Дом, за порядок и покой в котором он отныне отвечал, жил своей размеренной спокойной жизнью: разве что мальчишки за забором взорвут петарду или напугают сторожа дядю Петю "приведением" из простыни. Немногочисленная обслуга отнеслась к Стасу внимательно и заботливо. Вот только садовница Светлана как-то в штыки воспринимала все нововведения охранника. Правда, очень быстро неприязнь переросла в хорошие отношения, а те – в любовь.

Verso
Verso
Verso — turning to things and landscapes, reading them. A movement along things, as if tracing written lines, in order to understand or to grasp, take up, collect them—keeping them around, sustained in memory. There, they continue to rearrange and refocus into sharp or nearly sharp images. These slip and shift, allowing room for a new direction. All the gaze can hold is the single motif from a movement that continues onward. It is my father who stands up. He wants to see. This impulse draws multiple lines—in getting up, in crossing a field of stones, then in the descent of a memory, in slipping and piecing together.

Street
Street
A small man (hat, tie, case) is waiting on a busy city road for the moment he can cross the street. But when the crossing lights turn green, it does not necessarily mean the cars cooperate. An animation in an angular style, stripped down to its essence, in which the figures are first drawn and later seem cut-out. An agitated tune further speeds up the tempo of this one-minute big-city tale.

1982: La Decisión del Presidente
The documentary depicts the decay of one of Mexico's most prosperous macroeconomic situations (the era called "The Mexican Miracle") and the government's responsibility on this matter after increasing world interest rates, decreasing oil prices, rising inflation, a deteriorating balance of payments and a chronically overvalued national currency (Mexican peso), that spurred massive capital flight and a lack of international reserves. These events culminated in three devaluations of the peso in 1982 and the famous nationalization of Mexico's private banking system under the presidency of José López Portillo. -Edgar Cochran-

Unnamed Film
Unnamed Film
Another kind of utopia is presented in the films of Naomi Uman, whose search for her family roots in the Ukraine led her to move to the small village of Legedzine. In "Unnamed Film", she shoots the old bubushka ladies as they expertly prepare pickles, pick vegetables, and sing odes to vodka. Shot on 16mm with non-sync sound, it has an intimate, handmade quality, only heightened by the use of explanatory inter-titles in place of subtitles. Uman’s Ukrainain was weak, so she wanted the viewer to have the same experience as she did, just getting the gist of things. As with Uruphong’s work, there is a nostalgia for the old ways, which were self-sufficient but took an incredible toll on the body. The bubushkas complain about their aching backs and the never-ending poverty, spiking any drift towards romanticization.

Few bands are more closely associated with Montreux than Deep Purple and there was simply no other contender when it came to choosing the act to headline the closing night of the 40th Montreux Festival in 2006. The band duly delivered one of their finest live performances, sprinkling songs from their latest album "Rapture Of The Deep" through a set chock full of their classic tracks. There was even a brand new song "Too Much Fun" written especially for the occasion and, of course, a show-stopping performance of "Smoke On The Water".

Neveneffecten - Zinloos Geweldig
Neveneffecten - Zinloos Geweldig
Neveneffecten is een cabaretviertal bestaande uit Jonas Geirnaert, Lieven Scheire, Koen De Poorter en Jelle De Beule. Jonas en Lieven zijn in het echte leven dubbele neven: de moeder van de ene is de zus van de vader van de andere; en de vader van de ene is de broer van de moeder van de andere. Dubbele neven dus, vandaar de naam Neveneffecten. In november 2003 reden Neveneffecten in een geleende Nissan Micra 372 km noordwaarts naar het Groninger Studenten Cabaret Festival. Twee dagen later keerden ze terug – toegegeven: in dezelfde Nissan Micra – maar ook met de hoofdprijs en een geweldig juryrapport. De voorstelling groeide van 30 naar 90 minuten, en De Morgen vond de première van Zinloos Geweldig de beste comedvoorstelling van 2004. Neveneffecten tourde vervolgens door Vlaanderen en Nederland, maar niet altijd in de Nissan Micra want Jonas zijn ma had hem soms zelf nodig.
