Molti secoli prima del nostro, in un tempo a cavallo tra la fine dell'era della magia e l'inizio dell'era del progresso, le creature magiche sono minacciate e il loro declino sembra ormai prossimo. Gli unici a resistere sono i draghi. L'equilibrio del mondo è affidato a quattro maghi fratelli e ai loro quattro draghi. Carolinus, il mago della natura, con il suo drago Gorbash. Lotazar, il mago della luce e dell'aria, con il suo drago Shin-tzu. Solarius, il mago dell'acqua, dello spazio e delle altezze, con il suo drago Lunarian. E infine Omadan il mago di tutto ciò che è malvagio e mostruoso, con il suo drago Briagr. Carolinus, spaventato per quanto sta per accadere, convoca i tre fratelli presso il palazzo delle Antichità, esseri forti e potenti creatori di tutto ciò che è stato, che è e che sarà.

In the process of his experiments he suffers radiation poisoning, loses his vision and alienates his partner, who leaves him. But in his obsession he finds clarity and the key to understanding our reality. There is one final test he must perform.

Scopri il magico mondo dei miceti, dai saprofiti che ripuliscono gli sversamenti di petrolio alle reti di funghi sotterranee che aiutano gli alberi a comunicare.

Spaziando dalle ultime scoperte ai limiti etici della scienza, questo documentario descrive una rivelazione nella ricerca sulle mutazioni genetiche chiamata CRISPR.

When a data analyst receives a cryptic email and phone call he begins to doubt his reality.

Un'ora e un quarto su un pianeta sconosciuto: la Terra riscoperta su scala di un centimetro. I suoi abitanti: creature fantastiche, insetti ed altri esseri viventi in mezzo all'erba e nell'acqua. La sua campagna: una foresta impenetrabile di ciuffi d'erba, gocce di rugiada grosse come palloni. Questa è l'esplorazione di un nuovo mondo, un semplice prato, durante un giorno d'estate: un giorno, una notte e l'alba di un secondo giorno. Un singolo giorno è paragonabile a un'intera stagione in questo microcosmo. Un intero periodo di vita dove, come per gli insetti, l'arco di una vita si misura in settimane.

A large iron meteorite is found by two enthusiasts. But who owns it? A subtle film about property rights that develops into a philosophical and slightly absurd story.

The Estonian national team is the first Baltic team to participate in the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge, the solar car world championship in Australia. This is a competition with a 35-year history, which has been launched to push the boundaries of both green technology and the capabilities of young talents. The documentary follows young Estonian engineers and software developers and tells the story through their eyes of how the solar car is developed, built and prepared for the challenge in one of the most complex competitions in the world. Young people have to face tough competition conditions, technical and mental challenges and competitors from the world's top universities.

When the Tanana River bridge was installed in Salcha, Alaska, the community worried about the levee's effects on fish wildlife. Salcha Elementary School, along with the help of Tanana Valley Watershed Association, conducted a 10-year scientific project with students to study the effects the levee had on Piledriver Slough. Tori Brannan - the filmmaker's mother - is a retired principal at Salcha Elementary and was the project's centerpiece. She shares her experiences with the project, the community, and how her daughter's involvement strengthened their relationship.

Are we becoming Plastic People? Our ground-breaking feature documentary investigates our addiction to plastic and the growing threat of microplastics on human health. Almost every bit of plastic ever made ends up ground down into "microplastics". These microscopic particles drift in the air, float in the water and sit in the soil. And now, leading scientists are finding them in our bodies: organs, blood, brain tissue and even the placentas of new mothers. What is the impact of these invisible invaders on our health? Ziya Tong, author and science journalist, makes it personal by visiting leading scientists and undergoing experiments in her home, on her food, and on her body.

Melvin and Buddy are two space-exploring pups on a mission. Scarfing down facts like dog biscuits is their plan, but they can't learn about all the topics that interest them without some help. That's where Professor Brain comes in. He's the T-Rex with the mega brain-flex. Climb aboard for all the intergalactic fact-finding fun.

A desktop documentary that focuses on the Golden Record that NASA sent into space in the late 1970s. The piece reflects on issues such as the power of scientific discourse to produce revisions of the world, the evolution of the concept of the archive and the resignification of borders in the rhetoric of space colonialism.

Rat Brain is a documentary that highlights Dr. John D. Douglass and his team's research at Seattle Pacific University on chronic stress' neurological impact, striving to uncover its link to suicidal behavior. Their work navigates ethical dilemmas while aiming to showcase vital insights into mental health and suicide prevention.

Archaeologists generally regard Mesopotamia as "the beginning of civilization" but shocking new evidence that defies comprehension clearly suggests that highly advanced civilizations existed in pre-history. With new advanced technology, archaeologists are now able to image undiscovered worlds before our own from above. The truth to mankind's true origins is being rapidly revealed to be very different than what we've been told.

After ignoring death for most of our history, the medical and scientific communities have begun to focus their attention on how our bodies behave on our journey to the great beyond. Often seen as an event, dying is actually a process, which, in some cases, can be stopped or reversed. Even after someone is clinically dead, life in many parts of our bodies carries on for hours, days, or even weeks.

On April 18, 1955, the pathologist performing the autopsy on Albert Einstein covertly steals the genius's brain, hoping to uncover the secret of brilliance. His good intentions and scientific ambitions collide with harsh realities as his world crumbles.

They have no roots, no seeds, no flowers, but mosses show immense survival capacities and can suspend their biological activity for long periods. Today, researchers are exploring the exceptional resistance of these archaic organisms. British ecologists have even resurrected a "zombie" moss that has been trapped in the permafrost for 1,500 years. Associated with decay and disliked in Europe, mosses are deified in Japan. With 25,000 species worldwide, bryophytes - their scientific name - are the seat of real ecosystems, and can develop in inhospitable landscapes, through an extravagant reproduction cycle.

"Swamp Woman", is the story of Dr. Angela Honeydew whom possesses a scientific breakthrough serum that allows animals to genetically combine with their surroundings whether they are living or inanimate.
