The Bass Strait is a strip of water that divides the Australian mainland from Tasmania. Knowing that wild storms make the strait twice as rough as the English Channel, sailors stand in awe of the strong currents. In a death-defying act, two Aussies and a young Californian kneeling on their boards brave the 300 km/186.5mi paddle across the Bass Strait. Their adventure lasts several days with stops on small islands along the way. Apart from sharks, currents and threatening waves, Zeb Walsh, Brad Gaul and Jack Bark face sickness, sore muscles and dehydration. Three tough minds rise to the ‘Everest of the sea’ as Aussie Molokai paddleboard athletes Zeb Walsh, Brad Gaul and Jack Bark set a world record by crossing the wild and treacherous Bass Strait between Mainland Australia and Tasmania in an 8-day paddle.

Mitu Monteiro, Cape Verdean multiple kitesurfing World Champion, attempts the first-ever solo crossing of his native archipelago’s twelve volcanic islands. Mitu’s two-week challenge is to kitesurf over 730km interspersed with 200km of island traverses on foot. His sweat will flow and his nerves will surely be put to the test as he tackles a distance of nearly 1,000km along a route that has to be plotted and re-plotted due to changing wind directions, shark-infested waters and distances that push the athlete to his limit. Mitú’s maverick journey across glorious Atlantic waters, beautiful beaches, lunar landscapes and lush vegetation is a true Kite Surfari.

With a wingspan of three meters, the Andean Condor is a master of flight who feels truly at home in rugged mountain terrain. Using thermal winds alone, the bird covers hundreds of kilometers a day and soars up to a height of nearly 5,000m above sea level. It’s capabilities make the condor a fascinating subject not only to biologists but to thermal pilots as well. If a bird can fly this way, can a paraglider do the same? This is the question that longdistance paragliding champions Hernán Pitocco and Horacio Llorens seek to answer. If they want to successfully navigate their route along a steep canyon that cuts deep into the Andes, they will have to find a suitable coastal landform with strong upwinds. An emergency landing in the desert would be disastrous but when Hernán and Horacio soar higher, a late realisation has near-fatal consequences.

Steeped in myth and history, the Kashmir Himalayas are also an area of conflict between nuclear powers India and Pakistan. Snowboarders coming to the small border ski resort of Gulmarg need both guts and great guides. Ace adventure photographer Florian Wagner takes pros Elis Elhardt, Knut Eliassen and Marc Swoboda on an exciting heliboarding trip to taste the fresh powder on the ‘Roof of the World’. Wagner has built a quadcopter that lifts his camera to 4,000m (13,123ft), but he is as deeply interested in the war-weary people who live on the ‘line of control’ as in the sublime wilderness. The highlight of a journey full of contrasts is a helicopter trip to a face called the ‘Cathedral’ where the snowboarding trio draw endless lines into exquisite powder. They experience an awesome adventure in a place where unbounded freedom and a long-standing, volatile border conflict are literally on top of each other.

Six years ago, Australian fishermen saw huge waves breaking at Pedra Branca, the southern-most land mass of Australia’s Continental Shelf. Local surfers investigated and the pictures made the surfing world shudder. It’s not just a rock. It’s not a just a wave. It is a monster at the edge of the world. Only six people have surfed it ever since. The wave is so powerful that the last two people to surf it broke their legs and were knocked unconscious. Twenty-two sailors and scientists have died there. As if that wasn’t enough to deal with, the area is also a permanent seal colony patrolled by great white sharks. Now one man, Alastair McLeod, wants to windsurf to the white rock, ride the biggest waves of his life, and windsurf back home. If he makes it, he will be the first, but it’s a long way and a lot can go wrong in one day at Pedra Branca.

He persuades fellow pros Matthias Haunholder and Phil Meier to join him. Their journey commences and it’s not easy - the only way is a 30-hour boat journey across 500km of icy ocean threatened by relentless storms. After eighteen days of travel, they eventually reach the legendary island in one piece. Their experience, team spirit and their unfazed motivation to conquer the hellish paradise played a big part in getting them there. This breathtaking HD film highlights the struggles the team went through and why they eventually requested evacuation.

PEUGEOT RETURNSTO DAKAR 2015In 2013 French car manufacturer Peugeot smashed the record for the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. For four years, from 1987 to 1990, Peugeot dominated the car class in the world’s toughest endurance race, the Paris-Dakar Rally. The 2013 success has encouraged Peugeot Sport, Red Bull and Total to join forces and take on Dakar 2015 in Argentina. This new synergy will bring 2010 winner and two-time WRC Champion, Carlos Sainz, and 11-time Dakar winner Stéphane Peterhansel together to take part in the world’s longest and toughest cross-country race. Cyril Despres, five-time Dakar bike winner will also take part – a first time for him being on four wheels instead of two.

