《掬水月在手》记录了中国古典诗词大师叶嘉莹（1924-）传奇的人生。她一生历经战乱、政治迫害、海外飘零，晚年回归改革开放的中国，持续创作、传承教学，重系文革中断的古典诗词命脉。影片交织了叶嘉莹个人生命和千年中国古典诗词，表现她在诗词长河中寻求存在的意义轨迹。《杜甫〈秋兴〉八首集说》为叶嘉莹最重要的研究代表作，〈秋兴〉八首描绘中国盛唐兴衰，本片借此隐喻叶先生经历的动荡岁月，并邀请音乐家佐藤聪明以〈秋兴〉八首为本，结合雅乐及现代乐，创作电影音乐，为杜甫诗歌带来新的生命。
"I want to give a view of the world that can only emerge by not pursuing any particular theme, by refraining from passing judgment, proceeding without aim. Drifting with no direction except one's own curiosity and intuition." (Michael Glawogger) More than two years after the sudden death of Michael Glawogger in April 2014, film editor Monika Willi realizes a film out of the film footage produced during 4 months and 19 days of shooting in the Balkans, Italy, Northwest and West Africa. A journey into the world to observe, listen and experience, the eye attentive, courageous and raw. Serendipity is the concept - in shooting as well as in editing the film.

Professor Mary Beard, renowned classicist and TV historian, is to explore what life was like in one of the world’s most extraordinary and iconic archaeological sites, in Pompeii: Life Before Death, a new landmark programme for BBC One. Mary Beard – a world Pompeii expert and author of Pompeii: Life Of A Roman Town – will be joining an international team as they bring the very latest technology to bear on this most extraordinary of archaeological sites. Mary Beard says: “This is a really exciting chance to find out more about the ordinary people who lived in ancient Pompeii. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity. I'm hoping we're going to unlock some if the secrets about who the people were.” For the first time, a team is CT scanning and fully investigating the world-famous casts of the bodies to analyse the skeletons trapped within, to ascertain all they can about who they were, where they came from and how they lived. A team is also conducting DNA analysis of the bodies for the first time. Elsewhere, the documentary will follow the work of recovering damaged frescoes and mosaics, the excavation and rebuilding of certain key buildings and the organisation and cataloguing of the thousands of astonishing artefacts in the storerooms – from loaves of bread to pet monkeys, paint pots to purses. It will shine a light on the work of archaeologists who are exploring the third of the town that has never been excavated, and will present a unique first look at the complete Pompeii in stunning CGI. Using the evidence gleaned from all this research, the BBC One film will piece together a full picture of daily life in Pompeii before the town was destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in AD79.
在智利的阿塔卡马沙漠，天文学家探寻宇宙以寻找生命的起源，不远处，当地的妇女正在沙丘中搜寻亲人的尸骸，他们是被皮诺切特独裁政权随意处置和杀害的。导演帕特里克·古兹曼将这两种关于生命的找寻并置在一起，引人深思。 这是一部在海拔3000米的Atacama沙漠拍摄的纪录片。天文学家聚集在那里观测群星。这个地方还因一个原因吸引了众多来访者：地表的干旱能使人类尸体完好无损。除了那些干尸和迷路的探险者的尸体，还有许多政治被关押在这片沙漠中而死去。影片强调了这样的两面性，将天文学家观测繁星寻找外星生命和那些支离破碎的家庭寻找亲人对比。所以影片的政治层面很清晰。 幕后制作 导演帕特里克·古兹曼的每一部影片都和20世纪智利国家的回忆有关：从他在1975年戛纳影展平行竞赛单元放映的《智利之战》三部曲开始，一直到在2004年非竞赛单元放映的《萨尔瓦多·阿兰德》。《故乡之光》也延续了这一主题，影片面向未来（群星），同时不忘为了赢得独立的代价和那段充满鲜血的痛苦的过去。
