just got a i mean you see. people from all over the world come to the festival workshops with famous artists like i said is reduce our quickly booked up. lots of dancers have come especially from asia many are there for the long haul taking courses during the day going to concerts at night and living at illusion stop. pure and simple others like you only have the wealthy are always happy but famine behalf different follows different feelings. expressed every day well that's flattering boys different even though it's the same music but depends on the feeling when dance i think this is just why am. i. this is why i can't. midnight performances in the but day goes of head as a particularly popular because. it is a homage to the women. it's the classical side of flamenco.

flamingo it's not the mango as a living culture it just continues to evolve as it should in the traditional form of flamenco should progress too but there are artists who are fighting for real advances sort of want to express what moves them right now to the quay. and it's this cultural diversity that makes this festival so special. thanks to his music is special because statistically speaking more people are

when mattie has met on my own put something on your plate he's waiting for what he calls the wow effect. the food designer has learned his craft in paris are underfed on duty out in spain and in several three star restaurants and now he runs a school for master parts in bavaria at best his sweet creations are a feast for all the senses and he tells us why perfectionism and passion don't always go hand in hand. these cakes are tiny works of art. their own created by food design or much ts me to my. shop to improve the coverage of the civil i got

a job that isn't actually needed in this world nobody needs chocolate all praying is ok chief so the question is how do i get customers to come to me for my luxury products when i think by staring emotions. it would sort of us lose it. mathias mr meyer is head of a bavarian pettis or reschooling he teaches professionals and hobby chefs the art of making exquisite treats anyone can learn the tricks of the trade but much he says it's not about being passionate about making. it look like shock of passion might have a cook who will improvise with a pinch of this or a pinch of that but that doesn't help with the participation if i must follow the recipe to the latter especially with things like the clothes the cream could end up rock solid or running fast fizzy it's too much he asked baking is like science his favorite ingredient is liquid nitrogen he combines cream white chocolate and

a boy and in chile has everything to minus one hundred ninety six degrees celsius using the nitrogen to make a crunchy popcorn like substance. he also creates a short cake base in a few seconds with the help of a cream dispenser and a microwave. then he answers raspberries and the ice cold popcorn and while it's done but he says anyone can make this kind of cake. this isn't the right place for a good old zach a daughter to take a mobile cake where i mean for real high end baking into. a case in point is a shiny icing made from pureed fruit sugar condensed milk and gelatin. this tiny treat is fluffy and soft smooth but also firm and features chocolate and fruity aroma. the

a labrat decorations are all handmade and upscale treat through and through. but mathias is never satisfied. no never any honest professional would say the same that's ok it might sound shocking at times but it's a good thing because nothing is ever perfect it's perfect if perfection existed there will be no progress in our talking it is a good thing this is too. much he has worked so hard he wants others to be wound by his creations to him that's the icing on the case. of the countdown is on just a few days to go until oscar night in l.a. and all this week in our series we're featuring the european nominees and so today

we look at the category for best documentary film where the who will be ninety years old in may is the oldest nominee in oscar history for her film and titled faces places as one of the driving forces of the french new wave film movement her impact on modern cinema has been huge and her documentary is a collaboration with french photographer and street artist. who is more than fifty years her junior. co-directed jr used a cardboard cutout of vanguard to represent in hollywood the geo joined up for the documentary faces places they hit the road with a mobile photo studio and travelled through rural france looking for people and the tales they had to town. as this is the film already won the most popular international documentary award at the twenty

seven team vancouver international film festival. it's her and a another artist jr who falls and they are separated by decades age wise but they're very similar in the way they look at the world i think that's very very interesting she takes she finds a bridge between them and shows symbolically how can be a bridge between between people last year. already received an honorary oscar for her life's work now with her co-director she's been nominated in the best documentary category. the recognition is for scenes like these abandoned houses they discovered in southern france they were never finished and already indicated may encourage residents from the next village to transform the place into a work of art which. she's very focused on things that you can see she comes from

photography and she's very focused on on specific images but she uses them as symbols and as sort of an argument most for films are basically they're not as much documentaries as they are essays sort of arguments with the audience and with herself and that's what this film is two. dollars film debut came in one thousand nine hundred fifty five with low point. i. to day the work is seen as a precursor of the french new wave or new event. this style of french film began to revolutionize cinema in the late one nine hundred fifty s. films were shot on location with hand-held cameras narratives were unusual. whether it's a feature film or a documentary and yes father style as a parent and unmistakable she wants to write films as if they were essays.