PROJECT ACHERONHow do you boost the performance of four of the world’s most successful water sports champions? How do you push athletes who are already performing far beyond what regular training could throw at them? Australia native Dr. Andy Walshe has an idea. The former U.S. Olympic team trainer - now Red Bull’s director of high performance - has devised an out-of-the box athletic training experiment inspired by the ancient teachings of Chinese Buddhist warrior monks, also known as the Shaolin. Dr. Walshe will push his athletes to new levels as they explore their mental, physical and spiritual limits. The group will be supported by two former U.S. Navy Seals in northern Patagonia’s remotest mountain wilderness. The group embark on an endurance mission among crevace-riddled glaciers, icy fjords and jagged rocks. The scientifically monitored experiment quickly bears fruit as pain morphs into energy and soloists gel into a team. The athletes emerge deeply marked by a spiritual experience that may well give them the crucial edge in their next contest.

RED BULL KING OF THE AIR 2015‘The wind is everything,’ says Kevin Langeree, one of twentyfour top athletes in Red Bull King of the Air 2015, in South Africa. This is the third time that the freestyle kitesurfing world championship has been held in Cape Town’s Big Bay. Contestants wanting to make it to the final and claim the title of King of the Air will need more than favourable winds alone, because in each heat the jury assess style and imaginative tricks as well as height. Finalist Aaron Hadlow, Britain’s legendary kitesurfer and five-time world champion, confirms his amazing form in two Megaloop KGBs, grabbing the crown ahead of Netherlands’ Kevin Langeree and Jerrie van de Kop. Defending champion Langeree has to console himself with the ‘biggest air of the day’ awarded for his incredible 43.6ft jump.

THE RUGGED RIVER GODS – CONQUERING THE BERIMAN GORGELocated just a few degrees south of the equator, Papua New Guinea is a tapestry of virgin rainforest, unique cultures and an expansive coastline. Pouring out of its ‘Nakanai Plateau’ is the Beriman River. Over 40km in length from source to sea, it drops more than 2,000m before reaching the Solomon Sea. The Beriman Gorge’s mysterious and towering canyon walls have never before been explored. Kayakers Ben Stookesberry, Chris Korbulic, Ben Marr and Pedro Oliva set out to conquer these previously unchartered whitewater rapids. This is one of kayaking’s most significant challenges and during the 13-day expedition, their skills and patience are pushed to their limits. They navigate twelve distinct gorges, numerous class-5 rapids, inescapable vertical walls, fluctuating water levels and dense jungle cover. All of these untamed natural obstacles stand in the way of the quartet’s successful first descent.

THE ULTIMATE WATERMAN 2015In March 2015 for the first time ever, the world’s finest watermen came together in New Zealand to compete in 6 different surfing disciplines. Over eight days, eight elite competitors were invited- to test their skills and endurance. Seeking out the best conditions this country has to offer and creating a unique event in the oceans of some of our planet’s most stunning coastline. Meteorologists and local experts were employed to forecast conditions. Event officials used this information to determine where the best conditions for each discipline would be on any given day. The Watermen and event crew then drove or flew from their base in Auckland to each carefully selected discipline location, adopting a “guerrilla-like” approach with high intensity, flexibility and maneuverability.

WHAT’SUP – PADDLING THE AMAZONIn 2015, Charlie Head attempted the first ever standup paddle-board expedition of the main water source of the Amazon River; the Rio Marañón in Peru. It had never been attempted before and was the longest and most arduous SUP (Stand Up Paddle) journey ever completed... For two months, using just his physical and mental strength, Charlie had to negotiate the extreme terrain, trekking around impassable rivers, dodging rock falls, surviving freezing water, high altitudes and swarms of insects. Under the gaze of suspicious local tribes, the hardships encountered would only be worth it if he could help to publicise one of the planet’s most endangered environments. Sadly, over 20 new dams are planned on the river’s free-flowing stretches. If these dams are built, scientists believe that they could alter the ecology of the entire Amazon basin forever.

Here job satisfaction is measured in adventure, making a difference, and living well outside the box.

