The ability to fly is one of the greatest wonders in the natural world.  Millions of creatures soar above our heads today, using a fabulous variety of techniques to defy gravity and master their aerial environment.  But how did animals make the incredible transition from land to air?

Conquest of the Skies uses the very latest science and stunning special effects to uncover the 300-million-year story of flight—and it’s not simply about birds.  Using advanced 3D filming technology we capture the beauty and excitement of the whole world of flying creatures, from the fastest predatory falcons to the most acrobatic of insects, night flyers like owls and bats, and the soaring and gliding specialists capable of traveling huge distances.  Audiences will enter the truly amazing world of these remarkable animal aviators, and leave the theater both stunned by the spectacle and thrilled by the story of how animals rose up and conquered the skies.

Described only in books, Cocomong dreams of what it would be like to really travel through space.  And then all too quickly Halley appears out of nowhere!  To protect the last remaining star ball, the alien kid from Titan makes an emergency landing on Fridge Land.  His parents were kidnapped by Virus King who plans to rule the universe once all the stars balls are put together.  Halley needs the help of Cocomong and his friends to save his parents and get the other star balls back, but Titan is further away than Mars or Jupiter, and nearer to Saturn.  Will our rescuers be able to travel all the way safely?  “We’ll never know until we get there!,” says Cocomong as they embark on a rescue mission and so begins their adventure through space.

Bus Driver in Claw Tropolis is a bit of a grouch.  He ‘drops’ passengers out of the moving bus whenever he pleases.  Ironically, one day, he gets himself stuck — on his own bus?!

MAURICE the Human Cannonball is a proud, egoistic circus artist who would never let anybody else become the star in the circus arena.  But he was not expecting the intelligence of FRED, the elephant.  A funny family adventure with star ride and a good message.

The love story between chickens and men has lasted for over 5000 years.  How has this humble forest animal managed to conquer all continents, all territories and become the most abundant and diversified feathered species on our planet?

Today there are over 19 billion on earth, three times more than human beings, and many more than any other species of wild birds.

How did this darkly plumed forest species become so diverse in colour, form and behaviour?  What is the everyday life of the hens and roosters that surround us?

Battery-farmed in Brazilian hangars, raised outdoors in the English countryside, in Filipino combat training centers, in survivalists’ bunkers or on New York’s roofs, chickens can live many different lives.

This documentary will explore the world of mankind and chickens in order to unveil the mysteries of the unprecedented success of this unassuming bird.

The main hero is an art thief who signs up for the mobster’s order to steal the Golden Head from the municipal museum.  But suddenly another thief appears hired by the rival mafia group.  This creeper Gekkona from under Orl’s nose has stolen the key which opened the treasure where the Golden Head was kept.  In chase of the halidom Orl and Gekkona fall in love with each other and give their clients the push.

Craftsmen, helpers and volunteers are busy building a monastery in town without the modern tools of the 21st century.  Rather than tractors with easy loading and unloading mechanisms, oxen are being used to carry heavy loads of stones.  The woods are being chopped with an axe instead of a wood chipper and from the smithy you can hear the sound of an anvil.

Building a living historical site with the aid of staff dressed in period costumes is a totally new and ambitious project.  By portraying construction, everyday life and the monastic culture of the Carolingian times – a period setting stage for our common medieval heritage – in the microcosm of an almost autonomous abbey, the inhabitants of Meßkirch will have the prestige of bringing the medieval times into the 21st century.

For centuries, the Plan of Saint Gall has inspired a vast number of architects and even more historians.  Yet, it had never before been realised – until today.  Welcome back to the Dark Ages!

An award-winning 3D ‘aerial adventure’ from hot air balloons that unveils the splendor and beauty of a mysterious land – Burma.  An international balloonist group first visited Myanmar in 1998.  Undeterred by critical press reports about the military regime, they wanted to get a bird’s-eye view of the country – to see for themselves what was actually going on.  They have been coming every year since, for the last thirteen years, and first encounters have turned into lasting friendships.

The unique mechanism of the mosquito’s proboscis inspired “pain-free needles.”  The structure of dragonfly wings contributed to a wind-powered generator.  With over 400 million years in the race for survival, insects embody technology that is amazing and was once unimaginable to humans.  But now, cutting-edge technology unlocks this mystery, and practical application of “bug technology” is underway.  The program takes full advantage of 4K cameras, macro imagery, and high-speed cameras to reveal the amazing mechanisms of bugs.

