- Kaum einer hatte wohl noch mit einem solchen Spätwerk von Giuseppe Verdi gerechnet: Als 1887 die Uraufführung von "Otello" stattfand, hatte er 16 Jahre lang keine Oper mehr geschrieben. Warum hatte Verdi sich ausgerechnet von der Geschichte des schwarzen Generals, der Opfer einer Intrige wird und aus falscher Eifersucht seine Frau ermordet, angezogen gefühlt? Shakespeares Dramenvorlage "Othello" ist sicherlich eines der größten Meisterwerke der Theatergeschichte. Aus heutiger Sicht ist es spannend und erhellend zu ergründen, was die beiden Meister ihres Fachs an einem schwarzen Titelhelden faszinierte und wie sie mit ihm umgehen. Welche Rolle spielten Schwarze in der Welt, in der Shakespeare und Verdi lebten? Welchen Einfluss hatte der Hintergrund des Kolonialzeitalters, das in England in Shakespeares Epoche und in Italien zu Verdis Lebzeiten anbrach? Wie wurde dieser erste schwarze Titelheld der Theater- und Operngeschichte seither dargestellt und was sagt das über die Vorstellung "Weißer" von "Schwarzen" aus? Diesen Fragen widmet sich die ARTE-Dokumentation "Mythos Ot(h)ello". Jonas Kaufmann und Antonio Pappano führen durch Verdis geniales Musikdrama. Experten und Expertinnen beleuchten die historischen Hintergründe sowohl der Oper wie Shakespeares Stücks. Fußballlegende Jimmy Hartwig, der nach seiner Sportlerlaufbahn eine Karriere als Schauspieler machte, erzählt, was Ot(h)ello mit seiner Rassismuserfahrung und seinem Leben zu tun hat.

- Als sich Christiane F. zu David Bowies Song "Heroes" einen weiteren Schuss Heroin setzt, schauen ihr 1981 allein in Deutschland fünf Millionen Menschen zu. Nie zuvor wurde Drogensucht und ihre Folgen filmisch so radikal umgesetzt. Wie konnte die Geschichte von einem minderjährigen Mädchen, das sein Leben an Drogen und Sex verliert, ein Meilenstein in Literatur und Kino werden? Als der Spielfilm "Christiane F. - Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo" 1981 seine Premiere in den deutschen Kinos feiert, kommen viele Menschen erschüttert aus der Vorführung. Nie zuvor wurden Drogensucht, Entzug und Prostitution so radikal dargestellt. Vor allem die Darstellerin Natja Brunckhorst und der Darsteller Thomas Haustein beeindrucken das Publikum nachhaltig. Es sind die 80er Jahre in West-Berlin; eine faszinierende Jugendkultur entwickelt sich in der Stadt, in der es weder eine Sperrstunde noch Grenzen zu geben scheint - obwohl sie eine meterhohe Mauer umgibt. Am Bahnhof Zoo - dem Zentrum West-Berlins - herrscht das Elend vor. Hier verbringen Drogensüchtige ihren Alltag, viele davon noch Kinder. Christiane F. ist eines davon. Sie erzählt zwei Journalisten ihre Geschichte. Schonungslos und ungeschönt. Das Buch wird ein Bestseller und kurz darauf wird daraus der erfolgreichste Film der 80er Jahre entstehen. Dem Spielfilm gelingt mit seiner radikalen Bildsprache und modernen Dramaturgie eine Rezeption bis ins Heute. Die Dokumentation geht der Frage nach, wie die Geschichte von einem Mädchen, das sein Leben an Drogen und Sex verliert, ein Meilenstein in Literatur und Kino werden konnte, und zeichnet den damaligen Zeitgeist nach. Nie zuvor veröffentliche Casting-Aufnahmen und Stimmen von einem Großteil der damaligen Crew wie dem Regisseur Uli Edel, dem Drehbuchautor Herman Weigel, dem Produzenten Hans Weth und dem Darsteller Thomas Haustein erzählen von den schwierigen Bedingungen bei den Dreharbeiten, von der Mitwirkung David Bowies und dem Umgang mit dem Erfolg.
