Homelessness, hunger and shame: poverty is rampant in the richest country in the world. Over 40 million people in the United States live below the poverty line, twice as many as it was fifty years ago. It can happen very quickly. 　　Many people in the United States fall through the social safety net. In the structurally weak mining region of the Appalachians, it has become almost normal for people to go shopping with food stamps. And those who lose their home often have no choice but to live in a car. There are so many homeless people in Los Angeles that relief organizations have started to build small wooden huts to provide them with a roof over their heads. The number of homeless children has also risen dramatically, reaching 1.5 million, three times more than during the Great Depression the 1930s. A documentary about the fate of the poor in the United States today. 　　这是一部关于穷人生存环境的纪录片。在美国这个世界上最富有的国家，有超过4千万人低于贫困线，比50年前多了两倍。一夜落魄是常有的。穷人只能依靠食品券度日。无家可归的人除了住在车里没有别的选择。在洛杉矶有太多的无家可归者，一些公益组织开始帮助他们造街边小木屋。无家可归儿童的数量也大幅上升，接近150万，这个数字是1930年代大萧条时期的3倍。这是一部关于穷人在今日美国的命运。

A masterclass in mood, the film plunges us into the darkness of the blackouts that ripple across Cuba. In the murk of shadow, the flickering of fire beckons stories from realms beyond the reach of light. Electricity cuts have revived a protest movement dormant since the revolution, one demanding that power be restored. 　　源自：https://iffr.com/en/iffr/2024/films/history-is-written-at-night

What do the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, the Thirty Years’ War and the Renaissance have in common? For one, they were all starkly affected by extreme weather conditions. Indeed, if we take a fresh look at human history in the light of Earth’s volatile climate, we can expose hidden parallels, draw surprising conclusions and explain bizarre historical conundrums. 　　This two-parter combines natural sciences and history, a journey from the Big Bang to Iceland’s volcanoes – a gripping narrative that explores little-known connections between the Earth’s climate and major historical events. 　　Are these extremes of weather really a 21st-century phenomenon? Or has climate determined the fate of humanity ever since amphibians took their first steps on terra firma?

地球上的一切生命都要受到气候力量的支配：严寒、酷热、干旱、温暖、湿润……有利的气候条件能促进人类社会的诞生和伟大帝国的崛起，还能促进贸易发展、经济繁荣、文化进步和艺术成就；而不利的气候事件通常会导致战乱、饥荒、人种的灭绝和文明的覆灭。在生命出现和发展的过程中，气候的稳定或波动，通常会给通常给地球生命带去戏剧性的后果。而且气候还影响了我们人类的祖先——气候或许就是导致尼安德特人灭绝的原因之一。

Provocative two-part documentary in which Dan Snow blows the lid on the traditional Anglo-centric view of history and reveals how the Irish saved Britain from cultural oblivion during the Dark Ages. 　　He follows in the footsteps of Ireland's earliest missionaries as they venture through treacherous barbarian territory to bring literacy and technology to the future nations of Scotland and England.

Our film focuses on Italian author, art critic and feminist Carla Lonzi (1931–1982), founder of the first Roman feminist group Rivolta Femminile in 1972, and her role in 　　the international feminist revolt of the 70s/80s. It drafts the notion of new feminist 　　historiographies by tracing histories unwritten and by opening to date uncharted 　　archives: at the core of its narrative resides Lonzi’s unfinished project on Les Précieuses, a French proto-feminist group active in the 17th century. It is this project our film wants to revisit in an attempt to complete it in a speculative manner, thereby connecting a remote part of the feminist history with possible feminist futures. Adjacently, a tentative lineage in feminist thought towards the present is mapped through a re-staging of an iconic photographic volume titled La strada più lunga by feminist photographer Maria Grazia Chinese from 1975 in the garden of the Casa Internazionale delle Donne in Rome
