lates and the same industry even for those who've been in the business for a long time so you can imagine how it is when you already win an oscar as a student since nine hundred seventy two the student oscar has been awarded in four categories in los angeles this year two of the awards will go to young german tenants including director ben lot from handbook who's winning entry is based on a two story. right muslims and christians are traveling together through kenya. to vandalize film what to watch all of us is based on the true story. islam is terrorist attack of us they want to murder all the christians. for her film ben wright has won a student academy award in the short narrative international category the film that

impressed the jury in los angeles was her leaving project for the hamburg school. and i'd just done my taxes and was scanning in some i see it's on the telephone rang in the other room my display said it was beverly hills calling or so yes that was the famous call from hollywood only with. the film is based on an incident in kenya in two thousand and fifteen. have been watch read a news item about how muslim travellers have protected christians from a terrorist attack the german students researched the subject for months and then shot the film on location together with a kenyan film team then watch and you'll hear from the writer and editor face lots of competition for the student academy awards over fifteen hundred entries in four categories they won't know if what you want to all of us will be taking home gold silver or bronze until october twelfth whichever it is their hard work has already

paid off and they had their share of stressful moments. we spent eleven days on the shoot over what i have to subtract about health that time because so much kept going wrong and so many things happening that made choosing impossible had been my starting with generators that broke down at the worst possible moment which happened several times because my camera was stolen the lead actor was thrown in jail because those guys were many my. the situations that trained us to keep cool. that's why. students from the hamburg media school have already won five student academy awards and many other accolades at least one student oscar has gone to a german production every year since two thousand and eleven so what is the secret of the young german filmmakers success in the movie could come two thousand and one reason could be that because of their history the germans treat the issues of the times very seriously and they're less introspective than you would normally expect

different artist is with us from princeton and i'm on the boat about. this second winning german entry is also set in africa yohannes price is documentary deals with illegal gold mining in ghana. it was made by students from the bottom vertebrata film academy. yet is that good and not get the numbers of women and men currently studying in german film academies are about equal but only three female directors from germany have won a student academy award film production is still largely male domain. the initiative pro quo to raise to change that. to top i'm even so i wouldn't want to be placed on a job because of some clothes but rather because they want me because of what i can do and will go on to learn and contribution in the way of life experience and empathy and whatever else is required for the job. of writing your has no worries

about his students' futures the director of the hamburg media school's film program believes that with increasing experience women filmmakers will eventually catch up with today's older male dominated generation. then these are going to go through on once this generation is made way for the next lots of room for the women who are now coming from the universities and film academies there what may take a while yet of in the by the both of those. but you've been right is already planning her next project and looking forward to donning the director's cap for the shoot. but first she'll make time for a little trip to hollywood. but we're not heading to hollywood now our next stop is italy where our you mix express starts today with a well expensive fangirl that goes down a tree with pests. it's

white gold season the famous albo white truffle world market is currently underway in northern italy people flock to the historic town of alba in piedmont to buy the fragrant fungo it affordable prices truffles have been considered a delicacy for thousands of years and the older truffle is especially highly prized one kilo can fetch up to five thousand euros. italian truffles are a much loved delicacy the world over. the. sparks are flying at the new exhibition at the prado museum in madrid the chinese artist zygotes shannon creates works with burning gunpowder on canvas that literally go off with a bang. one result is this lion which looks like it's eating the sun. so i explores the idea that gun powder can be used in both good ways and bad the spirit of painting runs from october twenty fifth to march fourth twenty eighteen.

take french ball but i asked for example in her also biographical novel amar she tells the story of the late mother who was a small jet fighter as she is. she's still pretty good with their fists but then it's all go it's had to combat prejudice racism and violence from an early age when she was eight her father and little sister died in a fire in their apartment block would have been deliberately sad no wonder she has so much fighting spirit. as a young girl i had huge anger in me. we had to deal with so much injustice. people close to me die and people i loved. i didn't have a proper childhood. when my father died i had to grow up and take on a lot of responsibility it was too much for a child to. i as parents were immigrants who come to france from mali