- Jackie Chan is a true icon of Asian and Chinese culture. Over a 45-year-long career, he has carved a niche for himself as an actor, stuntman, director, and screenwriter, but also singer and formidable businessman. After starring in almost 200 films, Chan has reconciled fans of genre film and Hollywood blockbusters, whilst bridging the gap between Asian and Western cinema. Through film excerpts, archive footage and images, and an offbeat approach inspired by the visual codes of the golden age of kung fu films, this documentary will take a look back at the creation of a popular hero who has come to be an icon for China, and the entire Asian continent.

- Paul Verhoeven, a Dutch filmmaker for whom sex, violence and religion are "the three most important elements on Earth", likes to press where it hurts. Born in 1938, he grew up in The Hague under the German occupation, in the fury of bombings and summary executions. Inspired by comics and the New Wave, atheist but passionate about the historical figure of Jesus, Paul Verhoeven lets his darker side and his complexity shine through his characters, and pushes them to transgression. In Hollywood, he is pampered and has had a string of successes ("Robocop", "Total Recall", "Basic Instinct") without giving up his obsessions. Michael Douglas and Isabelle Huppert, the heroine of his latest feature film, "Elle", confide in us.
- According to the Bible, the Ark of the Covenant containing the tablets of the Law, the Ten Commandments dictated by Yahweh to Moses, accompanied the Hebrew people on their conquest of the Promised Land. After the destruction of the First Temple by the Babylonians in 587 BC, the sacred chest disappeared forever. Since then, the mythical Ark, with its mysterious powers, has never ceased to fire the imagination of mankind and the covetousness of treasure seekers. But did it ever exist? By combining skills and innovative technologies, and by comparing the field with biblical texts, researchers are going to make some edifying discoveries.

- Originating in ancient India in the 4th century, these dreamlike tales were transmitted orally as far as Persia, then translated and enriched by Arab merchants, before undergoing other influences. The French orientalist Antoine Galland (1646-1715) was the first European to translate the mysterious collection, triggering a veritable craze for these tales, with The Thousand and One Nights becoming the most widely read text after the Bible. The hero Aladdin, in particular, enjoyed a particular and enduring popularity. Yet many people are unaware that neither Aladdin or the Wonderful Lamp, Sinbad the Sailor nor Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves were part of the original version. For centuries, scholars have tried in vain to trace the origins of these orphan stories. The fortuitous discovery of a manuscript in the Vatican Apostolic Library, however, has enabled us to trace their authorship in part: these are extracts from the Memoirs of the Syrian Christian Hanna Dyâb, born in Aleppo in 1688, who in 1709, during a trip to Paris, told some of the tales to Antoine Galland.
- By launching its fleet against the Chinese junks in 1889, the British Empire declared one of the first wars motivated solely by economic interests. Deploring a trade balance largely in deficit with China, the United Kingdom wants to sell him its stocks of opium by force. Faced with resistance from the Qing Empire, the British went on the offensive in the name of free trade, whose pacificating virtues they were convinced of. Since this exemplary history of ambiguous relations between states, from cooperation to fierce competition, trade wars have been repeated, increasingly sophisticated but not always less bloody. The advent of the industrial revolution, liberalism and then globalization have multiplied the sources of conflict.
- Between 1965 and 1970, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore wrote and starred in 22 episodes of 'Not Only...But Also...'. In the early 70s, the bulk of this material was wiped. In this programme, contemporary comedians re-create these 'lost' sketches from Peter and Dudley's original scripts.
- When, in 1961, West Side Story hit the screens after conquering Broadway, it was the entire Puerto Rican community of New York, ostracized and deprived of the American dream, that feverishly gained visibility. From Spanish Harlem to the Bronx, where poverty, drugs and gangs are rampant, Latino music and dance will then carry the identity revolution, the barrio setting itself on fire and undulating to Afro-Caribbean rhythms, led by "the king of timbales" Tito Puente. Soon mixed with soul, jazz and blues of the black neighbors, who share suffering and stigma of racism, the genres multiply: mambo, rumba, cha-cha-cha, merengue, boogaloo. All the Hispanics of Central and South America joined the movement.
