(59 min; 2021; English)
A BBC film

This is an astonishing tale of perseverance and ingenuity that reveals how scientists have battled against the odds for almost a century to detect and decode the neutrino, the smallest and strangest particle of matter in the universe.

Inside the world-renowned physics laboratory Fermilab, a team of scientists are constructing an audacious experiment to hunt for a mysterious new ‘ghost’ neutrino. If they find it, this could transform our understanding of the nature and fabric of our universe. The problem is, these tiny particles are almost impossible to detect.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 
(46 min; 1995; English)
Produced and Directed by Molly Thompson

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Austrian composer, widely recognized as one of the greatest composers in the history of Western music. With Haydn and Beethoven he brought to its height the achievement of the Viennese Classical school. Unlike any other composer in musical history, he wrote in all the musical genres of his day and excelled in every one. 

Human, All Too Human was a BBC television documentary that originally aired in 1999. Taking its title from Nietzsche’s book of aphorisms Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits, the three-part series covers the lives and work of Friedrich Nietzsche, Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre. Although biographies, the overall theme was an exploration of the philosophy of Existentialism, as developed by these radical European thinkers.

Heidegger - Thinking the Unthinkable | Click here to watch
(49 min; English)
Director: Jeff Morgan

Film on the life and work of German philosopher Martin Heidegger. Heidegger - Thinking the Unthinkable portrays him as an exceptionally gifted, yet vastly under-appreciated by his peers due to his affiliation with the Nazi party.

Heidegger began developing his philosophical ideas around the time that the Nazi party was transforming the country. He furthered the teachings of Friedrich Nietzsche, in an attempt to directly confront the central issues of human existence and self-awareness. It also reveals how critics dismissed his works as nothing more than Nazi propaganda and how these accusations against his character may have pushed him to a life of solitude in the rural city of Todtnauberg.

Heidegger - Thinking the Unthinkable follows Heidegger’s life until his death in 1976. It discusses how his teachings have stood the test of time, and mentored men such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Jacques Derrida, as well as many other titans of the modern philosophical world.

E_SPIRIT_FORMS

An exhibition by Carla Noronha from Portugal
On display are works in acrylic and ink on paper

E_SPIRIT_FORMS is the form-creation of the non-physical part of emotions. This is how the unknowable pulsations of Nature are understood. In this seat of the great whole, entities or objects are linked, ones of their kind are distinguished among others, and the ash branches are dyed with colour.

"…It is through the perception inherent in the roughness of matter, so little cared for by men, that the artist shows us the way of the elders, from the Mediterranean to the equatorial forest, from the banks of the Amazon River to the deserted fields in South America. A microscopic and dotted line, with dots of light that emerge in the smoothness of the paper, like a path that leads us to the womb of the world…” 

- Sofia Amaro, author
