忘掉大爆炸吧!所有关于宇宙诞生的赞誉都给了它,而实际上大爆炸的即刻结果是一片漆黑和虚无。那时的宇宙没有恒星,没有星系,只有一团气体;这是宇宙历史上的黑暗时代。然而,在这样的状态持续了一亿年之后,一个真正的剧变时刻来临了。这是第一批恒星形成的时刻,宇宙第一次被点亮的时刻,宇宙的最初结构和生命的第一批原料诞生的时刻。寰宇初曦,创世纪的真正时刻。
本部大开眼界的记录片透过英国超级富豪家庭中最年轻成员的眼睛,对他们的生活进行了窥视。本部纪录片讲述的是德鲁伊特–巴罗斯,英国众所周知的第一对同性恋父母的故事,以及他们如何抚育那些拥有世人梦想财富的孩子们。为了庆祝16岁生日聚会而花费3万英镑对于这个家庭来说不值一提。我们将关注这个家庭如何抚养那些拥有一切却并不满足的青少年,并对他们面对社会媒体不近人情的报导带来的压力进行严肃讨论,这些报导让他们的处境变得更加糟糕,毕竟在这个充斥着平等论调的空前氛围下,他们过着别人所期盼的生活。
这是一部精美奇妙的旅行片、新闻片和家庭电影合集,带你重回20世纪上半叶的中国。 影片中的所有资料均来自英国电影协会国家档案馆,由一大批英法电影制片人,或专业或业余的旅行家,殖民时代的外籍人士以及基督教传教士们共同摄制而成。 影片再现了1900年上海繁华时尚的南京路、1929年的大世界游乐场、1937年的上海马赛、1910年的北京前门大街、1925年杭州的运河美景等极具中国特色和时代印记的场景。在这里你可以漫游香港、重庆、广州、昆明等中国各大城市,探秘湖南和云南的偏远乡村。影片中那些具象但一闪而过的画面可能是现存的在中国取景的影片中最为古老的画面了。 2015年上海国际电影节,英国著名默片钢琴家约翰•斯威尼还为该片进行现场伴奏。
一部难得的片子,通过毕加索的家人,前妻,画商,朋友的解读,我们才知,尽管毕加索的晚年作品濒临色情的边缘,但也让我们见识了什么是不顾一切狂野地表达自己突破绘画技巧!而为了悟透男人与女人,性欲与爱的关系,纪录片里会解密他是如何做的。毕加索一生都受性的诱惑,他在作品与生活中都全身心地享受性的乐趣。毕加索每次换个女人,也是每次换个标准,换个视觉,因为他要全部占有女人,直至她的视觉;这时他自己也换了个人。“标准”、“改变视觉”、“性的对话”、“性与心的转换”、“占有女人直至她的视觉”,这是毕加索的艺术中的性心理学的一条粉红色线。如果狄德罗知道了,会说这是极佳的心理临床学。因为他早在两个半世纪以前就说:“一切生物都是你中有我,我中有你……任何禽兽都多少是人,任何矿物都多少是植物,任何植物都多少是禽兽……人是什么?人是某类倾向的总和。”
讲述了在孟加拉国,随着女性地位的提高,许多男人无法接受这一事实,导致该国硫酸袭击女性的犯罪居高不下。遭受伤害的她们除了生理上的创伤同时还要接受社会的非议和歧视。——大家字幕组

Alan Yentob travels to the ghetto in Venice with award-winning novelist Howard Jacobson as he embarks on a retelling of Shakespeare's most performed play, The Merchant of Venice. Through a series of lively - often fiery - interviews, they examine the charge of anti-Semitism against Shakespeare, whose character Shylock remains one of the most odious and divisive fictional Jews in history. How did the moneylender from Venice become such a useful propaganda tool in Nazi Germany? And how much of a liberty will Jacobson be taking when he uproots the action to modern-day Alderley Edge, and audaciously reinterprets the infamous 'pound of flesh'? Interviewees include Antony Sher, Anthony Julius and Stephen Greenblatt.

1 波普艺术(POP)字面意思就是流行艺术.和流行音乐/文化含义一样,意义其实也类似. 2 本片采访POP一堆教父级别的人物.是其他艺术运动纪录片从未有过的. 3 POP用通俗的表达方法打掉了看似高雅的抽象现代艺术. 前者让大众接受, 后者更多只是个人无法理解的表现. 4 POP形式上类似于推销和宣传,而本质上是使用同样手段反宣传反推销. 5 POP的高潮在50年代的纽约,而21世纪的热点,甚至代表人物在中国.
