RELEASE: THEATRICAL

Just imagine that vegetables in your supermarket are alive and live their natural life providing us with fresh and healthy greenery but … Until genetic mutated vegetable from the future comes.

Imagine yourself lying in the grass in the countryside on a beautiful summer night, watching the stars … This odyssey through the beauty and mystery of the cosmos is accompanied by a mesmerizing soundtrack composed of selected symphonic works by Philip Glass.  Audiences will feel as though they’ve been catapulted through the Earth’s atmosphere and into space, where they’ll find themselves marveling at the endless wonders of the Universe.

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.

Welcome to Paris, City of Light, 19th Century!  A new tourist attraction is about to open its doors: the Catacombs.  Travel back in time, and become the first visitor to discover the world famous underground cemetery located beneath the city’s streets … This 3D/4D film is targeted at theme parks and FEC’s, around Halloween or any other scary occasion!

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.

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.

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.

Stunning inside look at a land more like another planet than another country.  Includes a rare natural event that happens only once every hundred years: the formation of a giant inland ocean out of nowhere in the middle of the harshest desert outback.

In March 2015, a team from the Montreal Rio Tinto Alcan Planetarium travelled to Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories to spend many frigid nights filming no fewer than 179,000 images of the northern lights in 360°.  The crew had the perfect conditions to observe these shimmering waves of light beneath a clear sky far from sources of light pollution.  In these northern regions, aurorae borealis are visible 240 nights a year on average.

The Aurora is the greatest wonder a human can experience in nature.

Now, you can experience the actual aurora with the world’s first 4K x 4K real-time VR video.

Animations and CG were used to depict auroral myths and science behind the aurora.

The show is about the life cycle of Stars.  From the birth of star in a stellar nursery to its journey towards a black hole or supernova, Astralis explains these phenomena in a very easy narrative.  With the eye catchy visuals and lovely music, the show works for all age groups including school audience.
