Venice
Showered with superlatives, Venice is doubtlessly an out- standing city, welcoming up to 15 million tourists annually. But despite the powerful magic it radiates, the city is confronted with seemingly overwhelming problems. Hence, detractors keep talking about a dying city. Is Venice then really the At- lantis of our time? The film published here first of all provides a survey of the most important geographic data of the lagoon city and looks into the question why more than one thousand years ago people settled in this inhospitable environment. The immense wealth of the former maritime republic can still be imagined when looking at the sumptuous architecture of many of its buildings. The DVD examines the various causes responsible for the rise of Venice to the dominating merchant power of the whole Mediterranean region during the Middle Ages. And why did the city lose its importance afterwards? As a special highlight of this DVD, we have included a film on Venice dating back to 1968. The two films are excellently suited for comparison, on the one hand with respect to the city‘s historic development, on the other hand in view of its respective treatment on film.

Soil
“To be brought back down to earth” is an expression we use when someone needs to come back to reality. Just like the air to breathe, the soil is taken for granted and simply there – we do not need to think about it. However, it is an extremely complex, sensitive structure and not only the crucial production factor for farmers but their basis of their existence. Ultimately, the soil is the vital basis of life for plants and, directly or indirectly, for animals as well as us humans. Starting from the relevance of the soil, the film clarifies the diverse, mutual relations with other elements of the landscape. In this cinematic exploration, the manifold, soil-forming factors and processes such as, for instance, decomposition and humus formation are explained just like the geographical basic terms “soil profile”, “horizons” and “soil type”. Over the past 150 years approximately, a profound change has taken place in agricultural production, which was essential to provide a stable, high-quality sustenance of the growing population in the industrial states. The DVD also shows that heedless human interference into the soil ecosystem has brought about irreparable consequences.

Europe
According to many scientists, the beginnings of Europe go back to antiquity, and there specifically to the freedom and democracy of the Greeks. Others consider the foundations laid as late as in the Middle Ages. But the settlement of the area we call Europe today began far earlier. The key periods of our European history are to explain how Europe became what it is today.

Textile Production Mechanic
Setting, operating, monitoring, maintaining, servicing and repairing production machines – all these are tasks of a textile production mechanic. Only if the production equipment functions flawlessly and the work processes run smoothly and efficiently, textiles of all kinds and of the highest quality can be produced. Textile production mechanics undergo a broad vocational training. This enables them to work in all branches of the textile industry: in weaving mills, spinning mills, knitting mills, warp knitting mills or elsewhere in the textile industry. Qualifications required for this job are GCSEs or a university entrance qualification. Furthermore, soft skills such as a sense of responsibility, diligence, accuracy and reliability are expedient. The job of a textile production mechanic is a positive challenge for all those interested in engineering and manufacturing as well as in textile fabrics and patterns.

The Meadow as a Biotope
This DVD offers an insight into the plants and animals typically found in the meadow biotope. In an easily comprehensible way, primary school pupils experience a small, exciting world where various kinds of animals and plants co-exist. The film aims at improving the children’s understanding of animals and at arousing their curiosity for plants and animals. The DVD covers the following aspects of the topic of “meadows”: Types of meadows (creation of a meadow, marshy meadows, dry meadows, wet meadows, fertilised meadows); plants of meadows (cowslips, buttercups, dandelions and many more); layers of the meadow and animal habitats (on plants, on and in the ground, etc.); interference with the diversity of species (effects of mowing and fertilising on the meadow); protection of the meadow (responsibility of humans for nature); use of meadow plants (in medicine, human diet).

Schokolade
Schokolade – die süße Versuchung. Kaum einer, der dieser zart schmelzenden Köstlichkeit widerstehen kann. Knapp neun Kilo des leckeren kakaohaltigen Genussmittels gönnte sich der Deutsche 2005 im Durchschnitt. Das liegt nicht nur am guten Geschmack: Schokolade hat auch eine besondere Wirkung auf Körper und Geist. Einige ihrer Inhaltsstoffe sind zum Beispiel gut gegen Bluthochdruck oder Depressionen. "Schau dich schlau!" erklärt, wie Schokolade genau wirkt. Ihren Ursprung hat Schokolade in Südamerika, genossen wurde sie dort als die Sinne erregendes Getränk. Bis zum heutigen Tag werden in Äquatorländern Kakaofrüchte per Hand geerntet, indem sie mit Macheten von den bis zu 15 Meter hohen Bäumen geschlagen werden. Mit den spanischen Eroberern kam der Kakao nach Europa, doch erst im Jahre 1848 gab es Schokolade in Form fester Tafeln. Heute reicht die gute alte Milchschokolade nicht mehr aus – immer ungewöhnlichere Kreationen kommen auf den Markt, darunter gewagte Kombinationen mit Paprika, Sellerie oder sogar Bergkäse. "Schau dich schlau!" zeigt den Weg der Kakaobohne von der Plantage bis in die Schokoladentafel. Außerdem haben sich Joey Grit Winkler und Fero Andersen auf der Internationalen Süßwarenmesse (ISM) in Köln umgeschaut und zeigen die neuesten Trends und die skurrilsten Zutaten!
