The journey of She and Loverboy – a dealer of the sacred flower’s seeds. Led by the invisible force of the kidnapper, she is soon caught in a delusion of their strangely automatic, lonely honeymoon

Explosive bursts of fire open Technology/Transformation, an incendiary deconstruction of the ideology embedded in television form and pop cultural iconography. Appropriating imagery from the 1970s TV series Wonder Woman, Birnbaum isolates and repeats the moment of the "real" woman's symbolic transformation into super-hero. Entrapped in her magical metamorphosis by Birnbaum's stuttering edits, Wonder Woman spins dizzily like a music-box doll. Through radical manipulation of this female Pop icon, she subverts its meaning within the television text. Arresting the flow of images through fragmentation and repetition, Birnbaum condenses the comic-book narrative — Wonder Woman deflects bullets off her bracelets, "cuts" her throat in a hall of mirrors — distilling its essence to allow the subtext to emerge. In a further textual deconstruction, she spells out the words to the song Wonder Woman in Discoland on the screen. The lyrics' double entendres ("Get us out from under... Wonder Woman") reveal the sexual source of the superwoman's supposed empowerment: "Shake thy Wonder Maker." Writing about the "stutter-step progression of 'extended moments' of transformation from Wonder Woman," Birnbaum states, "The abbreviated narrative — running, spinning, saving a man — allows the underlying theme to surface: psychological transformation versus television product. Real becomes Wonder in order to "do good" (be moral) in an (a) or (im)moral society."

A.J Cutler discusses The Once and Future Smash and End Zone 2

A repressed philosophy professor grapples with lingering guilt over a decision from his past when the victim suddenly returns to his life.

In a rural school in the middle of the mountains, a girl who is starting to become a woman feels the profound need to discover her true identity. She does not know who her father is and she is determined to find him, but her mother does not approve it. The hostility of winter in such a harsh place turns this desire into a real threat: freezing in the middle of nowhere. Going behind the backs of the school authorities and the girl's mother, her teacher decides to help her. They set off on this quest for truth, but it is not going to be an easy journey... Their only clue is a small, rusty plate.

From an abandoned New York rail line repurposed into a jaw dropping public park; to a former Danish Shipyard turned sunken museum, this global engineering series explores extraordinary structures, buildings, and landmarks which have been transformed from their original function into something different entirely. In an age of heightened environmental awareness, this is upcycling at its best. 　　We discover the history of how and why they were originally built, and dive into the reason behind their repurposing. But above all, the series focuses on the engineering prowess required for such mammoth upcycling projects - uncovering every step of how the buildings were metamorphosed by expert teams, from their original purpose into something completely new, in a way that preserves the past while providing function for the future. 　　- back2back Productions 　　S1 E1 Shipyard to Museum & Bank Vault to Bar 　　S1 E2 Aeroplane Wing to House & Corn Exchange to Theatre 　　S1 E3 Warehouse to Concert Hall & Air Riad Shelter to Farm 　　S1 E4 Abandoned Rail Line to Urban Park & Church to Cultural Hub 　　S1 E5 Sugar Refinery to Climbing Wall & Asylum to Health Club 　　S1 E6 Grain Silos to Art Museum & Fortress to home 　　S1 E7 Coal Drop to Retail Complex & Gasometers to Housing 　　S1 E8 Prison to Hotel & Lightship to Sound studio 　　S1 E9 Satellite to Space launcher & Water Tower to Home 　　S1 E10 Malt Buildings to Concert Hall & Plane to B&B

Narrated by Academy Award® winner Jeff Bridges, DREAM BIG: Engineering Our World is a first film of its kind for IMAX® and giant screen theaters that will transform how we think about engineering. From the Great Wall of China and the world's tallest buildings to underwater robots, solar cars and smart, sustainable cities, DREAM BIG celebrates the human ingenuity behind engineering marvels big and small, and shows how engineers push the limits of innovation in unexpected and amazing ways. With its inspiring stories of human grit and aspiration, and extraordinary visuals for the world's largest screens, DREAM BIG reveals the compassion and creativity that drive engineers to create better lives for people and a more sustainable future for us all.
