Diving Into the Darkness

Canadian explorer and storyteller Jill Heinerth is one of the world’s greatest living cave divers, fuelled by an insatiable curiosity to explore the unknown “veins of mother earth”. Jill has been involved in the most legendary and demanding cave diving expeditions of all time, from surveying the world’s longest caves in Mexico to discovering giant iceberg caves in Antarctica. Juxtaposed with these hair-raising dives are intimate, candid interviews and animated flashbacks to her younger years that reveal a complex array of motivations for taking on these challenges. Despite how over 100 of her friends have perished in the depths, for Jill, each adventure in this dive odyssey is one step closer to becoming the woman she wished she’d met when she was a child.

A new Space Renaissance is emerging: Sparked by humanity’s unquenchable thirst for exploration, fuelled by capitalism’s insatiable hunger for profits and propelled by breath-taking technological advances. Fortitude uncovers how a few influential individuals with utopian ideas and vast fortunes are forging a trillion-dollar off-world industry while inspiring millions of us back on Earth. This is the story of those who take risks, invest the capital, and endeavour to turn science fiction into science fact.

Watching You - The World of Palantir and Alex Karp

Digital capitalism and AI are changing the entire world. But who are the people at the top steering this development? And what are their ethical principles? The film is a portrait of one of the most mysterious CEOs in the Silicon Valley.

Alex Karp, a billionaire with a doctorate in philosophy, a self-proclaimed neo-Marxist and pacifist, as well as CEO of PALANTIR whose most successful software is used by police forces to predict crime and by the military to occasionally “kill people”, as Karp puts it.

He is described by insiders as one of the mightiest men in the digital industry next to Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. The film is a look into the digital, algorithm-driven world of tomorrow - and behind the facade of one of its creators, who appears to be as brilliant as power-hungry
