"The End of the Line - Rochester's Subway" tells the little-known story of the rail line that operated in a former section of the Erie Canal from 1927 until its abandonment in 1956. Produced in 1994 by filmmakers Fredrick Armstrong and James P. Harte, the forty-five minute documentary recounts the tale of an American city's bumpy ride through the Twentieth Century, from the perspective of a little engine that could, but didn't. The film has since been rereleased (2005) and now contains the main feature with special portions that were added as part of the rereleased version. These include a look at the only surviving subway car from the lines and a Phantom tun through the tunnels in their abandoned state, among others, for a total of 90 minutes of unique and well preserved historical information.

The Hopperstad stave church is a marvelous, iconic architectural statement from the fjords of Norway. Replicating the "stavkirke's" spiritual power and beauty became a quest for G.D.

Paulson's dream captured the imaginations of the experts, craftsmen, artists, and volunteers who helped him. It is a tribute to those who have gone before and an inspiration to those yet to come.

The life of Maximo Guillermo "Max" Manus, a Norwegian resistance fighter, before and after World War II.

Unique shapes, no two the same, formed by the action of water and frost. The water that once ran from the summits in torrents and waterfalls is immobilized for a few weeks. The thing is to be there, in time, just at the moment when they become solid, just before they return to water. A question of balance. Around seven top-level climbers who represent all the richness of the activity, these images will highlight different techniques and different approaches. Although the athletic performance is impressive, it is there only to emphasize the dazzling shapes, the warmth of friendships, the stories of teamwork.

The Weight of Sight is a playful and very personal essay where director Truls Krane Meby, through a massive archive of his own material - anything from DV-tapes to 35mm - explores the last 20 years of digital development - how it’s influenced the images we make, and our bodies. What kind of images do we get of the world now that everyone is a photographer, and what does it do with how we unfold our identities? How has the internet both captured and freed us? And will Truls even dare to show this film?

Norwegian documentary from 2013. The Kensington stone was found in 1898 in Minnesota, USA. The disputed, stone-hewn inscriptions, if genuine, would prove that a Norwegian-Swedish expedition explored the American continent 100 years before Columbus. Rheological expertise has always maintained that the stone is a forgery, but others continue stubbornly and enthusiastically to assert the authenticity of the stone and that the history books must be rewritten.