‘Among Wolves’ (‘Entre Lobos’) tells the remarkable story of a poor country boy named Marcos, who at the age of 7 is handed over to his father’s employer, a rich landowner, who in turn delivers him to a life of labor with a hermetic goatherd in an isolated valley. The old man, who lives in a cave, is unused to human company and at first seems not very interested in having a live-in apprentice. The boy, who was abused by his parents, is frightened and equally aloof initially. Despite this, the shepherd begins teaching Marcos how to herd the goats, as well as how to care for himself and how to survive in the wilderness by trapping and fishing. The two develop an affection for each other, and the boy befriends the goatherd’s animal companions: a ferret, a civet, and an owl. Unfortunately, the goatherd soon becomes ill and dies, leaving Marcos to fend for himself. For the next twelve years he has virtually no contact with human beings, but does make additional animal friends – the wolves of a nearby den. This film is based on the incredible experiences of Marcos Rodríguez Pantoja, who lived alone in the Sierra Morena mountains from 1953 to 1965, when he was captured by members of Spain’s Guardia Civil and returned to civilization at 19 years of age.

Lazarus Fell, a former naval intelligence officer trained in black ops and tasked with tracking down the most wanted Terrorist in the world, has gone rogue, realizing his mission has been inexplicably compromised by his own chain of command. As a result, Lazarus has faked his own death, forsaken his life, his family and all that matters to him in the world, to continue his solitary pursuit. But he has personal motivations as well, believing his father, Solomon Fell, Chief of Operations for the Office of Naval Intelligence, was killed in the attacks of 9/11 – the event masterminded by the selfsame Terrorist. ‘Harodim’ is a film unlike any you have seen before, seamlessly blending actual news, archive and documentary footage with a chillingly plausible narrative so compelling the viewer will not know where to draw the line between fact and fiction, creating a haunting and terrifying vision of what might actually exist behind the chaos and unrest of the world we live in today. It is a singular cinematic experience which will challenge your belief in the reality hidden inside the mainstream news reports brought to you daily by a familiar host of corporate sponsors.

In Northeast Asia, stretching for nearly 5,000 kilometres from Mongolia eastward to Russia’s Pacific coast and from Siberia southward into China and North Korea, lies the sprawling basin of the Amur River. The Amur is one of the planet’s ten mightiest rivers, yet it is hardly known to westerners. For 2,000 kilometres, it forms the border between Russia and China – one reason why much of this region used to be a secret, forbidden zone. While separating two superpowers, the Amur’s vast network of countless rivers connects the planet’s largest expanses of wild grasslands, mountain tundra, boreal forest, volcanic moonscapes, subtropical forests, the pristine coast of the North Pacific as well as some of Asia’s most productive farmland. The Amur’s lower, middle and upper reaches are three separate worlds that could not be more different and diverse. This three-part series is an epic journey of discovery of the natural world along the Amur and its tributaries and of the rich wildlife and the native people inhabiting the Earth’s greatest remaining wilderness area – a surprising and exotic world continually shaped and reshaped by extreme forces of the atmosphere and one of the Earth’s most active tectonic zones.

The people who inhabit our planet are as diverse as the Earth’s landscapes. Different in their ways of thinking and their skills, they all have one thing in common: their identity, their most precious good. But change is upon them – and a rich diversity of cultures, languages and knowledge could be lost forever. There are many reasons for this: tourism, political upheavals and climate changes, not to mention the prevailing economic interests in our global society, are all taking their toll on the last remaining enclaves on Earth. In Niger, the ancestral lands of the Wodaabe are shrinking; in the Brazilian jungle the Yanomami people are threatened by illegal gold mining; a Chinese company is willing to buy more or less the entire island of Yap to build luxury resorts and land sales by the Ethiopian Government are endangering the Suri in the Omo Valley. Very few populations have been able to avoid change for this long. These peoples chose to remain isolated and vehemently refused contact with the Western world, but their days now appear to be numbered. This two-part series sets off on a cinematic journey to people whose world is changing, and shows others who are fighting to preserve their culture and identity.

A land of gigantic proportions – Brazil. This one South American country is almost as large as Europe or the USA, respectively. Brazil is energetic, flamboyant and fun – but also overwhelmingly beautiful. Within its mountains, seas, rainforests, deserts and millions of miles of rivers, are many of our planet’s last wild frontiers; its diversity of life and landscape is second to none. Brazil is a rapidly developing country, and following the Football World Cup in 2014, it hosts South America’s first Olympic Games in 2016. Despite the limelight, surprisingly, most of its animals and regions are still little known. This series explores five spectacular worlds – wild forests, a labyrinth of lakes and the awe-inspiring coast region to name just a few. In each episode, the viewer will be taken on a journey across some of the world’s most fabulous landscapes and will meet a few carefully selected, charismatic and little known animal species. The latest in HD technology, including super slow-motion, night vision cameras, and extreme macro photography, brings Brazil’s mysterious carnivores, secretive sea life, astounding insects, and much more to life and make this series an emotionally moving experience.

