Universe (1987)スペシャル
A wide variety of documentary subjects, from animals (dragonflies, ants) to people (Genghis Khan) to science (time, perception) to places (St. Stephens Cathedral, Umbria). The style is sometimes purely narrative, at other times imbued with scenes to illustrate a particular point. A good mix of subjects for lovers of documentaries.

- Bohemian Forest - Wilderness at the heart of Europe
第2話Bohemian Forest - Wilderness at the heart of EuropeThe vast Šumava region lies at the heart of Europe. For decades, the death strip of the Iron Curtain cut through this area. What often meant loss of home and great suffering for the people was an extended respite for flora and fauna. Today, national parks surround the protected areas of the Bohemian Forest on the borders of Upper Austria, Bavaria and the Czech Republic. Forests, lakes and moors dominate the landscape, where lynxes, wolves and occasionally even moose have found a new home. The documentary follows the life of a farming family in the midst of this reborn nature. - Alpine lakes - silent beauty. At the source of the water
第3話Alpine lakes - silent beauty. At the source of the waterNext to the mountains, water is Austria's greatest wealth. Springs, streams, ponds, lakes and rivers have characterised and shaped Austria's landscape over thousands of years. The documentary traces the paths of water in the Austrian Alps - from the glacier to the valley and through the mountains to the source - and describes the beauty of the unspoilt smaller lakes with their diverse flora and fauna. Each Alpine lake has its own story. It is about enchanted rocks, spectacular underwater worlds, dragons, ancient fish species, but also about cave explorers and modern science. - Traun – A River Like a Crystal
第4話Traun – A River Like a CrystalThe Traun is the central axis of a diverse water system: roaring glacial streams, waterfalls, countless lakes, springs of all kinds, cave waters, tranquil lowland meadows, and thousands of kilometers of creeks and river courses – all of this ultimately feeds a single river. This diversity is almost beyond comprehension – and yet literally within view: from an elevated point north of the Danube, one can see the entire length of the river on a clear day, from the wild, strictly protected Traun wetlands in the city of Linz all the way to the Dachstein. Thus, the wild journey of the water from the Dachstein to the Danube became the narrative thread. This was interwoven with a second: the journey of the river through the seasons. And then a third: the journey of the Traun through a millennium of its eventful history. - Long live the central cemetery
第23話Long live the central cemeteryThe Viennese and death - that is a story of its own that has been written three million times at the Central Cemetery. However, the Central Cemetery in its function as a natural oasis has never been shown before. Tracking down ‘nature on your doorstep’ and awakening an understanding of life in the cemetery is one of the aims of this film. ‘The diversity of nature at the Central Cemetery and thus valuable local recreational space for the Viennese should continue to be preserved and promoted by the City of Vienna's species and habitat protection programme,’ said City Councillor for the Environment Ulli Sima at the premiere. At the same time, a walk through the cemetery is a walk through the history of Vienna. It is also an attraction for countless tourists and a good advertisement for the city.
