- Science-docu-fiction, or a documentary popular science film - that's what the creators described it. The action begins on a spaceship controlled by womens - cartographers from a civilization unknown to us. They are designed to study the planets encountered in space. At some point they reach our Solar System and their sight falls on Earth. Researchers are delving into the nine hundred million years of our planet's development history. Through the eyes of cosmic cartographers, MappaMundi takes its viewer on a greatly accelerated voyage through 950 million years of development on Earth, 150.000 years of human migration and 15.000 years of human cartography. The film visualises the continuous changes taking place in our world, change that is imperceptible over a single human lifetime. MappaMundi is a film about the image of the world that we have repeatedly re-drawn for thousands of years. With over hundred world maps from the past 15.000 years, the development of our view of the world from its beginnings to the present day is analysed and illustrated in all its diversity. MappaMundi shows the world we inhabit as the result of a process of continuous, radical change, a process of incessant transformation - that is both unstoppable and fascinating.
- When a writer investigates Austria through the images presented by postcards, the landscapes around Erzberg and Salzburg become something between a dream and a nightmare.
- The Mediterranean region shares a mutual object of cultural value: the Islamic bath house hammam - a central place for social life, health care and hygiene, for relaxation as well as religious and artistic activities, and one of the rare public meeting places for women. Today, hammams are disappearing in many Mediterranean countries. With their disappearance, Islamic cities are about to lose a major feature of their heritage. The aim of the Hammamed project is to raise awareness for the hamman's importance. The filmmakers support the project with short films shot in Cairo, Damascus, Fez and Ankara.
