B.C. Between the pressure of the growing Roman Empire and
the fall of Hellenistic kingdoms, will the old civilizations
survive ? Will their wonderful monuments disappear?
From the pyramids of Egypt to the
Lighthouse of Alexandria and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon,
we follow the odyssey of Antipater of Sidon to discover
his famous list of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Between fascination and dangers, the odyssey through Africa,
Middle East and Europe reveals the monuments that have
changed the history of architecture. Many books, paints,
or movies have offered images of the Wonders in backgrounds
of scenes of fiction. How many just approached the true?
In 7 steps, the Wonders return to
life in a docudrama for an international and educational
audience. The project wants to be a reference on Antiquity
by providing a wide panorama on the period. A lost heritage
that is reborn with archeology and technology: a mix of
real shootings in the landscapes of Africa, Asia and Europe,
a strong fictional adventure and spectacular HD GCI reconstructions
of the monuments. Both historical and technical aspects
are a challenge to film and composite this realistic 3D
film. An exciting project to produce that already interest
partners in Europe and Mediterranean area.
