Woman with a third breast?
Fantastic!
Sexual life of hedgehogs? Tremendous!
Your neighbours’ story? Maybe...
Searching for content is one of the most challenging tasks of present-day television. Everything has already happened. Almost. That’s why we show space trips. We reach very far. We try to make history alive. Or using extraordinary technologies we reach things that human eye cannot see. Are those ideas going to end any time? And how many more times, according to the maxim “content is just around the corner”, can we retell normal life stories? But we can be sure: nobody will bring that content to us?
Really?

The director wanted to get a little bit better sport shots. So, she asked NHK engineers to do something. He got a camera which can take 10.000 frames per second, and now we can see the fastest man in the world in action as never seen before in TV! In this Miracle Body series new camera technology lets us see beyond sport track performances of athletes. Does this science meets technology approach give something also for non-sport fans, and what next?

Programme presenter: Chain Chao
Through 2D and 3D animation, picture books, arts and crafts, this creative programme educates young audience about the beauty of the Palace Museum and the wisdom of Chinese culture. Journey Through the Palace Museum makes bridges between the past and the present. Do we really have fun “travelling” among Emperors and Empresses from ancient dynasties? Is it enough for bringing history back to life? What other possibilities can we have dealing with historical content?

After living on the same street for 14 years, a UK director decides to take a walk with the camera and get to know the stories of people living on her street. We have
the stories of millionaires, mentally ill people, those who suffer, lucky families, etc. We discover how diverse and rich their stories are. Can we say that content is just around the corner?

Pictures of Love

Programme presenter: Stefan Pannen
A TV programme based on amateur films? Why not? “Pictures of Love” incorporates selected privately shot video material. The programme makers built their story upon content provided by unknown, ordinary people. What were their motives? Was it done because of pure voyeurism? Or to make changes in our behavior and moral integrity visible while society moves on? Or maybe, as those videos were meant for private eyes only, it is one way of depicting truth. What were the motives of the persons providing the videos to go out in the open? Why do they agree to expose their most intimate experiences to a global audience?
