Start: 16 o'clock with the symposium "Human Development in Landscapes", the interdisciplinary project of the Graduate School of the University of Kiel, introduced by it's speaker Prof. Dr. Johannes Müller. Two films show the range: Sahara - Climate and Societies of the Past, where for a period of three years an international team of scientists travelled around the greatest desert of the world – the Sahara – and investigated its climatic history of more than 10,000 years. Shown out of competition is Okolište, which presents the results of the archaeological investigations of the neolithic tell Okolište in Central-Bosnia, where for years Kiel's Institute of Prehistory and Early History was also involved.

At seven o'clock p.m. the new Cinarchea-Trailer opens up the evening programme. What will remain? confronts us with a scenario for the future: Assuming that mankind on earth would become extinct in no time, what would they leave behind and what would coming generations of archaeologists come upon then? – Recently divers of the team of the underwater archaeologist Martin Segschneider bumped into the Swedish flagship "Hedwig Sophia", which sunk in the 18th century off Kiel: Remembrance of the Struggle for the Baltic Sea. Afterwards the Filmwerkstatt Kiel invites everyone to a small reception.

On Friday morning youths and students have free admission to a program of short films. The Battle of Harzhorn deals with the discovery of an up to now unknown battlefield in Kalefeld-Oldenrode in Lower Saxony, where in the 3^rd century A.D. Romans and Teutons fought against each other. The contribution From Rome to Germania tells about Roman life and structures in Germania along the Roman-Germanic Limes tells. The Border to Jordan also deals with the search for traces of the Roman civilisation: In today's kingdom of Jordan, where Romans from the 1^st century B.C. up to the Islamic invasion in the 7th century established a network of forts, towers and streets. A retrospective The Money Mouse – which won the audience award in 1996 – guides us into the break.

In today's Egypt we accompany a French team in their search for The Oases of Glass. In The Treasure Finder we become acquainted with the president of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation and former president of the German Archaeological Institute – Hermann Parzinger – and his many facets as a scientist and university lecturer, cultural politician and diplomat.

In the project Casus Belli we follow the approach to understand the great battle between the French and the European alliance under the leadership of Prince Eugene.

In 1998 Once Upon Two Times... A series of twelve films on experimental archaeology won the special price for experimental archaeology for its attempt to show how Stone Age cave paintings might have been created.
