Egypt pod rímskou nadvládou, 4. storočie n. l. Príbeh skutočnej ženy, Hypatie z Alexandrie, prvej ženy filozofky a astronómky západného sveta. Hypatia (Rachel Weisz) je pohanskou filozofkou. Jej dychtivosť po vedomostiach je bezodná, jej múdrosť je zdrojom úcty i závisti. Na kulisách kresťanského povstania stojí Hypatia, ktorá vkladá celú dušu do snahy zachrániť vekmi požehnanú múdrosť starovekého sveta prežívajúcu v Alexandrijskej knižnici. Druhý príbeh rozpovie Hypatiin otrok Davus (Max Minghella), ktorý sa do svojej výnimočne bystrej a príťažlivej panej zamiluje. Davusa tlačia z oboch strán mlynské kamene jeho tajnej lásky k Hypatii a predstavy slobody, čo by mohol získať pripojením ku kresťanskému hnutiu. Nad obomi sa sťahujú búrkové mračná ťažkého zápasu. Tento zápas otestuje ich hodnoty, ich vôľu. A nik už z neho nevyjde nezmenený.

Nenápadný administratívny pracovník je zatknutý a postavený pred súd, ale nikdy nie je informovaný o svojich obvineniach. Adaptácia Kafkovho románu od Orsona Wellesa.
Angela Su’s fictional artist Rosie Leavers is the last remaining person to upload her consciousness to a video game. Contemplating during a pandemic year which also saw people’s resistance movements in many parts of the world, the work pinpoints the uncanny affinities between gaming and warfare strategies. They have mutually informed the infrastructure of both worlds since time immemorial when diplomatic conflicts played out on the battlefield of the 64 squares of a chess board to flight simulation technologies which were adapted to shape gaming experiences as we know it now. When the conflict is between the state and its people, she speculates that gaming strategies empower civilians in resistance movements to counter imperialism through its own operative logic. But once we upload our consciousness, are we able to return to the sensibilities and political motivation that inspired the revolution to begin with?
Arguing that advertising not only sells things, but also ideas about the world, media scholar Sut Jhally offers a blistering analysis of commercial culture's inability to let go of reactionary gender representations. Jhally's starting point is the breakthrough work of the late sociologist Erving Goffman, whose 1959 book The Presentation of the Self in Everyday Life prefigured the growing field of performance studies. Jhally applies Goffman's analysis of the body in print advertising to hundreds of print ads today, uncovering an astonishing pattern of regressive and destructive gender codes. By looking beyond advertising as a medium that simply sells products, and beyond analyses of gender that tend to focus on either biology or objectification, The Codes of Gender offers important insights into the social construction of masculinity and femininity, the relationship between gender and power, and the everyday performance of cultural norms.
Sometimes, the truth is overridden by self-interest.
Based on documents compiled by leading French philosopher Michel Foucault, this unique and original film charts the gruesome events which took place in a Normandy village in 1835, when a young man, Pierre Rivière, murdered his mother, sister and brother before fleeing to the countryside. With a cast made up of real-life villagers from the area where the events took place, the detailed re-enactments and careful attention to the gestures of their ancestors serve to create an intense and sometimes disturbing atmosphere of hyper-realism. Details of the crime and of the trial that followed are told from varied perspectives, including the written confession of Pierre himself, and form a rich and complex narrative that interrogates the concepts of “truth” and “history”.
