The Giant Oarfish, the largest bony fish in the world, was known only by rare examples that died by stranding, as well as one sole fossil. Its extraordinary dimensions, as long as 15 meters, and shape in the form of a silver ribbon, inspired the myth of the sea serpent. For the past two years, scientific buoys, immersed at a depth of two thousand meters in the Mediterranean, off the French Riviera, have attracted countless species of pelagic fish among them, the Giant Oarfish drifting vertically, alone or by pairs. With the help of the world expert in Giant Oarfish and logistic collaboration of enthusiasts, a scientific expedition reveals the biology of this enigmatic ambassador of the abyss. Entirely shot in Ultra High Definition, the film raises the veil on its paradoxical habits: why do all the adults self-mutilate and rid themselves of two-thirds of their bodies without being affected? How do they meet in the immensity of the ocean? Why does this fish not have any known predators?

从春天到冬天,从北到南,中国人讲究“不时不食”。在正确的时间食用正确的食物,不仅反映了中国人对于二十四节气自然律法的尊重,在其背后更有深层的文化原因。纪录电影《味道中国》通过20多个关于食物的故事,讲述了食物对于中国人不仅是果腹之物,更是礼仪的体现和感情的纽带。此部纪录电影是我国第一部在电影院上映的美食纪录片。

The IMAX "Cosmic Voyage" film was made as a public service with sponsorship by the Smithsonian Air and Space museum. On DVD, borrowed from my local public library, it plays at just over 30 minutes with Morgan Freeman supplying a pleasing narrative. As one would expect from an IMAX film, the image quality is superb and the Dolby 5.1 sound track is very well done. Simulated cosmic explosions shake your walls! That is, if you have a good powered subwoofer in your system. The film takes a very useful approach to examining the size of the universe, from tiny sub-atomic particles to the vastness of the whole universe. (Fortunately, when God created the Universe he had dispatched a few angels with video cameras at different vantage points so we get to see actual footage from several billion years ago.) The film starts in Venice, where the discovery of the telescope originated, and uses a one-meter hoop as a reference point, then gradually goes larger by powers of 10, e.g. 10 meters, 100, 1000, etc until we can see the whole universe. Then it takes the opposite journey, going smaller by powers of 10 until be see inside sub-atomic particles. The story is well-woven with beautiful effects created especially for this film. It is entertaining and educational at the same time. All of "oldsters" can enjoy it for the scientific history we are already familiar with, and all the "youngsters" can enjoy it for the educational supplement it provides. Overall a masterful film. Any numerical "rating" of "Cosmic Voyage" is meaningless. If one is looking for a superb film about our universe and modern theories of its formation, this one is hard to beat. Kudos to IMAX and to the Air and Space Museum. 肉眼只能看见穹苍一角。凝视夜空,但见繁星点点,偶尔一颗流星划破夜空,但你可曾看见恒星死亡前的最后爆发?瞪视双手,你或会看见点点尘垢,但你又可曾看见组成皮肤的原子在颤动?因为眼不能见,我们只能纵驰想像,去探索这个深邃广阔的宇宙。 本片获第六十九届奥斯卡金像奖最佳纪录短片提名.

影片讲述了中国早期摇滚人侯牧人的女儿侯祖辛,带着导演身份诚挚纪录中国摇滚人三十年来的沉浮与坚持。是父亲也是主角的侯牧人身患脑梗,这种病会反复发作,使肢体瘫痪或眩晕,严重的会导致急性昏迷,甚至死亡!可怀揣着摇滚音乐人的执着和热血,侯牧人奇迹般的坚持了下来。 影片结尾时,侯牧人唱起他在脑梗后写的第一首歌《像个傻逼一样的活着》时,台下观众泪流满面,就连一向沉默寡言的张楚也流下了泪水。当老炮们听到那些音乐,想起那些往事的时候,重燃心中的情怀,正应了片尾的那句话:“老去的只是身体,而非灵魂”。
