billion year history of our world in two
hours. It’s a fast-paced journey from the

barriers between the sciences and history
to show how astrophysics, chemistry,
biology, paleontology, anthropology, and
all eras of history can actually unite into
a single narrative. From the formation of
the earth and the emergence of life, to the
advance of man and the growth of
civilization, it’s a rapid-fire view of our
unforgettable story—from zero to 14
billion years in 120 minutes.

It all starts in 2010, when ring leader
Tony Roucas, a.k.a. Mad Tony, who is
serving a long-term prison sentence, and
Kenz a young North African delinquent
from an estate, escape from prison. In
this 21st century overcrowded prison,
they share the same tiny cell. They have
absolutely nothing in common and have
nothing to say to each other. Their escape
reveals their differences even more,
where the old methods of organized
crime (with carefully planned missions,
codes and complex networks) conflict
with the new ones (fast, immediate, less
prepared).Tony faces his past and
exposes the cops and crooks who sent
him to jail. Several flashbacks take us
back to his hectic past, from the 50s up
to the 80s including the events of 1968
and paint a vivid picture of the history of
organized crime.

can get divorced. All the women are
Muslim and the discussion is not about

already have, but about getting a divorce
under sharia law, an Islamic religious law
based on the Koran. Women who don’t

have considerable difficulty getting a
sharia divorce. Until this divorce is
granted, the community regards them as
married and no sheikh will agree to
marry them again. DIVORCE: AUSSIE

OUTLAND is a comedy series about a
gay science fiction fan club and the lives,
loves and never-ending dramas of its
members. These five individuals are
forced to meet in each other’s homes
after they are unceremoniously evicted
from a larger science fiction club. This
new intimacy reveals parts of their lives
that are far too personal for a club
meeting. Every meeting collapses into
chaos as the weaknesses within the group
are exposed. Relationships are destroyed
and hilarity ensues as secrets and
skeletons come crashing out of the
closet. As the meetings become more
unstable, a decision has to be made – are
they willing to commit to the idea of the
group or is it time they went their
separate ways? Can science fiction save
them all?

and Josh live for the weekend. When

do with yourselves?”, they decide it’s
time to become their own bosses.
However, although Jess and Josh have
every intention of succeeding, they
somehow manage to self-destruct, with
their schemes ending in chaos. Whether
it is finding out how you got home last
night or what to do with the rest of your
life, the twentysomething world is filled
with massive highs, heart breaking lows
and plenty of drinks in between.

Emily Thorne is the newest arrival in the
Hamptons this summer. By all
appearances, she’s a friendly and
sophisticated “girl next door”, whose
disarming charm and generosity allow
her seamless access to the restricted
circles of Hampton’s high society. But
the affluent, exclusive world she’s
immersed herself in is tied to a dark
family history, and Emily Thorne is
anything but what she seems. When
Emily was just nine, her father was
framed for a horrific crime by
neighbours he trusted, and was sentenced
to life in prison. Emily never saw her
father again and spent her childhood
consumed by rage, loss and betrayal. 17
years later, she has returned under an
assumed identity with one endgame –
REVENGE — every social overture a
carefully planned chip at the foundation
of her sworn enemies, until their lives
come crashing down around them.
Emily’s goal is unwavering, and her
sharp mind is always five steps ahead.
But when her past begins to catch up, her
true heart may get caught in the crossfire.

receives interesting tips and tricks that
they can utilize themselves with their
own dogs. Dog Days is built around the
skills of a trained therapist and his team,
all absolute experts in behavioral
training for dogs. They are the trump

to the very different cases which they
are dealt. Each episode covers two big

Beto is the custodian of a house in

years, in which he used to work as a
domestic help. The solitude of the last
ten years, as well as the monotony and
routine of his job has made him lead a
secluded life, which might seem

provides a safe and stable environment,
in contrast to the threatening world

fear for the exterior, to the point of
limiting his contacts to only two people:
the owner of the house, for whom he has
a feeling of deep gratitude and respect
that is translated into obedience; and
Lupe, a friend, a confident and a lover.
Once he learns that the house will soon
be sold, Beto is confronted to the
dilemma of gathering the courage to get
out and get a life or find a way of
remaining in his confinement.

breathtaking and lavishly romantic, the

Determined not to let anything do her in,
she refuses to take grief from
anyone…and she’s just decided to redo
her kitchen. Enter Pete (David Walton,

for the job. Pete is a recovering gambling
addict, avid surfer and unapologetic
womanizer. His vices have ruined his
relationships with his old construction
team, and this kitchen job is his last
chance to make good. But he has not

encounters the force that is Alex; nor
does Alex realize that her unrelentingly
rigid façade is about to crumble at the
same time her kitchen gets demolished.
From writer Tad Quill (Scrubs) comes a

Alex (Hank Azaria, Huff) and Helen
(Kathryn Hahn, Hung) are co-workers.
He’s recently divorced and she lost her
fiancé a year ago. Neither is ready to
start dating, so of course they do the

together one night. Despite their little
romantic encounter, however, they decide
to just remain friends. But that is easier
said than done, especially when Alex’s
plan to go on a date makes Helen a little
jealous. This crooked romantic comedy
written by John Enbom (Party Down)

into a hideous hag, or an average Joe
turning into a vicious troll. Then, Nick
discovers the truth about his visions; he’s
a descendant of an elite group of hunters
who are charged with stopping the
proliferation of supernatural creatures in
the world. The Brothers Grimm wrote
fairy tales that children have adored for
generations, but imagine if their villains
were real and Nick was the only one who
could stop them. From executive

excitement grows once casting of the title
role begins, and a rivalry forms between
a young ingénue and a more experienced
veteran determined to have her moment
in the sun. From there, it’s a rollercoaster
ride that will culminate on opening night
when the audience will determine
whether or not the show is a Smash.
From executive producers Steven
Spielberg and Craig Zadan & Neil Meron
(Chicago) comes a new musical series
with original songs by Marc Shaiman

the rise and subsequent downfall of
Hitler and the third reich. The film was
the first of its kind that was shown
widely in Germany after the end of
WW2. It tells the story of how one man
came to threaten the world with his
frightening ideas and his fearsomely
powerful army. His motto was “One
people, one führer, one nation,
Germany”. People under Hitler’s rule
were used as puppets, mere tools to reach
his final goal of worldwide domination.
All footage is authentic and exhibit the
gruesome and monstrous reign that
tortured Europe for over half a decade, a
time which trot out the worst in many
people and left only torn apart nations,
families and 60 million deaths. We want
to forget, but as Resnais says, we must
never forget what happened.

TRANSCENDENT MAN
Documentary (83 min)
Language: English
Director: Robert Ptolemy
Delivery Status: Completed
Country of Origin: US
TRANSCENDENT MAN chronicles the
life and ideas of Ray Kurzweil, an
inventor and futurist that presents his
bold vision of the Singularity, a point in
the near future when technology will be
changing so rapidly, that we will have to
enhance ourselves with artificial
intelligence to keep up. Ray predicts this
will be the dawning of a new civilization
in which we will no longer be dependent
on our physical bodies, we will be
trillions of times more intelligent and
there will be no clear distinction between
human and machine, real reality and
virtual reality. Human aging and illness
will be reversed; world hunger and
poverty will be solved and we will
ultimately cure death. Critics accuse Ray
of being too optimistic and argue that the
dangers of the Singularity far outweigh
the benefits, pointing out the apocalyptic
implications that once machines achieve
consciousness, we may not be able to
control them. Whether Rays
controversial ideas incite excitement or
fear, dogma or disbelief this ambitious
documentary will forever change the way
you look at life, death, and your own
future.
