Too fast. Too slow. Too small.You won’t believe your eyes.

We will transport students to places they have never been before, to see things beyond their normal vision, yet literally right in front of their eyes. Here science, discovery and exploration will burst from the screen to captivate students.

• Viewers will experience events that unfold too slowly for human perception;• They will “see” the beauty, drama, and even humour of phenomena that occur in a microsecond; • They will enter the microscopic world that was once reserved only for scientists;• They will begin to understand that what we actually see is only a fraction of what there is TO see.

High-speed and time-lapse photography, electron microscopy, and nanotechnology are just a few of the advancements in science that now allow us to see a whole new universe of things, events, creatures, and processes we never even knew existed.

Visually stunning and entrenched in cutting-edge research, Mysteries of the Unseen World will leave students in complete thrall as they begin to understand the enormity of the world they can’t see, a world that exists in the air they breathe, on their own bodies, and in all of the events that occur around them minute-by-minute, and nanosecond-by-nanosecond.

Bringing the universe to life in 3D on the giant IMAX screen with unprecedented clarity, Hidden Universe incorporates mesmerising real images captured by the world’s most powerful telescopes including the Very Large Telescope (VLT), the ALMA and the Hubble Space Telescope.Students will explore the earliest galaxies and travel the terrain of Mars; peer deep inside vivid clouds of nebula to see previously unseen forms such as pulsars and gas jet streams; glimpse new stars being born in the Carina Nebula; and witness high-definition images of distant celestial structures including stunning new images of the sun.

Hubble 3D'Personally, I found the film engrossing, the quality of the 3D amazing and the questions that it raised about our place in the universe surprisingly emotional. From an educational perspective, the drama of the liftoff, the detail of the preparation, the amazing photography of astronauts carrying out their tasks and finally the journey through space will enthral just about every student'

Misrepresented, maligned and on the verge of extinction, the great white shark is an iconic predator: the creature we love to fear. Explore the great white’s place in our imaginations, in our fears and in the reality of its role at the top of the oceanic food chain. Filmed in breathtaking 3D in Mexico, South Africa, New Zealand, and Los Angeles by the same film makers who brought you Wild Ocean and The Last Reef.

Recommended DOUBLE FILM PARTNER:

Under The Sea 3D'The clarity and attention to detail were extraordinary in the marine setting. A wonderfully entertaining and absorbing movie with an educational flavour. An excellent base for conservation and climate change topics. The focus was on a small number of animals and showed them with exceptional clarity and detail. The commentary was educational and entertaining – two qualities students need'
