Stressed? Burnt out? You’re not alone! With black humour and biting irony, we get the incredible story of how modern working life became its own worst enemy – and what we can do to change it. Burnout, endless meetings and colourful Post-It notes with empty marketing phrases have hijacked meaningful work. How did we get there? Based on a sabotage manual developed during World War II, John Webster’s wildly entertaining and deeply upsetting film demonstrates how modern work has become a monster that devours itself – and everyone else around it. Without losing sight of the system’s human toll, the film speaks directly to a current agenda about how and how much we should actually work. And fortunately for all of us, there actually is a solution. At the heart of the film, we sit in with a group of successful business people as they come together to share their stories of burning out – and how they got on in life. Most people will no doubt be able to relate to much of ‘The Happy Worker’, and have a good, much-needed laugh about how it got this far.
Ben Stiller tells the story of his parents, comedy icons Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, exploring their impact on both popular culture and at home, where the lines between creativity, family, life and art often blurred. In the process, Stiller turns the camera on himself and his family to examine Jerry and Anne’s enormous influence on their lives, and the generational lessons that we can all learn from those we love.
由获奖导演、作家兼制作人Frederic Lumiere利用多达上千小时的档案和拍摄素材、从未公布的日记、国会图书馆的录音资料为历史频道History Channel制作的10集高清纪录片透过在二战中邂逅的一群人的眼睛，以高清彩色画面讲述了二战的故事。 这场文明之间最大的冲突已被无数次提及。一个法国人在德国士兵们从凯旋门下行进时情不自禁地哭泣、美军在摺钵山竖起旗帜、蘑菇云在广岛上空升起等都是让人“眼熟能详”的画面。历史频道用最新的技术和自己的方式重现了这段历史（2009年秋上映），为此观众们等了半个世纪之久。利用高清全彩画面、 1500小时经过恢复的档案资料和新拍摄的影像素材、此前从未公布的日记和记录以及国会图书馆音频资料，历史频道为观众打开了一个了解这场战争的独特窗口，让观众透过那些在二战中邂逅的一群人的眼睛来审视这场战争。在历史上或历史频道的记载里从来没有一个电视节目能如此生动地捕捉到这场改变世界的战争中极致的恐怖、不屈不挠的精神、平凡琐事以及无上辉煌的荣誉。 这是历史频道至今最为雄心勃勃的纪录片，而且在接受《好莱坞报道》采访时，历史频道称它会“让人感到叹为观止”。作为这部纪录片的制作人兼导演，我自然忙得不可开交。如果只待在工作室里做这个项目肯定无法达到历史频道的目标。我得转战诺曼底、纽约，甚至更多地方。因为跨越多个时区而且各地相距甚远，这个项目更加需要一个可控的工作流程。 历史频道的《WWII in HD》由获奖导演和剪辑师、业界公认的高清制作和后期制作领域的领导人物Frederic Lumiere制作和执导。制作过《The Magic of Fatima》等作品的Lumiere推动了RED数字摄影机的发展并创建了Lumiere HD。 《WWII in HD》由Lou Reda Productions及Lou Reda共同制作，Scott Reda为执行制作人，制作人为Liz Reph和Frederic Lumiere。
Towering over the Alps, Mont Blanc has enraptured mountain climbers, athletes and tourists, all of whom are drawn to the beauty and the challenges the peak offers. It has become a mecca as a proving ground for extreme-sports enthusiasts, but incredible danger lies on the steep slopes. Here, we witness the journey of conquering the mountain from two perspectives: a skier recovering from injury hopes she can brave the summit; and a mountain rescuer works saving lives while maintaining a personal goal of traversing the entire range—in 24 hours. Incredible footage captures both the wide scope of these intimidating pursuits, as well as up-close personal views that keep us right in the action. With the ice melting as a result of climate change, these journeys may be some of the last possible on one of Earth’s mightiest mountains.
