Hoffmann (Scheicher) is an ambitious ethnology student in Berlin. When he meets the interpreter (Jazama) of the Herero and Nama delegation from German South West Africa on their visit to Germany, he develops an intense interest in the population. His experiences come to contradict the common evolutionist, racially based theories he has been confronted with up until that point. When it comes to the civil war, he is on the ground, travelling around and collecting artefacts that will form part of the collection of the modern-day Berlin Ethnological Museum. Hoffmann witnesses the cruelties of war, but he himself crosses moral boundaries when he agrees to collect Herero and Nama skeletons for research purposes.

Measuring Sadness is an essay film. Memories, archive footage, dreams and painful reality collide and touch each other in their own visual language. It measures a state, a process, in which sadness and beauty, vastness and closeness, warmth and coldness are combined in opposing ways.

德国导演Detlev Buck也在本土筹备一部新片，把德语作家Daniel Kehlmann连续37周占据《明镜周刊》畅销书榜首的《测量世界》搬上银幕，并且使用3D技术拍摄。这两部作品论起共同点的话除了畅销之外都有着交叉的人生和激动人心的探险故事。《测量世界》主人公是18世纪末德国的两位古怪天才，分别是博物学家洪堡与数学家高斯，用着各自的方式在进行着“测量世界”，直到最后两人的生活才有了交集。写该书时的Daniel Kehlmann只有30岁。《测量世界》与迈克尔·哈内克的新作《爱》（伊莎贝尔·于佩尔出演）等片一起获得了今年Berlin Film Board的资助，目前由Detlev Buck在打磨剧本，具体开机时间未定，但毫无疑问，它将成为德国迄今制作规模最大的3D影片。

班宁07年作品《casting a glance》的一个续作。

物理学家Jim Al-Khalili游历叙利亚、伊朗、突尼斯、西班牙等国，向您展示8世纪-14世纪伊斯兰世界的巨大科学进步。共3集。 　　Information 　　Episode 1: The Language of Science. 　　Physicist Jim Al-Khalili travels through Syria, Iran, Tunisia and Spain to tell the story of the great leap in scientific knowledge that took place in the Islamic world between the 8th and 14th centuries. Its legacy is tangible, with terms like algebra, algorithm and alkali being Arabic in origin and at the very heart of modern science. For Baghdad-born Al-Khalili this is also a personal journey and he uncovers a diverse, outward-looking culture, fascinated by learning and obsessed with science. 　　Episode 2: The Empire of Reason. 　　Physicist Jim Al-Khalili travels through Syria, Iran, Tunisia and Spain to tell the story of the great leap in scientific knowledge that took place in the Islamic world between the 8th and 14th centuries. He travels to Syria to discover how, a thousand years ago, the astronomer and mathematician Al-Biruni estimated the size of the earth to within a few hundred miles of the correct figure. In Cairo, he tells the story of the physicist Ibn al-Haytham, who helped establish the science of optics. 　　Episode 3: The Power of Doubt. 　　Physicist Jim Al-Khalili concludes his investigation into the relationship between science and Islam. He shows how the scientific revolution that took place in 16th and 17th century Europe had its roots in the world of medieval Islam. He travels across Iran, Syria and Egypt to discover the astronomical advances made by Islamic scholars through their obsession with accurate measurement. He then visits Italy to see how those ideas permeated into the West and helped shape the works of Copernicus.

计算人类的每个心理状态和个性倾向所衡量的值，通称：PSYCHO-PASS（心理测量者）被因而引进未来世界。因此，为让大众达到“理想的人生”这个指标，实现这些数值就变得非常积极。然而，有关犯罪的数值，也就是“犯罪指数”也会被测量，当然犯罪者亦是如此，但既使如说没有犯罪，可是其规定值超过的人也是会被列为潜在犯，将而受到制裁。这个故事是在描写为了维持治安的工作，公安局刑事课第一分队的成员活跃的表现。
