The film is examining a man through the figures he<br />
has carved and painted on the rock. Cave paintings are<br />
mirrors through which ancient people are watching<br />
us as we are actually watching them. Do we understand<br />
each other ? Do we see ourselves in the stone age paintings<br />
? The film is a journey into the past and, at the same<br />
time, a portrait of a man, right here and right now.<br />

1712 Battle<br />
of tHe Baltic<br />
by florian Dedio<br />
In 1712, the Great Northern War had been devastating<br />
Northern Europe for twelve years. Sweden, the predominant<br />
power in Northern Europe, was challenged<br />
by an alliance of Denmark and Russia. Sweden had a<br />
mighty army stationed on the German island of Ruegen.<br />
But this army needed supplies, so Sweden sent over<br />
100 supply ships, escorted by its mighty battle fleet. This<br />
huge fleet was spotted along the way. Denmark sent<br />
its own warships – and the two fleets clashed somewhere<br />
north of the island of Ruegen. But where exactly this<br />
battle took place, how many ships were sunk, and how<br />
important it was has remained unknown for 300 years. In<br />
2011, a team of archaeologists and historians scoured<br />
the Baltic Sea’s murky waters and the naval archives of<br />
Sweden and Denmark. Using state-of-the-art technology,<br />
they uncovered several wrecks from the battle, as well<br />
as previously-lost documents, describing what a<br />
debacle for Sweden this battle turned out to be. The film<br />
accom panies the ongoing excavation and the scientists<br />
at work. Key moments are re-enacted, using the very few<br />
authentic sailing vessels from the 18th century in existence<br />
today. Combined with archaeological footage, both<br />
above and underwater, and digital reconstructions of<br />
the wrecks found, the film reveals the secrets of one of the<br />
biggest navel battles of the Baltic.<br />
