Fungi Kingdom

"documentary"

The documentary "Fungi Kingdom" is China's first systematic and comprehensive documentary on fungi. Over the course of two years, the production team ventured deep into primeval forests, using fungi as the narrative focus. Through the lens of a one-square-meter habitat, the ocean on land, and the concept of fungi giving rise to all things, the documentary gradually unveils the mysteries of the fungal kingdom from point, line, to plane, presenting a systematic and holistic perspective. It tells the story of the habitats within national parks—their ecology, the endless cycle of life, their diverse and fantastical nature, as well as the indispensable role fungi play in the ecosystem's cycle.

Fantastic Fungi

A vivid journey into the mysterious subterranean world of mycelium and its fruit— the mushroom. A story that begins 3.5 billion years ago, fungi makes the soil that supports life, connecting vast systems of roots from plants and trees all over the planet, like an underground Internet. Through the eyes of renowned mycologist Paul Stamets, professor of forest ecology Suzanne Simard, best selling author Michael Pollan, food naturalist Eugenia Bone and others, we experience the power, beauty and complexity of the fungi kingdom.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
