 Last Reef Cities Beneath The Sea, is an uplifting giant screen journey exploring the beauty and mysteries of the world's reef ecosystems: a distant yet parallel world, with living cities undeniably connected to our own human communities. Vanishing at five times the rate of rain forests, the world’s coral reefs are under siege. Through vivid visuals, music and narration, the film reveals the teeming life of these underwater cities, and their crucial role in the ocean’s survival—and our own. Fly across iridescent tropical corals, brush through a cloud of a million jellyfish, visit an alien world where the closer you look, the more you see, where the tiniest creatures support the greatest predators. As these ancient, exotic havens face the threat of extinction, The Last Reef inspires audiences with a vision of the reef’s incredible—yet fragile—power to rebuild.

 Titans of the Ice Age transports viewers to the beautiful and otherworldly frozen landscapes of North America, Europe and Asia ten thousand years before modern civilization. Dazzling computer-generated imagery brings this mysterious era to life - from saber-toothed cats and giant sloths to the iconic mammoths, giants both feared and hunted by prehistoric humans. The magic of the giant screen reveals the harsh and beautiful kingdom of these titans: an ancient world of ice, the dawn of our ancestors, a time when humans fought for survival alongside majestic woolly beasts.

 Wonders of the Arctic, narrated by Victor Garber, examines the geology and climate of what is perceived to be one of the harshest environments on our planet, exploring the tundra with the people that live there, and discovering the vast array of wildlife thriving in the snow and ice. “Historically, over half of the Arctic Ocean was covered by ice year round,” explained producer, director, and writer David Lickley. “In the past 50 years, that ice cover has been reduced by nearly 70%, and it is predicted that within 15 years there could be a completely ice free Arctic during some months of the year. This is a timely film that explores this ice world from both a human, and a natural history perspective, featuring the iconic ice dependent animals like the polar bear and the bowhead whale.”
