In Theatre of Thought film director Werner Herzog ventures deep into the most unknown place in the universe: the human brain. With customary exuberance and an eye for offbeat detail, he seeks out some of the world’s brightest scientists, Nobel Prize-winning experts, and brain surgeons to feed his insatiable curiosity. Are we living in a fantasy? Will we ever be able to talk to other species? Can prosthetics be controlled by the power of thought? And how does our imagination work in general? Rarely has neuroscience, quantum physics, and artificial intelligence been explained in such a witty, engaging, and thought-provoking way.
Lonely Oaks (German title: Vergiss Meyn Nicht) is a powerful, provocative documentary from the heart of environmental activism in Germany. For over a decade, environmental activists occupied an ancient forest in western Germany, which the energy company RWE planned to clear. In 2018, the police attempted to take down over 50 tree houses in an operation court later declared illegal. In the course of the evictions, a tragic accident occurred: Steffen Meyn, who was filming the events at the site, fell from a treehouse and died. Lonely Oaks blends footage Steffen Meyn left behind with a meta-commentary by fellow activists from Hambach Forest.
