The Most Unknown is an epic documentary film that sends nine scientists to extraordinary parts of the world to uncover unexpected answers to some of humanity's biggest questions. How did life begin? What is time? What is consciousness? How much do we really know? By introducing researchers from diverse backgrounds for the first time, then dropping them into new, immersive field work they previously hadn't tackled, the film reveals the true potential of interdisciplinary collaboration, pushing the boundaries of how science storytelling is approached. What emerges is a deeply human trip to the foundations of discovery and a powerful reminder that the unanswered questions are the most crucial ones to pose. Directed by Emmy-nominated and Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Ian Cheney (The Search for General Tso, The City Dark) and advised by world-renowned filmmaker Werner Herzog (Fitzcarraldo, Aguirre, The Wrath of God, Grizzly Man), The Most Unknown is an ambitious look at a side of science never before shown on screen. The film was made possible by a grant from Science Sandbox, a Simons Foundation initiative dedicated to engaging everyone with the process of science.

Border, The / Granica [FL 573] 　　This excellent film openly deals with complex ethnic relations between Hungarians and Serbs in the ethnically mixed province of Vojvodina. The story takes place in a village close to the Yugoslav-Hungarian border just after the end of WWII. The war and communist revolution have changed the lives of two families, a native Hungarian and an immigrant Serbian one, leaving each of them with different traumas and deep suspicion towards their new neighbors. This mutual dislike stands firmly in a way of a possible love story that might otherwise easily emerge between Etel, the beautiful young daughter of Hungarian landlord who was raped by Soviet soldiers and now has a baby to support and the young son of the Serbian incomer to the village. As both families experience the tough first years of the new regime as are equally harassed by the brutal young officials of the new government, many joyous and sad, proud and humiliating situations develop. Events force these two families to change irreversibly and gradually break with their former prejudices, allowing free rein to the love between two young people of different ethnic backgrounds. Zoran Masirevic, Yugoslavia, 1990, Serbian, 88 min, fiction film, DVD-ROM

影片故事讲述劳拉(维拉·法米加饰)和她古怪的父亲杰克(克里斯托弗·普卢默饰)展开一段非常古怪的公路旅行。

The story opens in Balochistan, in a small, scarcely ‘wired’ village bordering Iran and Afghanistan. Ahmad is an idealistic teacher in exile, educating the local community; his partner Haseeba, however, has spent time in jail in Tehran for the very same offence against the State. The disaccord between them is not only social but also personal. Ahmad's destiny collides with that of a family fleeing the Taliban; soon the intricate divisions of age and gender within that group will trigger other problems and entanglements – including a 'lovers on the run' intrigue that fleetingly recalls Murnau's classic Tabu (1931). 　　Across all the arresting, shifting peripeteia of its plot, Abbas Amini's film deftly dramatises the complicated question of commitment: do we commit ourselves to a political cause, a set of religious beliefs, or a person? And how do we negotiate the commitments of others, even those closest to us, when they are based on a very different value system? 　　With its sparse music score, densely naturalistic acting and unostentatious camera work, Endless Borders is almost a minimalistic suspense thriller (with Hitchcockian overtones), combined with a heated family melodrama – but it never loses sight of the serious and extremely timely issues that it raises. 　　源自：https://iffr.com/en/iffr/2023/films/endless-borders