little vein from my aim is to find a film that organically and spontaneously evolves on its own guineas and they can spot any deep and that certainly won't happen on a piece of graph paper. she's one of the first to say even in the documentary form there's no such thing as pure fact it's all a choice of what image we show how we make the ad that what we we choose not to show and she makes that very obvious in the choices that she makes in her films i think that's what makes her stand out and what makes her filmmaking so so unique. last man in aleppo is another documentary in the running for an oscar it depicts life in a city pounded into rubble during the syrian civil war. but is small enough to jail tells the story of

a little new york bank that became the only one in the u.s. to end up in court as a result of the financial crisis in two thousand and eight. icarus is a documentary about the russian doping program before the twenty fourteen winter olympics in sochi and has the pace of a suspense thriller. and then there is strong island which is about the shooting of a young blacks. mine in the us two decades ago just by the great deal of evidence the killer never appeared in court. can't get to you again so yes found on time co-directed jr facing some tough competition. a lot of people consider sort of the one of the great pioneering feminist directors and so i think it's great that that her film was nominated and has got the sort of recognition it will be a huge surprise i think if it won the documentary but you know fingers crossed you never know. whether it gets an oscar or

not this extraordinary film is packed with so many powerful images. powerful images of course make the magic of cinema and many filmmakers and film actors are on the edge of their seats for sunday night off because their money and while we're on the topic why do people like money in a detail a shot hitchcock and ridley scott have in common you're about to find out because here are. five famous european actors and directors who never won an oscar for. much of a mystery on is starred with the need to work in the adult game world fame. his iconic role in marriage italian style how to make italian cinema known in the u.s. . time magazine named him favorite for an actor in one nine hundred sixty two but

he still didn't come away with an oscar we've got much animal story on in fifth place in a film career that spanned nearly half a century he was nominated three times but never won the coveted trophy. he's shunned as a roman general. by. an angry spouse. but richard burton never won an oscar. never the less the worst one was nominated for the award for his first hollywood film in the one nine hundred fifty three. richard burton and six more nominations. nominated richard burton. richard burton richard richard burton richard burton but he never won any of them we put him in fourth place the star died in one thousand nine hundred four without an oscar to his name

. the academy also overlooked one of the greatest heroines of stage and screen. is in third place among the oscar list stars. enough of the. hollywood to really got off to a flying start the berlin native came to fame with the blue angels. the first u.s. film a rock o'gara nomination but no trophy. still malina day to advanced quickly to become one of the best paid actresses of all time but was never in the running for another ask. this englishman could prey upon human fear like no other. good evening ladies and gentlemen. alfred hitchcock directed fifty three movies and was nominated for his work on five of them including the box office hit real window. top light show.

and psycho. was never a ward of the trophy. but he has won second place among our famous european directors and stars that have never won an oscar. he dryly commented on the german talk show nine hundred sixty six. brides never. he did receive a special award in one nine hundred sixty eight for particularly creative film produces. will this englishman face a similar fate with ridley scott in first place an academy award has always been looted him personally yes his works like alien. and blade runner are the magic masterpiece. he received nominations for films like film and luis gladiator and black hawk down but never walked away with

a top prize for directing. discuss is now eighty but he's still making about a film a year so he might yet be in with a chance for an oscar. well it might not look like this but i'm willing to bet that you have also won a prize or an award at some point in your lives maybe it was a sporting trophy or a certificate or something perhaps completely different but we would love to know so do feel free to send us a picture of yourself with your favorite or most valued award you can upload it on to our website and as a thanks for your feedback there is your remarks watch up for grabs so best of luck and we certainly hope you'll play along and we'll finish now with one of the best known photographers of the real east germany i would say in the one nine hundred eighty s. haha to capture the countless contradictions in the day to day of a country that was already headed for decline and while the opposition hailed his critical eye he claims he was only photographing what he saw and now his work is on

show here in berlin and viewers can make their own judgment. some say that youth is the best time of your life and that was also the case in east berlin in the 1980's although many of these black and white photographs have a melancholy tone they are also rich and write humor. photographer hagel housetop captured all the facets of daily life in east berlin during the last decade he called the collapse of communism in east germany. as a photographer i'd say i'm following the tradition of photographers like. in the one nine hundred fifty s. started running around the streets like stray dogs. now an exhibition of one hundred works by house filed here in the german capital depicts everyday life in the former east berlin the presentation has sparked international interest. these are the photos show

a period of time that we actually lived through and that's the great impression that remains. for me the people were ok and it was fun with those people with. whether they were soldiers bikers or punks house fans works treat them all as equals. and there's a great amount of empathy and hotels felts photos he's got compassion for those who've been cast aside societies outside all that's very important and it can't be created artificially. even when the killjoy authorities always kept a watchful eye on things our old house phones pictures show but there were loopholes in east germany spaces for petulant east germans to slip through. and even though some of his photographs became famous he hasn't become rich from them. so it's enough for me to live on i don't need five houses scattered around the

world that's absurd. if you were one currently looking for suitable studio apartment been used to fit into our marriage i'm happy we travel. it's enough and that's just fine but the focus. on the exhibition can be ordered as a series of posters many have already been sent abroad showing our old house phones take on a life in the former east germany to people around the globe. and with that our time is already up so thanks very much for watching i hope you enjoy the show and until we meet again all the best from us in berlin ok does there and by. next time on your own max interior designer patrick chauvin is playful and anything but boring he's won't pay for his house in the french city of new york in living color