Join the navigators of the show, a comedic duo of a bugologist and his assistant, in this exciting and entertaining science program for the whole family.

Seen by millions worldwide, Black Holes: the Other Side of Infinity features high-resolution visualizations of cosmic phenomena, working with data generated by computer simulations, to bring the current science of black holes to the dome screen.  Audiences will be dazzled with striking, immersive animations of the formation of the early universe, star birth and death, the collision of giant galaxies, and a simulated flight to a super-massive black hole lurking at the center of our own Milky Way galaxy.

Bicho the lovely alien is strolling through the universe, finally coming to earth.  On his way he has to pass different experiences, and nobody expects the final end of the movie.  Promised!

Scientific research suggests that our neurochemistry opens the door to cognitive learning through emotional and right-brain engagement, and without creating this deeper, memorable experience, the human brain does not learn.  Humans absorb what they feel not what they are taught, and this is what drives action.  After one Bella Gaia show, NASA funded survey results show a 90% conversion rate in audiences reporting a greater understanding of our earth, and a more than doubling in the response of people who feel a more personal relationship with the Earth in their personal lives (31% -> 64%).

Bella Gaia captures the Overview Effect*, using satellite imagery of Earth, time lapses, cultural heritage footage, NASA data visualizations, dance, and an award-winning customized musical score to present a spectacular journey around the planet that illuminates the connections between natural systems and human activities through an immersive storytelling method threaded by an orbiting flight path from the International Space Station.  

Bella Gaia transforms complex scientific data into an accessible audio-visual experience to expand public understanding of global challenges we face and inspire audiences to act as stewards for our shared resources. 

A “Living Atlas” journey of our planet, Bella Gaia creates a direct experience and connection with the creative forces of Earth.  Bella Gaia‘s powerful methodology transcends politics or belief systems and has been proven so effective that astronauts say the experience is an accurate simulation of space flight, NASA funds Bella Gaia‘s education program on Earth Science & Environmental Responsibility, and climate change skeptics have been converted after seeing one show.  

The Bella Gaia program offers customized solo or ensemble performances, often paired with online engagement activities and educational workshops to deepen cognitive learning.  In live presentations to over 200,000 individuals of all ages worldwide, audience members report that the Bella Gaia experience leads to a significant change in their personal perspective of Earth and a better grasp of how humans impact it.

An acclaimed, intimate look at one beaver family and their aquatic habitat which puts a remarkably human face on these amazing creatures’ emotions.

Most will never experience the exhilaration of seeing a half-ton-grizzly bear in the wild — but now people of all ages are daring to get closer than ever before to some of the largest predators on the planet.

From the safety of giant-screen theaters worldwide, of course. 

From black bears in Montana to polar bears in the arctic, the National Wildlife Federation’s fourth giant-screen film, Bears, features a fresh view of these powerful, majestic and often misunderstood animals in the full glory of their natural habitat, and highlights the universal threats to bear populations.

They form hunting parties of four to ten, usually in the late morning hours, with each jackal having a specific role.

Once the prey is subdued, the incredible “mobbing” takes place: simultaneously, up to 70 individual surge forward.  This triggers a freeding frenzy … and makes the original hunters unable to protect their prey.  Despite this specialisation, a hunt is successful only 13% of the time … indicating just how hard it is to be a Black-backed jackal on the Skeleton Coast.

Through the eyes of researchers Ingrid Viesel and Eric Murray, the film explores all aspect of jackals lives: their dens behind the dunes, their litter, heir division of labor, their social interaction and communications.  By following two different packs, the story delves into the complex dynamics of the individual jackals as they continually struggle for position and dominance.

By revealing the seal-mobbing new behavior and the reasons behind it, the film solves the riddle of a collective switch from scavenging to hunting, and documents its social consequences.

Cool Cities is an immersive global journey that explores how science and technology together with a cultural renaissance are opening the door to a sustainable future in many of the world’s most iconic mega-cities.  The film will offer a practical vision for more livable cities that all people of all continents can connect with and be part of.  We will showcase the human stories and real solutions that provide hope for a planet that cannot only survive, but thrive for countless generations to come.

The show opens with the first era of space exploration in the late 1960s and early 1970s.  We see what that era of landers and orbiters taught us about our nearest neighbor including the discovery of the Moon’s origin, composition, structure, and the accessibility of raw materials on its surface.
