Sinopsis
In 1919 an art school opened in Germany that would change the world forever. It was called the Bauhaus. A century later, its radical thinking still shapes our lives today. Bauhaus 100 is the story of Walter Gropius, architect and founder of the Bauhaus, and the teachers and students he gathered to form this influential school. Traumatised by his experiences during the Great War, and determined that technology should never again be used for destruction, Gropius decided to reinvent the way art and design were taught. At the Bauhaus, all the disciplines would come together to create the buildings of the future, and define a new way of living in the modern world.
Acostumbrada a la tranquilidad de Illinois donde tiene su residencia, la Dra. Kate Forester se traslada a un ajetreado hospital de Chicago. Lo que más la duele es desprenderse de su preciosa casa de madera con unas enormes ventanas que dan al lago. Pero se la alquila a un desconocido, al que deja una nota pidiéndole que le reenvíe el correo a la nueva dirección. Alex Wyler, el nuevo inquilino, es un frustrado arquitecto con mucho talento que tiene una conexión especial con la casa.
Realizado entre los años 1975 y 1982, "Koyaanisqatsi" -primera parte de lo que sería luego una trilogía formada por Koyaanisqatsi (1982), Powaqqatsi (1988) y Naqoyqatsi (2002)- es un singular documental que refleja la colisión entre dos mundos obligados a convivir: por un lado la vida de los hombres en la sociedad moderna, la vida urbana y occidental, llena de tecnología, ciencia y consumismo. Por otro la naturaleza y el medio ambiente del planeta Tierra. Sin voz humana, tan sólo con el poder de las imágenes y la banda sonora minimalista de Philip Glass, Godfrey Reggio presentó este documental ante 5000 personas el 4 de Octubre de 1982 en el Radio City Hall de Nueva York, convirtiéndose al instante en un documental de culto.

A costume designer is sent to the Catskills for an interactive theatre piece set in the 1920s. When she arrives things seem dark, strange and off. She soon realizes she is part of a student film.
Estructurada en tres partes (Creación, Paraíso y La era dorada) y rodada en el desierto del Sahara, esta es sin duda la película menos convencional del director alemán. Sin argumento ni guión determinado, Herzog nos regala una serie de imágenes, palabras y música que funcionan conjuntamente dando un resultado singular. La sensación resultante viene reforzada por una banda sonora con temas de Leonard Cohen, Mozart o la Third Ear Band
Profesor en una escuela de idiomas, cuando el horario laboral ha terminado, Carlos se pasea por la zona de cruising de Montjuïc. Allí encontrará a Toni, uno de sus estudiantes, un chico que parece distinto a todos los demás y por el que Carlos comenzará a sentir atracción, dando pie a una cinta con una envolvente banda sonora de Don the Tiger.
In this short film Bert Haanstra gives his vision - from the water – of a tranquil Holland. During filming he held the camera upside down and afterwards put the images ‘up right’ again in the film. By doing this, we see the ‘usual’ waterfront, but transformed by the rippling of the water. In this way Mirror of Holland became a modern looking experimental film. However this did not devalue the Dutch sentiment regarding waterfronts that are so trusted to so many.
This short film made by László Moholy-Nagy is based on the shadow patterns created by his Light-Space Modulator, an early kinetic sculpture consisting of a variety of curved objects in a carefully choreographed cycle of movements. Created in 1930, the film was originally planned as the sixth and final part of a much longer work depicting the new space-time.
A visual representation, in four parts, of one man's internalization of "The Divine Comedy." Hell is a series of multicolored brush strokes against a white background; the speed of the changing images varies. "Hell Spit Flexion," or springing out of Hell, is on smaller film stock, taking the center of the frame. Montages of color move rapidly with a star and the edge of a lighted moon briefly visible. Purgation is back to full frame; blurs of color occasionally slow down then freeze. From time to time, an image, such as a window or a face, is distinguishable for a moment. In "existence is song," colors swirl then flash in and out of view. Behind the vivid colors are momentary glimpses of volcanic activity.
Inspirado en el documental soviético "Kino-Nedelia" (1918) de Dziga Vertov, Ruttmann realizó en 1927, contando con los mejores fotógrafos alemanes de la época, un documental basado en la vida, durante un día, de la ciudad de Berlín.
An experimental film comprised of Stanley Kubrick's THE SHINING played forwards and backwards at the same time on the same screen, creating bizarre juxtapositions and startling synchronicities
This hand-painted work is easily the most minutely detailed ever given to me to do, for it traces (as best I'm able) the hypnagogic after-effect of psychological cathexis as designed by Freud in his first (and unfinished) book on the subject - "Toward a Scientific Psychology." (SB)
A montage of the skyscrapers of Manhattan opens with a succession of stationary views of the upper portions of numerous buildings. This is followed by a wide variety of fluid shots, which also begin to show more and more of the surrounding city, in addition to the skyscrapers themselves.
A tilted figure, consisting largely of right angles at the beginning, grows by accretion, with the addition of short straight lines and curves which sprout from the existing design. The figure vanishes and the process begins again with a new pattern, each cycle lasting one or two seconds. The complete figures are drawn in a vaguely Art Deco style and could be said to resemble any number of things, an ear, a harp, panpipes, a grand piano with trombones, and so on, only highly stylized. The tone is playful and hypnotic.
La Virgen María da a luz a un Jesús ya adulto que desde el primer momento se encuentra a disgusto en la Tierra y clama al cielo tratando de que su Padre atienda sus quejas. A lomos de un burro, Jesús emprende sin ninguna convicción su camino para, con la ayuda de un megáfono, tratar de difundir su mensaje en un mundo permanentemente hostil que no quiere escucharle.
