PARABETON starts with the first still exstant dome built of concrete by the Romans in the 1st century
bc in Baiae near Naples. followed in chronological sequence by buildings of Italian engineer-artist Pier
Luigi Nervi (1891 – 1979) – inventor, master-builder of concrete structures and the architect’s architect
of the 20th century. This succession is from time to time halted by cinematic studies of large Roman
structures. In doing so the film relates Nervi’s path-breaking constructions with the pioneering Roman
inventions in his field 2000 years ago.

PEAK
by Hannes Lang ENVIRONMENT | NATUR | SOCIETY
The Alps are an ancient region of natural beauty that is
changing as a result of climate change. Snow is no longer
guaranteed. PEAK shows how the tourist industry is dealing
with the problem. Millions are invested into massive technology
to produce the perfect landscape independent from nature.
High-altitude water reservoirs replace melting glaciers, excavators
rip up the earth, a computer operated switch room lies
deep in the mountain, pipes and cables are laid in the ground,
snow machines continuesly spray artificial snow onto slopes. A never-ending story taking place in the
Alps, but with parallels worldwide. A theatrical masterpiece in Cinemascope.

When thinking of pilgrimage routes, St. James’ Way to Santiago
de Compostela in Spain comes to most people's minds. But it is
now completely 'overrun' and so more and more pilgrims are
looking for an alternative route. And there is one: namely,
Pilgrimsleden (The pilgrim’s route). The main route is approximately
400 miles long. It starts in Oslo and heads north to
Trondheim where the impressive Gothic church, Nidaros
Cathedral, was once an important pilgrimage destination in the
Middle Ages. At the time of the Reformation in Protestant Norway about 500 years ago, it fell into
oblivion, but it has now regained its fame as a result of the growing popularity of pilgrimages. In
2010, the European Commission ranked St. Olav’s Way equal to St. James’ Way.
Reinhard Kungel realized a 53minute documentary about this fascinating pilgrims route. Beside other
pilgrims he also met wild musk oxes and a group of prisoners on their way to Trondheim.
