Celebrating the World Bee Day and the 12th anniversary of urban beekeeping at Cankarjev dom

The documentary, filmed over a space of three years, sets out to capture the intimate life of a winter and summer bee. The adventurous journey of a single bee is shown, from its birth to the founding of a new bee colony. The latest camera technology and special post-production process allow for a unique visual language that provides spectacular insights into the world of bees. We learn that bee colonies are not as homogeneous as we think. They are full of different individuals with very different tasks, abilities and even preferences. The film is suitable for both young and adult audiences, bee lovers and researchers alike.

It is 1961 and Rudolf Nureyev, not yet the imperious figure of legend, is a member of the world-renowned Kirov Ballet Company, travelling for the first time outside the Soviet Union. Parisian life delights Nureyev and the young dancer is eager to consume all the culture, art and music the dazzling city has to offer. But the KGB officers who watch his every move become increasingly suspicious of his behaviour and his friendship with the young Parisienne Clara Saint. When they finally confront Nureyev with a shocking demand, he is forced to make a heart-breaking decision, one that may change the course of his life forever. The true story of an incredible journey by a unique artist who transformed the world of ballet forever.

A biopic about the life-changing moments in the career of young Rudolf Nureyev directed by British actor Ralph Fiennes is both a tribute to the great ballet dancer and a suspense-ridden Cold War thriller.

Patrick Dykstra has dedicated the past twenty years of his life to travelling the globe, following and diving with whales. Over the years, Pat has learnt how whales see and hear, how they perceive other creatures in the water and how they behave at close quarters. He has a finely tuned sense and knows how to act when within touching distance of a whale – what to do, what not to do and when. This allows him to consistently get closer than anyone else alive – a truly unique skill.