she grew up in the by. the notoriously rough outskirts of paris and african immigrants in france are expected to assimilate but for many upholding the culture of their home countries the only way they can retain their identity the rest of us . who don't know what it is simulation demands that we relinquish part of our identity. i don't believe in assimilation you can't expect a child to deny its cultural background it's completely counterproductive if there's a hierarchy of culture that's very problematic a child with american or spanish parents doesn't stand out. but with children with african or arab parents their background is instantly suspect. i as a so-called wrote her novel mom for her late my. her role model she was a fighter too after the violent death of her husband she opted not to marry again

but to raise her children alone it was a decision that went against the customs of the traditional molly and community in paris diocese ocoee is left to buy new behind her with the help of her boxing skills and willpower these days she gets recognized on the street but she is not prepared to accept the role as the good immigrant. no civil service is like you can see only it's difficult to be seen as a role model. i decided to act to achieve something if that bothers someone that's not my problem. so i'm not going to be a quote political figure i mentioned who takes on racist xenophobes and so on. and i'm just living my life. i mean well maybe i is a socal was female as much a world boxing champion three times but gave it up when i was cervical vertebra fracture left her paralyzed on one side she recovered and went on to study politics

at an elite university then she began writing. first of all i had to learn to control my anger i told myself i had to stop punishing myself with things i'm not responsible for. i managed to turn my rage into something positive. and my writing is proof of. my essay so go right to the way she boxes she doesn't pull any punches she someone who literally far away free of the constraints of tradition but who's not afraid to celebrate her roots and she certainly has no plans to throw in the towel and in time so. perhaps some people would go to church at christmas again but for the rest of the year most of the houses of worship in germany. when people don't come to church the church has to come to the people. spreading the word from all the book probably took this

sentence from the bible literally the pastor has been on tour with an inflatable house of god for years he likes it when his on usual church is close to the water because for this traveling man of god kitesurfing is heaven on earth. carsten holcomb of the traveling pastor from northern germany takes to his board whenever he can. either it's brilliant there's nobody on the water or not much wind but this is wonderful it's a drama. being out on the water with our maker and you can switch off and really take things to the limits it's awesome. welcome

is just as unconventional as his house of god. portable and inflatable it's a kind of bouncy church. that isn't in courts you have to take care that the cross is blown up properly and standing tall because it's done and up she goes past and it will come by tours mainly northern germany with his itinerant church hitting the cutting events in festivals along the way like this one on the beach in santa fe to ording. i take this church to kind serving festivals like this because i meet people who wouldn't normally have anything to do with the church and. the motto of our project is if the people don't go to church anymore then the church has to go to the people. this is a church with a difference when the father of three got the idea for it nine years ago he didn't feel like carrying on as a pastor is when he sees himself more as

a travelling servant for the lord plus it's a way to combine pleasure and profession and have a surroundings or different life if you don't have the formality and you can sit and drink your latte money on your own still talk about the. or listen to a sermon is what it's more relaxed here on the beach people of the time they generally wouldn't have in their daily routine. here they're more willing to engage in a conversation. with a service the transformation from kite surfer to clergyman is official. ok most started out as a youth pastor became a parish pastor and now he travels

a lot representing his free church holding services and giving sermons on the beach whenever he has a chance. he's even married a couple in his bouncy church and the fifty two year old pastors face is every bit as airtight as the church aligned. you know. even joy and i wish you all a really beautiful day here at the kite festival and for you to hear words like i am with you always have no fear and for you to know that you write dignified people on this. i think that's a message that quite a lot of people can really use i don't want to force it on anyone but i myself live by my friend through hard times and i draw sustenance knowing that i'm secure that i'm protected that i'm aware god will not let me down but he's with me by me. hang gliding also plays an important part in carstens life he's been a keen fan for over thirty years you know. is that thing fairest. you know. not

a lifestyle. a christian a pastor kite surfer and hang glider he sees no conflict there only genuine experience this whole thing we don't get always just knocks me over here i have the kind i can do all this from my one of just a small percentage of the population is living such a great life. carsten holcombe is a pastor with a mission to bring the church to the people wherever they may be. however surfing isn't just something pastors and other humans enjoy some dogs also like a dog there are any malls they can stay on the board and right away going for walk is not the only thing dogs like to do in our ranking high five we have summarized
