Overview
How can we probe the far reaches of the Cosmos to decode the mystery of our origins? In Grenoble, the capital of the French Alps, or from the peaks of Mauna Kea (Hawaii), Cerro Paranal, and much higher still, a team of researchers led by Jérôme Bouvier probes the far reaches of the Cosmos to decode the mystery of our origins. The distant and different "worlds" glimpsed thanks to the most powerful ground-based and space-based telescopes are a source of beauty and emotion, as well as new challenges. At the crossroads of genres, both a visual essay and a documentary, the film KUMULIPO, directed by Gérard Kosicki, also offers a poetic journey rooted in the constant advancement of our knowledge. 13.8 billion years have passed since the emergence of spacetime. Today, we glimpse what we do not yet know…

Lunar(en)
In the year 1957 the cold war expands to space. The Soviet-Union sends Sputnik as the first manmade object into earth-orbit. 3 years later Yuri Gagarin enters space as the first man in space. The so called "Space Race" seems to be decided. But in 1961 President Kennedy promised to send American Astronauts to the Moon. The Apollo Project was born. A space ship had to be built that is strong enough to escape earth's gravitation, land on the moon and bring the crew safely back to earth. Motion Designer Christian worked with his brother and Composer Wolfgang for 18 months on this shortfilm. The foundation were thousands original NASA photographies, taken from the Astronauts during the Apollo Missions, which were released in September 2015. It is an animated collage using different techniques to bring the stills to life.

The Lie Detector(en)
In the first decades of the 20th century, when life was being transformed by scientific innovations, researchers made a thrilling new claim: they could tell whether someone was lying by using a machine. Popularly known as the “lie detector,” the device transformed police work, seized headlines and was extolled in movies, TV and comics as an infallible crime-fighting tool. Husbands and wives tested each other’s fidelity. Corporations routinely tested employees’ honesty and government workers were tested for loyalty and “morals.” But the promise of the polygraph turned dark, and the lie detector too often became an apparatus of fear and intimidation. Written and directed by Rob Rapley and executive produced by Cameo George, The Lie Detector is a tale of good intentions, twisted morals and unintended consequences.