- Among the 600 or so compositions of Camille Saint-Saëns, who died on December 16, 1921 in Algiers, the whimsical suite "The Carnival of the Animals" remains his most famous work.
- An important pilgrimage site in antiquity, the island of Philae has fascinated travelers for centuries. On this rock rising from the Nile, nicknamed the "pearl of Egypt", powerful rulers have built monumental sanctuaries from the time of the last pharaohs to the Romans. Subsequently, the temples were looted, vandalized or transformed, before the successive construction of two dams in the 20th century sealed the fate of the island. To save the precious vestiges from the rising waters, an international campaign coordinated by UNESCO was undertaken in the 1970s. The objective: to dismantle the monuments stone by stone to rebuild them on a neighboring island.

- Der Dokumentarfilm porträtiert die für Europa so wichtige Partnerschaft zwischen Deutschland und Frankreich, die in den letzten Jahren immer wieder durch Krisen vor große Herausforderungen gestellt wurde. Die russische Invasion der Ukraine stellt die Partnerschaft nun erneut auf die Probe. Ist sie noch in der Lage, ihrer Führungsrolle in der Europäischen Union gerecht zu werden? Am 22. Januar 1963 wird der Élysée-Vertrag zwischen Frankreich und der Bundesrepublik Deutschland vom französischen Staatspräsidenten Charles de Gaulle und Bundeskanzler Konrad Adenauer unterzeichnet. Dieser Freundschaftsvertrag zwischen den beiden ehemals verfeindeten Nachbarn bildet in den folgenden Jahrzehnten das Fundament für die bis zum Brexit immer grösser werdende Europäische Union. 60 Jahre später wird das deutsch-französische Verhältnis durch die Invasion Russlands in der Ukraine in ungeahntem Maße auf die Probe gestellt. Angesichts des Ausbruchs eines bewaffneten Konflikts im Herzen Europas muss sich die deutsch-französische Freundschaft neu erfinden, und trotz unterschiedlicher Ansätze in der Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik, auf dem Energiesektor oder bei Haushaltsfragen einen gemeinsamen Weg finden. Der Dokumentarfilm "Deutschland - Frankreich: Beziehungsstatus ungeklärt" beleuchtet die Herausforderungen, die in den letzten Jahren die Beziehung zwischen den beiden Staaten immer wieder belastet haben und befasst sich mit dem neuen deutsch-französischen Modus vivendi. Auf der Grundlage von Archivmaterial, Interviews mit Spitzenpolitikern und Einblicken in den Alltag der deutsch-französischen Partnerschaft zeichnet die Dokumentation das Porträt der wichtigsten politischen Partnerschaft in Europa. Andere EU-Mitgliedstaaten, vor allem in Osteuropa, stellen den deutsch-französischen Führungsanspruch für Europa immer häufiger in Frage. Ist der sogenannte deutsch-französische Motor in Zukunft noch in der Lage, der Führungsrolle in Europa gerecht zu werden?
- There are two variations to play: "Record race" and the "Pogo competition". The Record race is for 2-4 players. Your aim is hunting 50 stars. You can choose one from 8 categories, whereof you get a question. If your answer is wrong, then the next player's turn. If your answer is right you get one star and the bonus question, one from another category, which you have chosen first. If you also answer the bonus question right, you get 3 further stars (4 stars total in this round). There are also jokers and sabotages. If you are sure at one question, you can play with a joker. If you're right, you get 6 stars, but if you're wrong, you get not a single star for this round. With sabotage you can catch two stars from everyone of your rival players, and only if you answer the following question right, if not you lose two stars on everyone of your rival players. The other variation is the Pogo competition that you can play alone. In the video you're climbing up a skyscraper. If you answer all 16 question right, you're on the top. But you have only three lives. If you lose all of them it's Game Over.
