Die Moldau - Der goldene Fluss

The birthplace of the Vltava lies in the Bohemian Forest. Dark yellow, like heavy gold, it fills its bed. The golden river, which has repeatedly overflowed its banks, has inspired poets, architects and composers. Today, badgers and wolves are just as much at home on the Vltava as the ground squirrel and the pouched tit. Moose are once again living in the moorland on the upper reaches of the river.

Strangers in the Dark

Strangers in the Dark is an experimental film about how light pollution makes a glow-worm’s love life a living hell. Combining different techniques from animation to archive material the film follows glow-worm’s attempts to find a partner in an environment that is no longer dark at night. The story about light and darkness moves from the scale of planetary to microscopic, from the calmness of nature to a hectic city and from artificial light to the green shimmer of a glow-worm’s behind.

Tsunami - Killer Wave

The globe learned on December 26, 2004, that tsunamis can bring death and devastation to the world's coastlines. The product of undersea earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, tsunamis can race across oceans at more than 500 miles an hour, leaving a huge wake of destruction when they hit shore. Because it is difficult for scientists to predict how large these massive waves can be, tsunamis are one of the least understood of nature's forces, and one of the most dangerous. With insight from some of the scientific community's foremost researchers, and vivid accounts from past tsunami survivors, Tsunami: Killer Wave depicts nature at its most extreme, profiles the efforts being made to curb its effects, and illustrates the financial, physical and emotional toll it can leave on its victims.