Giraffes are extreme in every way – nearly six metres tall, they are wonders of physiology. But for a long time, scientists and conservationists paid little attention to Africa’s high society. Filmmakers also seem to overlook these gentle giants: in many films about the African savannah, giraffes are just extras since they seem quite boring – but that’s simply not true. Behaviour, social life and body constitution offer many surprises – giraffe families seem to mourn for their dead. And according to science, the dark patches in their fur are a way to regulate their body temperature in the hot savannah. Moreover, giraffes have a head start into life: during birth, the mother is standing – so the newborn’s first experience is falling about two metres down to the ground.There is not just one species of giraffe, but at least nine – some of them on the brink of extinction. In an attempt to save these animals, scientists are planning to capture, collar and relocate giraffes on a large scale. Through a creative approach and unusual perspectives, we meet the giraffe up high and personal. Outstanding aerials and breath-taking scenic shots complement the behavioural sequences, depicting the fascinating, yet little known lives of giraffes.

HOUSE HUNTERS AMAZING ANIMAL ARCHITECTS
129
©TMFS
In nature, many animals build homes in their very own style, following a special construction plan – a secret blueprint that evolution has somehow stored in their instincts. The results are burrows, nests and dens that differ extremely in size, shape and function. In this three-part series, ecologist and conservationist Chris Morgan presents some of the most elaborate structures, as well as surprising facts and findings about these amazing animal homes. From the clay nest of the ovenbird to the wooden dam of the beaver, from the black bear’s den to the underground burrows of the skink – the camera follows the animal architects, to give unprecedented insights into their unique hiding places. Wildlife real estate provides a shelter against weather and predators. A nest to rest, a safe home to rear their young – this is what all house hunters need.

This is not a battle of eternal enemies – but a war of wits. In this two-part series, world-famous ‘lion whisperer’ Kevin Richardson will be joined by the world’s leading behavioural zoologists. Together, they will identify the lions’ as well as the hyenas’ behaviour when it comes to solving exciting, entertaining and ground-breaking tasks and riddles, custom-tailored to the animals in question. The different trials focus on specific abilities and aspects of the animals’ behaviour. Cognitive awareness and social intelligence will be put to the test: how well will the animals fare when it comes to tasks such as puzzle boxes, rope pulling or mirror mazes? Will they share their findings with animals from their own family or clan – or will they keep their knowledge to themselves? Social politics in lion prides and hyena clans differ; will these differences play out in the end? And which animal is more hard-wired for social co-operation and forming alliances, lions or hyenas? And why? This series is not about trying to find a winner – but instead will reveal why each of these species is the ultimate specialist in their own unique way.

This is the story of an incredible adventure: a young woman from Norway, Aleksandra Ørbeck-Nilssen moves into the wild and joins the last Bushmen hunters in Namibia. She needs to learn more about their amazing survival skills – not for the sake of fun and thrill, but to actively help maintaining the lifestyle of the earth’s first and last hunter-gatherers. The San, South Africa’s legendary Bushmen, their nomadic lifestyle and their culture have all but vanished. In Namibia’s Kalahari one can still find remote villages where families live in peace and the elders still know the secrets of nature. Every morning, the women set out to forage and the men sneak into the bush to hunt, carrying little else but homemade bows and arrows as they walk through the wilderness. But this is a special hunt: The men are accompanied by Aleksandra. The top model, who is a trained tracker and spent years in the Namibian bush, founded the “Barefoot Academy” which follows the basic idea of the Bushmen teaching the art of survival. They can teach young people from their own tribe, as well as people from the Western world and show them how little one needs to make a living without having any negative impact on the environment, even in one of the most hostile places in Africa.

Strangely beautiful. As endangered as the giant panda. Charismatic, but elusive – until now. This is the first time that the extremely rare and widely unknown Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys are thoroughly documented. The film starts in spring, in a remote valley of the Chinese Himalayas, where a monkey family has two newborn babies. They are half-brothers: the first one is nurtured and cosseted in the shelter of the family – while the other one struggles after his mother abandons him. This is the captivating story of how the two youngsters are dealing with their very different circumstances – a story about courage and love, about friendship and family, filmed in breathtaking mountain scenery. For two years, the film crew followed the two brothers, enduring impossible terrain as well as extreme weather. They set off over Himalayan passes, then descended into deep valleys, surrounded by mile-high walls. Here, the team found out how the snub-nosed monkey families push apart and pull together again in one of the highest forests in the world. ‘Mystery Monkeys of Shangri-La’ is an extraordinary first document of a rare and beautiful monkey, and a moving family drama. It reveals unknown science and ancient insight in equal measure.

