(56 min; 2012; English)
Director: Glenn Holstein

The world of private art collection has always been as glamorous as it has been controversial. In 2012, Albert C. Barnes’s extensive private collection was made available to the public the first time, granting the public access to more than three thousand pieces by artists including Matisse, Cezanne, Renoir, and Picasso.

The Barnes Collection follows Albert C. Barnes, his rise from everyday working man to renowned art collector and controversial figure. The film also follows the efforts of art historians, designers, and construction experts as they work to create a place where the Barnes collection can be displayed to the public. As The Barnes Collection traces both sides of the eponymous collection’s history and status, it provides a glimpse into the exclusive world of collectors and art lovers who work to bring each piece to the public in direct opposition to Barnes’s last will.

Produced by Discovery Channel

Narrated by Jeremy Irons

The Architects of Ancient Arabia digs into the unexplored, deep past of Saudi Arabia as never seen before with teams of archaeologists and a historian looking at fascinating discoveries. Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons narrates this documentary that shows how modern technologies can unravel mysteries behind thousands of sites and bring out new details that piece together the events that contributed to early human civilisation.

Al-Ula is a mostly undiscovered oasis valley in the North West Arabian Peninsula. It is a desert now but was once the centre of an important trade route, which led to prosperity and 3,000 years of powerful cities.

Franz Peter Schubert: The Greatest Love and the Greatest Sorrow
(81 min; 1994; English)
Director: Christopher Nolan

Recipient of the Czech Crystal Award, Prague 1994

Franz Peter Schubert: The Greatest Love and the Greatest Sorrow was described by Sir Isaiah Berlin as, “This most poignant of tributes to Schubert.” It is not a film about Schubert’s life. It is a film about his extraordinary achievements in the last 20 months of his life after the death of his god, Beethoven. Schubert himself said, “Who, after Beethoven, may dare to do anything.” The answer was Franz Peter Schubert, who took the language of music forward into new and uncharted territory once he was liberated from his own profound respect for his predecessor. However, unlike Beethoven, he does not sing of the fullness of the earth. Instead, he laments for our mortality and what he has to say, ranks among the greatest achievements in music. The musicians are Vladimir Ashkenazy, Andreas Schmidt, Antje Weithaas and Michael Sanderling.

Though he is now regarded as one of the greatest of all composers, during his short lifetime, Franz Schubert has very little success with his work. This award-winning documentary, directed by Christopher Nupen and featuring the acclaimed pianist Vladimir Ashkenazy, paints a vivid portrait of Schubert through excerpts from his music, letters and personal diaries.

(60 min; 2013; English)
Director: Gideon Bradshaw

Marie Curie had a life packed with incident. Born in Poland, she showed an early aptitude for science, but was prevented from pursuing her studies by an archaically minded educational establishment. Moving to Paris where she changed her name and achieved an almost immediate reputation as an innovator and radical thinker.

However Curie lost her after a scandal involving her private life. In a closed society women were not supposed to have feelings of their own; hence to be unfaithful to her spouse was considered tantamount to a heinous crime. However, Curie was nothing if not tenacious. Having married Pierre Curie she not only restored her reputation but increased it by discovering radium. From then on till her death in her mid-sixties she became an international figure, regularly lecturing in Europe and the United States.
