It’s a funny movie about fictional problems happening at the French-Belgian border in the 1990’s. A couple scenes are a bit too violent for my taste but all in all, it’s a film worth seeing if one just wants to relax and have fun. The Northern region of France where the movie Continue Reading

Since it’s preferable to power the stage with natural ass than natural gas and other fossil fuels, Pedal Power has developed a live human-powered system that does just that without sacrificing professional sound quality.
Clear Films has covered the first Pedal Powered concert of its size in NY if not US history! The Water Festival took Continue Reading

I was surprised to hear that Malta’s Parliament finally passed a law yesterday allowing divorce in Malta. I was not aware that there was still a country of the EU that didn’t allow divorce until now. I thought that being able to divorce is a condition in order to be part of Continue Reading

Post-reunification debates about the Palace’s fate need not be reproduced here in further detail (for more information on that, see the film A DEMOCRATIC DECISION).

There, one can admire pictures of the Berliner painter Max Liebermann (1847-1935). He made these paintings during trips to the Dutch coast at the beginning of the 20th century. The location of the exposition Continue Reading

If the sun won’t shine, there’s always a sunflower! Snapped this beauty in the parking lot of our realeyz.tv offices. Guerrilla gardening bears fruit! Try it. Just throw some seeds into the ground. Eventually, something will grow. In the sand box behind our building, there were a whole bunch of sunflower seedlings growing straight and Continue Reading

It tells the story of a Texan family who loses a son in the 1950’s. Starting from this story as a basis, the film asks questions about the origins of life and what happens after death. This is at least how I understand it. The film is hard to follow as it is composed of the story Continue Reading

Marietta Kesting, Aljoscha Weskott: Sunny Land
A film shoot in South Africa. Sun City revisited at swimming pools and edutainment centers. An essay film that provocatively responds to the paintings of Edward Hopper and early Warhol films through its cementing of boredom as a state of being.