From the Nile’s mysterious sources to its delta on the Mediterranean coast, this majestic river has a length of 6,650 kilometres – and its natural wonders are just waiting to be discovered. The river’s source can be pinned down to the area of the Ruwenzori Mountains in Uganda, a wonderland boasting 10m-high trees and rare, magical birds such as the Scarlet-tufted Sunbird or the shimmering Ruwenzori Turaco. The river passes Lake Victoria and Murchison Falls National Park, where the stars of Africa’s animal world – giraffes, elephants and lions – wait to make their appearance. After passing through the Sudd’s wetlands, the Nile slowly but steadily makes its way to its delta in the Mediterranean, through endless deserts and past Egypt’s famous pyramids. More than 80 million people live in the delta region, many of whom depend on the regular flooding of the world’s longest river for their livelihood. The fauna and flora in the Nile’s catchment area are as diverse and full of contrasts as the landscapes and nations along its course. This three-part series explores the many different faces of the world’s ultimate river.

Honeybees are in a crisis: around the world bee populations have suffered dramatic losses over the last decades. Loyal companions in the production of our crops for centuries, the little insects seem to have been overburdened. However, their work is crucial for our survival, as a third of what we eat is pollinated by bees. The reasons for the mysterious bee die-offs are unclear. This leads scientists to reflect about possible scenarios of who will pollinate our crops in the future. One way out of the pollination crisis could be by beating the deadly varroa mite, a parasitic insect specialising in sucking the blood of bees and bee larvae. Another solution might be presented by the ‘killer bees’, a honeybee subspecies of the Africanized bee, which is resilient to the mites – but dangerous to men and other bees alike. Can the killer bees be tamed? Around the world, there also exists a rich and diverse variety of native wild bees, most of which have been ignored until today. Will one of them take over? The time has come to look closely at all the bees out there and understand the biology of each species.

Set amidst the Austrian Alps is a deep lake that has enthralled the world for decades: Lake Toplitz. It is said that a massive collection of controversial, classified documents and the remains of a treasure trove can be found in its depths. Allegedly, these items were stowed away by Adolf Hitler’s most senior followers just before the end of WW II. Back then, the area was known as the legendary ‘Alpine Fortress’ or ‘Alpenfestung’, a retreat for the German armed forces. According to myth, SS officer Ernst Kaltenbrunner arranged for the transport of 50 boxes filled with the gold reserves of the Third Reich. SS war hero Otto Skorzeny was also said to have stashed away boxes of gold here. Which aspects of these myths are true and which are not? Those who have explored the history of the lake have certainly found enough material to fill the pages of a thriller novel – including SS officers, mysterious divers, counterfeiters, adventurers seeking a fortune and the crew of a German Navy test station, who conducted secret tests with explosives and underwater rockets from 1943 to 1945. This is the first comprehensive film about the intriguing adventures surrounding the myth-enshrouded Lake Toplitz.

SOUL OF THE ELEPHANT

Being the largest living land mammals, elephants are usually considered as almost invincible – survivors under even the most difficult conditions. But all too often, these giants are illegally killed by poachers for their ivory. So, every dead full-grown elephant whose carcass or skeleton is found with the tusks still in it, is a rare case – an elephant, allowed to die of natural causes instead of bullets, snares or poison. Renowned wildlife filmmakers Dereck and Beverly Joubert take us on a journey along the Selinda Spillway, the only waterway between the famous Okavango delta and the northern rivers in Botswana. The encounter with two elephant skulls and skeletons is the starting point: Who were these elephants, and what was their life like? The grey giants are among the few sentient beings with which we share this planet. They are considered some of the smartest animals, along with dolphins and chimpanzees. This film focuses on the behaviour that makes elephants unique – and introduces us into the very soul of the elephant. Spectacular and grand elephant portraits in the amazing natural landscapes of Botswana are complemented with intimate insights into what defines those magnificent animals.

Fabulous landscapes and spectacular wildlife: O Canada! This vast wild country, boasting the longest coastline in the world with shores on three oceans, has the greatest north-south latitude range of any nation in the world. Countless generations of humans have shaped Canada’s nature for their own purposes and their own survival, ever since the kilometre-thick ice began to melt and the land beneath was exposed. Over time, next to humans an array of plants and animals invaded these regions as well – mammoths, moose and musk ox were common sights in the vast plains of what now is Canada. In this stunning documentary, a journey of exploration is at hand – to re-discover this remarkable and beautiful land with its fabulous landscapes and wildlife, seen through fresh eyes. Filming inside a beaver’s lodge, following the track of bears, swimming deep underwater alongside whales or taking a macro-look at ice crystals: this production has it all. A four-part documentary, ‘Wild Canada’ features never-before-seen wildlife stories, stunning landscapes, dramatic reconstructions of historical events and state-of-the-art graphics and CGI, to paint an awe-inspiring picture of a land full of amazing wildlife, shaped by man over thousands of years.

