Turning (2011)

documentary film

The film focuses on 13 New York City-based women who appeared with Antony and the Johnsons in the band's European tour in the Autumn of 2006. During the concert, each subject rotated slowly on a turntable platform on stage, her features blown up and transfigured on a screen behind Anohni and her band, then known as Antony and the Johnsons. Atlas incorporated the 13 personalities in the film and music through candid shots and playful banter to define his picturesque subjects on screen.

Ape to Man (2005)

Animal Documentary, Documentation

Ape to Man: Theory of evolution is a dramatised documentary on the scientific community's attempts to find evidence of the missing link between early hominids and anatomically modern humans. This documentary follows a timeline journey of discoveries from 1856, around the time of the publication of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, to 2005, analysing the impact each discovery had on the theories of human evolution. The story starts with German schoolteacher (and former anatomy student) Johann Fuhlrott in 1856, recognising that a skull and legbone found in a cave differed enough from modern humans to possibly be a missing link.
