Legendary Jamaican musicist, producer, sound alchemist Lee "Scratch" Perry (b. 1936) is one of the original creators of DUB music, initially just the instrumental b-side of reggae hits "psychedelically" modified with echoes, reverberes etc. and then developed in a reggae "sub genre" on its own.
To celebrate this astounding crazy music genius, director Volker Schaner has realized "Vision of Paradise", a "fairytale documentary" about Lee's extraordinary life...
I hope it will be available to the public asap.....

(Albert Hofmann, 1906-2008)

Human
What is it that makes us human? Is it that we love, that we fight ? That we laugh ? Cry ? Our curiosity ? The quest for discovery ?
Driven by these questions, filmmaker and artist Yann Arthus-Bertrand spent three years collecting real-life stories from 2,000 women and men in 60 countries...