AFRICA RACE TWO BROTHERS BETWEEN PARIS AND DAKAR
©TMFS
When Tobias Moretti and Gregor Bloéb, two Austrian stage and film actors and brothers, accept the challenge of a desert rally, a nearly impossible mission becomes a reality. In ‘Africa Race – Two Brothers between Paris and Dakar’, the two hobby motorcyclists follow the original course of the legendary rally from Paris to Dakar. Their mutual friend and mentor, Heinz Kinigadner – himself a legend in motocross racing and an experienced rally driver – will be there to support the two brothers however he can. Encouraged by Kinigadner, Moretti and Bloéb will push themselves to their physical and mental limits. But in the end, the riders will have to face over 6,000 kilometres and eleven stages of rocky desert and metre-high dunes on their own. This extraordinary factual entertainment series presents us with intimate insights into the life of the two passionate hobby bikers and shows their willingness to fight relentlessly for their dream. The result is a touching story about friendship, strength and family. The spectacular desert backdrop presents a sharp contrast to the very different environment to which the Tyrolean-born brothers are accustomed.

DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS DEDICATED TO LIFE
149
©MSF/Mads Nissen
They travel around the globe to care and to cure, dare to enter crisis zones and repeatedly put themselves in danger as they carry out their missions: the people from ‘Doctors without Borders’. Who are these men and women? What do they think? What do they feel? ‘Dedicated to Life’ gives an insight into the reality of their lives between home and the frontline. Maarten is currently the only doctor on site in a refugee camp in South Sudan, where more than 40,000 people are living under very difficult hygienic conditions. “It teaches you to be humble, it teaches you to be thankful for the things you actually have”, he reflects as he recalls his battle against a recent outbreak of hepatitis E. Not all of them are doctors: Erik, a civil engineer and water technician, is responsible for ensuring a functioning supply of drinking water in an even bigger camp. ‘Dedicated to Life’ portrays the lives of these doctors, engineers, nurses, logistics experts and a host of other support personnel as they really are: no pathos, no clichés, no hero cult. As the experienced project-coordinator Renate says, “We are not looking for heroes – just be yourself, be professional and make every moment of it count”.

HARNAS WILDLIFE RESCUE CAMP

©TMFS
Harnas is a large farm in southern Africa that offers shelter to abandoned wild animals. Its residents are as varied as the countryside: lions, baboons, wild dogs, cheetahs, mongooses and antelopes. The van der Merwe family who own the farm take on volunteers from all over the world to help run their animal orphanage: the young people come to meet exotic animals and to get a taste of the ‘real’ Africa. City slickers from London, New York and Frankfurt suddenly become volunteers to help for weeks or months, while paying for their stay. Together, they feed, monitor and study around 400 types of animals. They get in close contact with wild dogs and other predators. But they are safe, protected by characters like Frikkie, the hard-boiled Namibian cowboy who gives the kids a hard time; by Hermann, the gentle giant who has spent most of his life in the bush; and by Schalk van der Merwe, former football pro and manager of Harnas, who has an almost eerie ability to talk and walk with lions. ’Harnas – Wildlife Rescue Camp’ is the story of the animals living at Harnas and some amazing people who do all they can to help them.

‘SCIENCE™’ – a program designed to inspire the next generation, to intrigue and fuel enthusiasm for a topic not only restricted to labs and universities: science. We meet physicists at CERN, initiators of citizen’s movements, engineers and, just in general, people who are about to change the world – through their dreams, their ambitions and relentless joy with which they pursue the former. A young ecologist, who shares the outcome of her thesis with a whole town, thus changing its inhabitants’ lives forever. An ex-NASA-scientist, who, together with an amateur submarine engineer, builds a rocket which will be launched into space. A passionate scientist engaging himself in the fields of biology and robotics, who taught himself to communicate with bees. A dedicated marine biologist and diver, who explores a nearly unknown world. An enthusiastic chef, who builds his own amusement park in the backyard of his restaurant. A creative geographer, who thought of constructing a globe just for kicks, resulting in him founding a whole company. The first officially acknowledged cyborg ever, and his amazing story. Showing the audience at home how science works nowadays is the ultimate aim of these entertaining as well as informative mini-documentaries which make up ‘SCIENCE™’.

