Athos

The Athos peninsula in Greece is one of Europe’s last secrets. Over 2000 monks live on Athos – cut off from the outside world. Access is denied to women, tourists are not welcome. Only workers and pilgrims can obtain a visa. The “Autonomous Monastic State of the Holy Mountain” attracts people who feel like they are missing something from their modern lives. With the help of three Athos monks, “Athos – A Taste of Heaven” tells the story of the island and its inhabitants in a unique filmed diary style. The film’s guiding theme is the path we as people have to find and follow – each and everyone for themselves. “First we must heal our own souls, only then we can help others”, is one of Father Galaktions core messages. He lives as a hermit on the holy mountain. Not all monks, however, live as secluded and demure as Father Galaktion. The film team is also received by Father Epiphanios – a gifted and poetic cook who certainly does not disdain the pleasures of life.

A debate rages over the credibility of the Bible. Most archaeologists today have concluded that there’s no evidence that the Exodus of Israelite slaves from Egypt ever happened. Filmmaker Timothy Mahoney faces a crisis of faith: “Is this foundation event of the Bible really just a myth?” He embarks on a 12-year journey around the world to search for answers. Patterns of Evidence: The Exodus unlocks the mystery of this ancient saga, combining a scientific investigation with a retelling of the Exodus story to reveal an amazing pattern of evidence matching the biblical account that may challenge our understanding of history. It features stunning animations, narration by Kevin Sorbo (God’s not dead, Hercules: The Legendary Journey), interviews with leading archaeologists such as Israel Finkelstein, Kent Weeks, and David Rohl, and guest appearances by Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu and Shimon Peres.
