Explorer
Cinematography
A Sir Ranulph Fiennes se le atribuye el mérito de ser el explorador vivo más grande del mundo. Entre sus logros extraordinarios, fue el primero en circunnavegar el mundo de polo a polo, cruzó la Antártida a pie, rompió innumerables récords mundiales y descubrió una ciudad perdida en Arabia. Ha viajado a los lugares más peligrosos de la Tierra, perdió la mitad de sus dedos por congelación, recaudó millones de libras para obras de caridad y casi fue elegido como James Bond. Pero, ¿quién es el hombre que prefiere ser conocido simplemente como 'Ran'?

Nazi Titanic
Cinematography
During a bizarre chapter of WWII, Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels decided to make a movie based on the sinking of the Titanic. This epic film was so large in scale that the Nazis were forced to divert men, material and ships from the war effort in order to complete it. Titanic was filmed aboard cruise ship SS Cap Arcona in the Baltic Sea. The movie’s director Herbert Selpin was arrested by the Gestapo over comments he made about the ship’s crew and he was questioned by Goebbels. Selpin was found dead the next day in his cell. The Gestapo’s verdict was suicide. Titanic never received the impressive premiere that Goebbels intended, being first shown in Nazi-occupied Paris in 1943. We reveal this little known but fascinating story by looking at the making of the film, as well as the fate of the German ship Cap Arcona.
