The Salzburg Festival has hosted every great star of the opera and concert hall, from Toscanini to Anne-Sophie Mutter, from Fischer-Dieskau to Barenboim, from Pollini to Mitsuko Uchida. In this film, the first to tell the story of this remarkable Festival, set in the birthplace of Mozart, director Tony Palmer has been granted unprecedented access to Austria’s film archives. Highlights include performances of Jedermann from 1920 to the present day, featuring actors such as Maximilian Schell and Klaus Maria Brandauer; Don Giovanni (with Furtwängler in ’54 and a controversial performance directed by Peter Sellars in the 1990s); a wealth of footage of Herbert von Karajan, including performances and never-before-seen home movies; and footage of the Nazi hierarchy at the Festival during the Second World War.
Alongside this historical footage the film interviews current stars including Plácido Domingo, Valery Gergiev, Lang Lang, Anna Netrebko, Riccardo Muti and Simon Rattle, who tell their stories and open their hearts about this unique Festival.
"For me, Salzburg was where I felt I belonged, where every musician wants to perform, where every musician should aspire to. I was lucky to have that chance." Plácido Domingo
"It was, quite simply, the most important place in my life. It gave me such happiness, and I hope I managed to give something back in return." Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau

TIME-BOMB is a powerful new documentary that puts the spotlight on America's exploding national debt and the fact that our leaders are risking our economic future through shortsighted fiscal policies. With each passing day that we do nothing to address our twin deficits, we increase the chances that we will soon be facing an economic crisis of major proportions. TIME-BOMB shows why the hard-earned assets of all Americans are at risk and, on a more profound, level shows why Democracy itself is threatened. The movie features interviews with citizens who have had the courage speak out truthfully about these issues including: * Senator Warren Rudman, Co-author, Graham-Rudman-Hollings Deficit Reduction Act * George Soros: Financier, Philanthropist, Author: The Bubble of American Supremacy * Peter G. Peterson, Chairman, The Blackstone Group, Author: Running on Empty * Lawrence Kotlikoff: Chairman, The Economics Department, Boston University * Kenneth Rogoff: Harvard Economics Professor and Ex-Chief of Research, IMF * Steven Rattner: Principal, The Quadrangle Group, Ex- New York Times Reporter * Benjamin Friedman: Harvard Economics Professor, Author: Day of Reckoning * Ben Cohen: Co-founder: Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream and TrueMajority.com * Senator Robert Byrd: Member Senate Budget and Foreign Relations Committees and numerous ordinary citizens recorded in spontaneous on the street interviews.
TIME-BOMB is a remarkable film not only because it offers a penetrating analysis of perhaps the most dangerous threat facing America, but also because it does it in a thoroughly engrossing and entertaining manner. TIME-BOMB takes the Michael Moore genre and applies it to the spheres of economics and political science with a delicate blend of humor, musical parody and serious inquiry.
TIME-BOMB exposes George W. Bush's faith-based, supply side economics for what it is: nothing more than pie-in-the-sky wishful thinking. It shows how George Bush squandered a $5 trillion government surplus and now runs record deficits in one of the greatest miscalculations in human history. While George Bush has framed America's future in terms of the possible threats of terrorist attacks, he has virtually ignored the mounting threat of our looming fiscal crisis. Here a distinguished array of economic experts, activists, statesmen and business executives show why that threat is more real to our nation than most of us would have dared imagine.
America ignores the message of TIME-BOMB at its peril. Unless we address our "twin deficits" soon, the American economy will be falling like the towers of the World Trade Center, and no one will be remember why the war on terrorism seemed so important. After seeing this movie, you suddenly realize that there is no escaping the fact that America is moving ahead full-throttle towards an economic crisis of major proportions. And somehow we seem blissfully unaware that anything of this nature awaits us.

Technostorks documents the true life stories of three couples - Joann and Sean, Nora and Eric, and Wendy and Rodney - as they go through infertility and in-vitro fertilization. It is the first IVF cycle for Sean and Joann, the second for Wendy and Rodney, and the fourth, and most likely the last, cycle for Nora and Eric. Technostorks documents the couples' most private moments, showing images never before seen on the screen. We follow couples into the operating room to witness egg retrievals and embryo transfers, hear their views on living with infertility, spirituality, and parenthood, and learn with them the outcomes of their IVF cycles. Throughout the film, top experts explain the technological, psychological, and spiritual aspects of assisted reproduction. In the end, not all of our couples will achieve pregnancy, but they will all undergo a personal transformation.
