At the Natural History Museum in Vienna, everything that is found on earth and in outer space and that humans can get their hands on, is collected, archived, and studied in the name of evolutionary research. Archiv der Zukunft captures the aesthetic appeal of the natural-history collection and its working process, illuminating the mammoth project of knowledge preservation and production hidden behind the building’s imperial façade.

A tribute to a humble but great man in the film industry.

What does 'refuge' mean: bare rescue from persecution and drowning in the Mediterranean Sea? Does it mean proper accommodations, registration and assessment of requests for asylum? Giusi and Rosario have set up a "Place of Arrival" in the Calabrian hinterlands that goes beyond the obligatory minimum. Instead of living in a centralized camp, 76 asylum seekers are currently being accommodated in several apartments standing empty in the village of Camini. Rather than pass their time in waiting, recently arrived refugees can work within the local framework of the fallow agricultural industry.

Joerg Burger attempts to grasp its essence from different approaches. Through factual interviews with experts in archaeology, physics, psychology, mathematics, and music as well as abstract, almost otherworldly aerial imagery, a sensuous-intellectual bridge emerges between the humanities and natural sciences—inspiring contemplation and wonder.

Focus On Infinity is a cinematic journey to the places, people and machines that are involved in exploring the origin of our cosmos and of our existence. It is a very personal and intuitive investigation into the roots and boundaries of our imagination dominated by sensual perception. Not unlike an adventure, the film dares to voyage into the unknown, to the structures of our intellectual capacity and drive to explore. It focuses on the restlessness that characterizes the natural sciences, which drives research with increasing technological advancement and financial resources, and underpins the never-ending human ambition to fully understand our world.
