World-famous physicist Dr. Leonard Susskind, one of the originators of String Theory, muses on philosophy. Poetic essay meets traditional science documentary in an interesting reveal of visual metaphors through the eyes of this brilliant man.

Nobel Prize winner Bill Phillips is eager to hear about new theories from young scientists like Hannah Venzl. An exciting dialogue develops between them on a boat trip near Lindau as they dream up collaborative experiments in the quantum world.

Mosquitoes have killed more people than all the wars in history. The war against mosquitoes is fought on many fronts. Experiments with people whose natural body odors repel mosquitoes have helped scientists at Rothamsted Research to make advances in the search for a cheap safe mosquito repellent. This film was created as part of the "Science on Film" initiative by The Wellcome Trust and the Documentary Filmmakers group.

Out of competition film from the Pariscience film festival : Where do we come from? What do apes and humans have in common, where are the differences? The chimpanzee Sina and the paleontologist Oliver are trying to answer these questions in an extraordinary experiment. By comparing Oliver’s and Sina’s anatomy and behaviour in the TV-studio, we see how closely the two species are related and where evolution caused differences. Via the 'time-tunnel' we travel back into the past to some of our forebears and attempt to answer questions about our roots. The film highlights major landmarks in human evolution and provides insights into the methods of paleontology. A passionate researcher, elaborate 3D-animations and a unique studio-experiment let science come to life.

Out of Competition: Samuel, a quantum physics researcher, creates an unknown material. The presence of his deceased wife suddenly comes back, as if linked to his discovery.
