Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galor

Large industrial complexes, built of solid brick tell the story of industrialization of 19th century Leipzig. Where spinning wheels once rattled, chimneys smoked and thousands of workers carried out their daily work, new life has moved in over the past few years. Today, former factories are home to artists' studios, galleries and manufactories. The term Inchindustrial cultureInch is taken literally here. The Kunstkraftwerk Leipzig is one of these buildings that tell the story of time and was now the chosen location for a very special audio and video production the exceptional Korean pianist Sunwook Kim played Ludwig van Beethoven's last three Piano Sonatas op. 109-111 in an industrial setting framed by light projections that filled the brick hall. Beethoven's last three piano sonatas occupy a very special place within his oeuvre. Completely deaf by then, the composer puts three of his most intimate and personal works on paper, which at the same time radiate optimism and point musically into the future like hardly any other works.

The rugged coast of our biggest state harbors the most incredible wildlife in America. Nat Geo Wild cameras take an intimate look at Alaskan wildlife from winter to summer. When winter breaks, bears and wolves must make the most of the endless sunshine before darkness again closes in on their world. We are front-and-center as bears wake from hibernation hungry and patrol the coast looking for any nourishment they can find. In the summer, we'll see Alaska with 24 hours of sunlight, and ice well out to sea. On a stretch of beach near the northernmost point of America, up to 25,000 walrus crowd the shore. Getting up close to Alaska's magnificent creatures, including polar bears, salmon and whales, cameras capture the beauty of their homeland.
