeking is a main idea of this film."

METAMORPHOSES OF THE TATRA MOUNTAINS

“Man is only a minor creature, who can only stand in amazement and watch what nature is able to do. Often, he only discovers after a long time how wise and prospective nature is...” “Everyone says that the Tatra Mountains will never be the same as they used to be. The mountains, however, live their own life. They won’t conform to our concepts. The film “Metamorphoses of the Tatra Mountains” is designed to illustrate my view of the changes happening in the Tatra Mountains. I’ve tried to show my submission and respect to nature from which we all emerged. If we understand it, we’ll also be able to understand the changes that occur on the Earth. Of course, only if we are interested in doing so...” Palo Barabáš
SYNOPSIS

The film - Metamorphoses of the Tatra Mountains - talks about man's respect for nature and its ability to renew itself in its entire complexity and beauty. It also talks about what we all have hidden in our subconscious; that all of us on this planet form an integral unit, which underlies certain precise natural regularities. And we often recognise them only after a great length of time.

Patagonia 1915-1928

At the beginning of the century came to Tierra del Fuego, an Italian priest named Alberto Agostini. His love for these southern lands and inhabited by those who led him to shoot with a camera at the time extensive records of landscapes, towns and people.The material, filmed between 1915 and 1928 and recently rescued, was assembled under the same conditions was found. That means that the images have scratches and marks of time (and the copy is silent) but the result is amazing: the true time capsule to evoke a time and place of our national past that we thought forgotten forever. As poor amateur documentary, is interesting. As an object of historical and educational support is invaluable.

KON TIKI

SYNOPSIS:
"Kon-Tiki" was the name of a wooden raft used by six Scandinavian scientists, led by Thor Heyerdahl, to make a 101-day journey from South America to the Polynesian Islands. The purpose of the expedition was to prove Heyerdal's theory that the Polynesian Islands were populated from the east---specifically Peru---rather than from the west (Asia)as had been the theory for hundreds of years. Heyerdahl made a study of the winds and tides in the Pacific, and by simulating conditions as closely as possible to those he theorized the Peruvians encountered, set out on the voyage.

EXPEDITION AFRICA

Part 1: Lost in Africa
The Explorers meet on the island of Zanzibar at the British Consulate, where all the great African explorers passed through. They get their supplies, cross the Zanzibar Channel and begin their journey through a swamp.


Part 2: The First Victim
As they approach the Uluguru Mountains for a treacherous mountain crossing, the team reconsiders how much gear they are carrying. Pasquale tries to push them ahead, but as they climb higher, the torrid African sun makes travel difficult. One member of the group collapses with a life-threatening condition, and the explorers are forced to call for emergency medical attention and make camp early. The next day, the explorers reach the oldest forest in Africa - 25 million years old - and finally approach the summit, but damp conditions make it impossible to start a cooking fire. They are forced to set out hungry the next day, when they must face the crossing of sheer cliffs hundreds of feet tall.


Part 3: Hunters become the Hunted
This is real Africa. The team have to cross the hot, dry plains. The dangers of lions and hyenas are very real. They also participate in a traditional Maasai blood drinking ritual.


Part 4: African Monsoon
From the blistering heat of the Mkata Plains to the torrential rains of the Sagara Mountians, the Explorers are pounded by the rain and have a tough time finding their way through the mountains. More...From the blistering heat of the Mkata Plains to the torrential rains of the Sagara Mountians, The dangers of this trek open old wounds for Pasquale as he tells what it's like to bring the body of a dead comrade down the side of a mountian.



Part 5: Danger in the Desert
The Explorers have their greatest trek in terms of distance, across a plain of cracked earth that is like Death Valley. Here the division between Pasquale's style of leadership and Benedict's splits wide open. Pasquale is more like Stanley, who just wants to get there, whereas Benedict is more like Livingstone and wants to stop to smell the flora and fauna along the way.


Part 6: Malaria Claims an Explorer
For the Explorers, Tabora is a historical highlight - the last place to resupply. Like Stanley, they plan to stop, resupply and celebrate being two thirds of the way done with their journey. Visiting the Livingstone House, Benedict falls to malaria. The expedition comes to a halt as the Explorers decide whether or not to push on without Benedict, or take their chances and bring him along. They choose the latter and forge onward to the Ugalla River area, where they pause the expedition to let Benedict recoup some more. Once again, the animal dangers are real; large numbers of hippos live in the river they are camped near. The Explorers are tired from their journey and their emotions are raw.


Part 7: Heart of Darkness
The Explorers push onward from the Ugalla River to the Malagarasi, where Stanley had lost his favourite donkey. Benendict tries to hide from the others that he's still not feeling well, but the others notice he's not healthy, casting concern that Benedict might not make it to the end.


Part 8: The Final Chapter
The final push to Ujiji, where Stanley met Dr. Livingstone ... and said the immortal line "Dr. Livingstone, I presume. However, it is not without peril. The Explorers battle through water on Lake Tnaganyika, and their boats are separated: Pasquale and Mireya in one boat; Benedict and Kevin in another. After hours of separation, they reunite on the shores of the lake to spend the night. Their final day and their final push finds them in a swamp that truly tests them. In the end, they walk four abreast down the mango-lined road where Stanley once walked to greet Dr. Livingstone. The entire village turns out to greet the Explorers.

The Endurance

Several films have documented or dramatized the incredible saga of Ernest Shackleton's ill-fated trans-Antarctic expedition, but The Endurance offers the most comprehensive one-source reference. Originally presented as a PBS Nova special and narrated by Liam Neeson, this excellent film--based on Caroline Alexander's acclaimed book, also titled after the ironic name of Shackleton's doomed ship--chronicles the astonishing events of 1914-16, when Shackleton and 27 crewmen survived against all odds after their ship was crushed in the polar ice floes. This is the only "Shackleton" film to incorporate new footage, expert interviews, dramatic recreations (without dialogue), and expedition photographer Frank Hurley's archival film and photographs. The cumulative effect of this extensive material gives the viewer an almost palpable sense of the expedition's hardship and unlikely survival, made possible in part by a man who had precisely the required experience and leadership skills, and in part by what can only be described as divine intervention. No matter how you interpret it, this is rightly called "the greatest survival story ever told." --Jeff Shannon

SHACKLETON ANTARTIC ADVENTURE

Of the many films that have chronicled Ernest Shackleton''s team''s legendary trans-Antarctic expedition and their struggle for survival, Shackleton''s Antarctic Adventure is the only documentary that traces the actual steps of the explorers'' blessed journey. While providing a concise summary of the Shackleton team''s 1914-16 expedition, this breathtaking IMAX feature employs exacting re-creations and flyover footage (from 1999 and 2000) of the same harsh landscapes that Shackleton and his men traversed, by land and sea, during their ill-fated voyage. As with most IMAX films, climactic moments are driven by a bombastic score (how many swollen crescendos can one movie handle?), and the harshest facts of the Shackleton journey (e.g., sacrificing beloved dogs for food and euthanasia) are omitted for family viewing. That''s a condescending compromise, and the gravitas of Kevin Spacey''s narration is a bit overstated. What matters here are the visuals (both vintage and contemporary), and they''re absolutely magnificent, conveying the sheer horror--and divine beauty--of the greatest survival story of all time. --Jeff Shannon
