Vynes na horu svoj hrob

The Himalayan mountain Makalu, located in Nepal, is the fifth highest mountain in the world. In 1973, a Czechoslovak expedition also attempted to climb it via the challenging route, the so-called South Pillar, but it ended tragically. The group of climbers led by the experienced Ivan Kaščák (real-life Ivan Gálfy) is composed of the fittest men. In the base camp and during the preparation of the advanced camps, the expedition struggles with common health problems - a sore tooth, intestinal problems or a cold. For the actual climb to the summit of Makalu, Kaščák chooses a young engineering student Milan, a colleague Karol who is a generation older than him, and a young man Jož. In the advanced camp, without Kaščák's knowledge, he gives up his place to the ambitious Karol. However, due to fatigue and lack of oxygen, Milan falls down a snowy slope and injures his head and spine. He can‘t be transported down.

Global Groove

Global Groove was a collaborative piece by Nam June Paik and John Godfrey. Paik, amongst other artists who shared the same vision in the 1960s, saw the potential in the television beyond it being a one-sided medium to present programs and commercials. Instead, he saw it more as a place to facilitate a free flow of information exchange. He wanted to strip away the limitations from copyright system and network restrictions and bring in a new TV culture where information could be accessed inexpensively and conveniently. The full length of the piece ran 28 minutes and was first broadcasted in January 30, 1974 on WNET.

Metin

Berlin, end of the 70s. Six-year-old Metin lives in Kreuzberg. He is Turkish and at the age of six he already has a lot to do. He is not yet at school and his parents both work. Most of the time Metin is alone and has to go shopping, look after his little sister and help out around the house. Anne, a German girl of the same age, has just moved into the front building. She makes friends with Metin and he, who knows his way around, shows her Kreuzberg. The two find the language difficulties more comical than divisive. However, their friendship meets with little understanding on both sides. The Turkish children don't like Anne and the Germans don't want to play with Metin. So they mostly keep to themselves. The situation becomes increasingly difficult, but then Anna has a great idea of how to shake up the prejudices on both sides - at least for a while.

The Cousteau Odyssey: The Nile Part 1

During a 9-month trip, the Cousteau team will explore the longest river on the planet: the Nile. It flows north to the Mediterranean, crosses half a continent and over 7000 years of history. On its shores, civilizations have built marvels of architecture. Kingdoms rose and then fell, each person's destiny still intimately linked to that of the river... without anyone having mastered it. The Calypso team studies life around the Nile, which has remained almost unchanged since the time of the pharaohs.
