The art of Aboriginal Australia is celebrated in Dreamings. The artists talk of their work, its association with the land and its spiritual connection with their people, the animals and plants.
In this double package we examine two giants of the Renaissance period - Leonardo da Vinci, genius scientist, inventor, engineer and artist, and his contemporary and equal Michelangelo.
A beautiful, evocative documentary, DREAMING AGAINST THE WORLD captures the life, work and struggle of one of the most original yet under-recognized artists of the 20th century - the writer and visual artist Mu Xin; and in doing so, offers a vivid account of art, and its survival, in turbulent times.
This film takes a cinematic journey from the print and drawing rooms of Europe, through the great chapels and museums of Florence, Rome and the Vatican to explore the tempestuous life of Michelangelo. We go in search of a greater understanding of this most charismatic figure, his relationship with his contemporaries and his valuable artistic legacy. Through expert commentary and Michelangelo's own words, this film takes a fresh look at an enigmatic man whose life is celebrated in every mark and every stroke he made.