CHRISTMAS WITH ROLANDO VILLAZÓNThe whole world knows and loves Stille Nacht (Silent Night), the Christmas carol composed in Austria. In this heart-warming programme, Mexican star tenor Rolando Villazón sings the carol in Oberndorf’s Silent-Night Chapel near Salzburg. The chapel stands in the very place where the carol was first sung on Christmas Eve, 1818. What’s more, the Salzburg Festival and Theatre Children’s Choir sings other popular carols including the Austrian favourite, Es wird scho glei dumpa (It will be dark soon) and another classic carol, Vom Himmel hoch, da komm ich her (From Heaven Above to Earth I Come). The recordings were made in two famous Oberndorf locations, the Silent-Night Chapel and Maria Bühel pilgrimage church.

‘EL JUEZ’ AN OPERA FOR JOSÉ CARRERASAfter ten years of absence, Spanish star tenor Josep Maria Carreras i Coll, better known as José Carreras, returns for his final appearance on the opera stage. ‘El Juez’ (The Judge) was composed by Christian Kolonovits on a libretto by Angelika Messner in Austria. The opera set in Spain tells the fictional story of two long-lost brothers. The backdrop is the very real and shocking tragedy of the ‘lost children’. Throughout Franco’s fascist regime, they were taken from families who refused to tow his line. Reunions have been rare because the archives remain closed, which could help tens of thousands of people to find out who they are and who their families were. This documentary traces the production of a cross-over opera written for a mainstream audience. The ‘making of’ takes the audience from Christian Kolonovits‘ initial drafts to the opening night in Spain, at Bilbao’s historic Teatro Arriaga on 26 April 2014, and accompanies José Carreras on his journey with his fellow singers, opera director Emilio Sagi, conductor David Giménez, set designer Daniel Bianco and costume designer Pepa Ojanguren.

Legendary alpinist Reinhold Messner is truly on a journey of discovery: from Kangchenjunga, the easternmost eightthousander on the border between Nepal and India’s Sikkim, he travels along the Himalayas to Nanga Parbat in the west. For a full three months, by air, on land and even on water, he treks through Nepal, India and Pakistan. We follow him on ancient trade routes across vast landscapes of wild and awesome beauty. In the footsteps of early researchers and explorers, at altitudes as high as the mightiest peaks of the Alps, we encounter the most diverse people, cultures, religions and politics. Yet, whether in Sikkim, Nepal, Mustang, Dolpo, Ladakh or Baltistan, it is always their common Tibetan heritage that catches our eye.

SILENT NIGHT THE DOCUMENTARYIn 1831, the Strasser family from Laimach in the Zillertal valley, made their way to Leipzig in Germany, where four of Strasser children performed Stille Nacht outside Austria for the first time. From there, the carol has made a triumphal march all over the world. One hundred and eighty years later, it has been translated into more than 300 languages and acknowledged as intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO.
This documentary retraces the Strassers’ arduous journey, shooting in locations including Leipzig and the small Strasser house in Laimach. Four amateur actors and singers from the Zillertal valley play the Strasser siblings. Their voices are impressive.

SPIRIT OF CHAMPIONS – A WINNING MIND MARCEL HIRSCHER AND ANNA FENNINGER
An intimate documentary about two of the world’s best skiers today. The documentary accompanies Marcel Hirscher and Anna Fenninger on and off the racing courses. A triumphant weekend in Åre, Sweden, sees Hirscher celebrating his 25th and 26th World Cup wins. The public often perceive the serial champion as an earnest and rather stern sportsman. In actual fact, he is warm, humorous and sensitive. We also look into the split personas of Anna Fenninger. Her public persona tends to be cool and distant. She is someone who no longer needs to prove that stunning looks and a willingness to suffer for success can go together. But the ‘other’ Anna can also be sensitive and almost shy. She had to learn to cope with relentless media attention. It is during a long trip to Africa where she reveals her more approachable and thoughtful self. These two elite skiers also show us glimpses of their private lives, where their partners, family and friends relationships are challenged during the World Cup season. The tight schedule barely leaves time to stay in touch with those who play key roles in Anna Fenninger’s and Marcel Hirscher’s success stories.

