TimeScape, é o primeiro do mundo em tecnologia 4k. A empreitada quem financiou foi o compositor e empresário neozelandês Nigel “John” Stanford, que forneceu a Tom Lowe uma câmera digital MX Red 4K. A multinacional japonesa Canon patrocinou a produção, fornecendo Lentes 5.6K 5D Mark II e DSLRs. O filme apresenta em câmera lenta e impressionante cinematografia timelapse paisagens, pessoas e a vida selvagem da América do Sul. Para rodá-lo, Lowe passou 2 anos vagando em sua caminhonete Toyota pelo continente. A produção, naturalmente, envolveu muitas dificuldades, como passar 250 noites ao ar livre, dormindo no chão, sem barracas, sob as estrelas e ao lado de sua câmera, enquanto o timelapse estava sendo capturado. A tecnologia 4k, utilizada no filme, permite a altíssima definição de 4096 x 2160 pixels.

Four exceptional astronomers celebrate 50 years of work and friendship on a return road trip in the southwestern United States, recapturing youthful adventures and recounting each other's influences on the most exciting period in astronomy’s history. Roger the instrument-maker, Donald the theoretician, Nick the visionary, and Wal the observer. Together they represent the most productive period astronomy has ever had. They helped build the world’s biggest observatories and made revolutionary discoveries about the evolving universe, discoveries that have the power to change the way humanity sees itself. Alison Rose’s film is a funny, insightful, humbling and intimate portrait of friendship, as the men reflect on how their profound work on the universe has reflected back on the individual, affecting their sense of religious faith, how life may have purpose, and what is knowable and unknowable.

Shot on 16mm celluloid across parts of New Zealand and Samoa, interdisciplinary artist Sam Hamilton’s ten-part experimental magnum opus makes thought-provoking connections between life on Earth and the cosmos, and, ultimately, art and science. Structured around the ten most significant celestial bodies of the Milky Way, Apple Pie’s inquiry begins with the furthest point in our solar system, Pluto, as a lens back towards our home planet and the ‘mechanisms by which certain aspects of scientific knowledge are digested, appropriated and subsequently manifest within the general human complex’. Christopher Francis Schiel’s dry, functional narration brings a network of ideas about our existence into focus, while Hamilton’s visual tableaux, as an extension of his multifaceted practice, veer imaginatively between psychedelic imagery and performance art.

This series also covers the essential concepts of astronomy: gravity, the light spectrum, Earth's magnetic field, the solar system, the sun, Kepler's Law, the universal law of gravitation, the Doppler Effect, and much more!
