Icon Earth
Synopsis
For 20 years the image of the earth floating in space has been adopted by environmentalists to suggest the planet’s wholeness and vulnerability, as a challenge to industrialism and consumerism. But the meaning of the icon is changing with the advent of global telecommunications and finance. The programme explores the implications of these changes and asks what the future holds.

DAVID MALONE ON THE INFORMATION DIMENSION
David Malone | In-depth interview
On dualism, artifical intelligence and new ideas about consciousness
Are we standing on the brink of a new scientific revolution? Are we ready for a brave new world monitored and guided by artificial intelligence and machine learning? Should panpsychism be taken more seriously, and is dualism about to make a comeback?
In this in-depth interview, documentary filmmaker David Malone discusses the worrying lack of public discourse surrounding new technological applications, and the exciting new ideas filling the worlds of both science and philosophy.

DANGEROUS KNOWLEDGE
Dangerous Knowledge tracks the lives of four of history’s most eminent mathematicians – Georg Cantor, Ludwig Boltzmann, Kurt Gödel and Alan Turing – all of them geniuses whose works not only contributed to a better understanding of the universe but also profoundly changed the world. However, every one of the four tragically went insane and later committed suicide as they pushed the boundaries of scientific endeavour. The documentary is an enlightening exploration of whether there are some boundaries of knowledge that the human mind should not seek to cross.
Presented by filmmaker David Malone, it begins by profiling Georg Cantor, a mathematician whose tragic end came as he struggled to prove his theories of infinity. The second in the series is Boltzmann who was instrumental in the formulation of atomic theory. He too went insane and took his life. Gödel, a contemporary of Einstein’s, went mad and later starved himself to death in a sanatorium. Dangerous Knowledge closes its case with the story of Alan Turing, the Second World War code breaker and the father of computer science. He committed suicide as he worked on the theory that some things are fundamentally unprovable.
For context and objectivity, Malone interviews a number of contemporary thinkers such as Greg Chaitin and Roger Penrose. It makes for very compelling viewing on a subject matter that has fascinated thinkers and philosophers for millennia.

THE EMPERORS NEW CLOTHES, RUSSEL BRAND
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4323536/
Director: Michael Winterbottom
Writers: Russell Brand (made by), Michael Winterbottom (made by)
About
The film contains archival footage from the 21st-century recession paired with “comedic send-ups” from Brand, conducted in the financial districts of London and New York.[1] In one scene in the film, Brand attempts to confront Lord Rothermere, the billionaire owner of the Daily Mail, about his “non-dom” tax status, through which he avoids paying taxes in the United Kingdom by claiming residence elsewhere. When Brand rings the bell at Rothermere’s London mansion and asks through the intercom to speak to him, he is told by an unseen person that Rothermere does indeed live there.[2]
Winterbottom stated that the film will explore why “nothing has changed” since the economic crisis in 2008.
“It’s about inequality and why the 1 percent (of the world’s wealthy) seem to have so much and the rest of us not quite so much,” Winterbottom told the BBC in October 2014. “Everyone knows about equality and what’s going on in the world, so the idea is to point out the ludicrous extremes of our society.”[3]
The documentary began shooting in October. Winterbottom and Brand had previously discussed—but ultimately abandoned—the idea of producing a film version of Brand’s first memoir, My Booky Wook.
