Film6.7BelgeselAlthough Wikipedia is the 8th most popular website on the Internet today, and it is already the 3rd most widely read 'publication' in human history, attracting 100 million unique visitors a month, this great social and academic experiment of our age is riddled with vandals and challenged by skeptics, posing compelling questions about whether Wikipedia's model can truly achieve its goal. The film intersperses founder Jimmy Wales' unusual rise to Internet super-stardom among the global implications of Wikipedia. Are entries factually accurate? Biased? Accountable? Does 'Jimbo' Wales posses the wisdom to ensure that Wikipedians aggregate knowledge correctly?

Film5.1BelgeselConceived as an electronic road movie, this documentary investigates cutting edge technologies and their influence on our culture as we approach the 21st century. It takes off from the idea that mankind's effort to tap the power of Nature has been so successful that a new world is suddenly emerging, an artificial reality. Virtual Reality, digital and biotechnology, plastic surgery and mood-altering drugs promise seemingly unlimited powers to our bodies, and ourselves. This film presents the implications of having access to such power as we all scramble to inhabit our latest science fictions.

Dizi7.0HaberKomediColbert Raporu, Pazartesi ile Perşembe günleri Komedi Merkezi'nde yayınlanan Amerikan hicivli bir gece televizyon programı. Jon Stewart ile The Daily Show'un eski muhabiri olan politik mizahcı Stephen Colbert'i canlandırıyor. Colbert Raporu, politikaya ve medyaya benzer şekilde yorum yapan The Daily Show'dan bir ve ikiye bölündü. Özellikle Fox News'in The O'Reilly Factor adlı muhafazakar kişiliğe dayalı politik pundit programlarını hicvediyor. Gösteri, gerçek hayat isimleriyle oynanan Stephen Colbert adlı kurgusal bir çapa karakterine odaklanıyor. Colbert tarafından “iyi niyetli, iyi bilgilendirilmiş, yüksek mevkili bir aptal” olarak tanımlanan karakter, televizyonda siyaset uzmanlarının karikatürüdür. Colbert Raporu her biri 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 ve 2012'de yedi Primetime Emmy Ödülü, iki Televizyon Eleştirmenleri Derneği Ödülü ve iki Uydu Ödülüne aday gösterildi. 2013 yılında iki Emmys kazandı. Tom DeLay Legal Defence Trust ve Robert Wexler'ın programa verdiği röportajı takiben birçok örnekte hicivsiz bir gazetecilik olarak sunuldu. Söz konusu rapor, 17 Ekim 2005'te Colbert'in “hakikat” terimini, söz konusu yayınevini Merriam-Webster'ın 2006 Yılı Kelimesi olarak adlandırdığı ilk filmi izleyerek, medyada önemli ölçüde yer aldı.