The unique glacier landscape of the Oetztal Alps has defeated many adventurers attempting to walk across it. To realise his dream of making the journey, Tyrolean dog handler Martin Eigentler plans to conquer the endless ice fields by dog sledge. The musher must rely on his instincts – and his huskies, headed by lead dog Sharak. From Gepatschhaus, the journey takes them across Austria’s second biggest glacier to the cabin at Rauhekopf, and on to Brandenburgerhaus at an elevation of 3,277m (almost 11,000ft). The thin air is freezing, the remote landscape dazzlingly white, and the fascinating expanse riddled with risks. Eigentler and his huskies have to be in tune with each other if they want to emerge from this expedition in one piece. The Husky Trail is a fabulous documentary about the close ties between man and beast in harmony with untamed nature.

The Flying Bulls’ warbird collection is every airplane enthusiast’s golden nugget, and it’s also far more than just a collection. Even the rarest of the planes – the Lightning P38, or the Corsair – are flown at airshows. From Russia to Great Britain, air events compete to feature the stunning display of these WWII classics. Just getting one of these ‘legends’ up into the sky is a lot of hard work, but the specialists and enthusiasts in the Flying Bulls team also seek to achieve new aviation goals. ‘Blacky’ Schwarz, for example, is one of a mere handful of pilots who can ‘loop the loop’ in a helicopter. What drives people like him? And what is the secret of this very special airline based at one of the world’s most beautiful hangars?

THE POWER OF SCULPTURE
THE BULL OF STEEL
The works of Austrian sculptor, architect and painter Jos Pirkner unite energy, vision and sensitivity. This film presents the distinctive, passionate and committed artist. We witness the creation of an architectural sculpture designed by Jos Pirkner. Europe’s largest bronze features a herd of raging, oversized bulls that stampede out of Red Bull’s volcanoshaped headquarters in Fuschl, Austria. “Die Bullen von Fuschl” is a synthesis of the arts that blends space, sculpture and nature in an eye-catching, idiosyncratic statement (also available in English).
It must be the biggest bull in the world. Completely covered in gold leaf, its horns alone span 7 metres. Assembled from 1,228 pieces of corten steel, the “Stahlbulle” or Bull of Steel is 14.6 metres high and weighs 68 metric tons. Visible for miles around and showing every sign of having been built to last, the oversized creature stands guard at the new Red Bull racetrack at Spielberg in Austria’s Steiermark region. We reveal how artists Martin Kölldorfer and Clemens Neugebauer created the gigantic sculpture, from the initial drafts to its completion. Come and see how this new landmark came to life.

THE SALZKAMMERGUT: TRADITIONS AND LANDSCAPES IN AUSTRIA’S UNIQUE UNESCO WORLD HERITAGETreating their heritage as the amazing treasure that it is, the people living in Austria’s ‘tenth state’ are a special group. So far, few strangers have been allowed to share the hidden mysteries of the Salzkammergut located in the heart of Austria. This, lavishly produced documentary series covers a year in the life of the region. Each episode reveals some of its less well-known aspects, from a spectacular ice cave, to predators on the brink of extinction in the karstic plateau of the Totes Gebirge. The producers of the series set themselves the challenge of presenting the glories of the Salzkammergut in such a way that viewers feel as if they are looking through the eyes of locals.

The air around us and the ground beneath our feet are teeming with life. But we are deceived into thinking that apple trees in colourful country gardens or pristine mountain pastures are peaceful idylls. Hidden Worlds documents tragedies unfolding in a clump of weeds, on a twig or tree branch, or on the underside of a blade of grass. Everywhere it looks, the HD microscope reveals hunters and their prey – spiders murdering grasshoppers, millipedes assaulting ringed worms, butterfly larvae devouring springtails, the destruction brought on by a gust of wind or a heavy shower. Filmmaker Berndt Welz has used state-of-the-art camera equipment to produce a unique nature documentary. In three dramatic episodes, Hidden Worlds unveils the struggle for survival in nature’s usually invisible microcosm.

HUBBLE - MISSION UNIVERSEThe Hubble space telescope has revolutionised the world of science and the way we see the universe like no other scientific instrument. For 20 years, Hubble has been orbiting the Earth 600km above it. Travelling at 8km per second, it takes just 96 minutes to orbit our planet. And it has already achieved a huge amount, having discovered more than 30,000 new planets and taken about 60,000 photographs. Astronomy is probably the oldest and possibly the most exciting of all sciences. It asks questions about how the universe was created, or how long stars shine. But above all, it asks the question we would all like to know the answer to: is there life somewhere out there in space? ‘Hubble - Mission Universe‘ has the answers, and takes the viewers on a fascinating voyage of discovery with spectacular shots taken by the Hubble telescope. Presented by Dr. Jochen Liske, known as ‘Dr.J.’, from NASA’s and ESO’s online Hubblecast.
