icon while i'm years behind us is in the line up for an academy award. along with things like of the aha winds and mango is one of the things that pops up when we think of spain and currently in the andalusian city of head is the left in the south it's all about this passionate dance and the music that accompanies it for two weeks performances and workshops abound at the annual flamenco festival and because people there grow up with flamenco in their blood it has to be top notch and that's why it's a huge draw for international dance back. taking the audience into the subconscious.

and experimental. takes. so yeah. that's me. and me is an imaginary individual living in a fantasy world. when i create something new i'm like a child living out my fantasy in the fantasy thing with saying i've got this

deeply influenced by roma culture. typical flamenco clothing also has a roma fled. it flashes the figure and features lots of flounces. shops selling the traditional garments of popular when the festival is on this year which red some pebbles are a. styles change every year some designs resemble each other costumes are traditional but they change more than any other type of traditional spanish clothing. a dress like this can cost several hundred euros for and illusion women feel dresses are what the little black dress is to others. i've had about thirty dresses in my life it's the same for my mother and she gave some to me i mean even when i was small i got to put on the dresses and i'll pass them on to my children just got

a i mean. people from all over the world come to the festival which ups with famous artists like i said is 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 evolution style flamenco pure and simple as like you only have wealthy always happy but family to have different different feelings so express every day when you dance i mean going to friends is 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 am i my cultist. midnight performances in the day goes of head as a particularly popular the concept. is a homage to the women. it's the classical side of flamenco.

but i. guess. it's not the mango as a living culture it just continues to evolve as it should. be in the traditional form of flamenco should progress too but there are artists who are fighting for real advances want to express what moves them right now to take a pic i don't know but if they did. and it's this cultural diversity that makes this it is festival so special. well his music is special because statistically speaking more people are prepared

when my tears not 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 to be out in spain and in several three star restaurants and now he runs a school for master passed in the very best his sweet creations are a feast for all the senses and he tells us why perfectionism and passion don't always go hand hand in. these cakes are tiny works of art. they are all created by food designer marketeers mutimer. coverage of this event but i've got a job that isn't actually needed in this world nobody needs chocolate all prelims

ok if so the question is how do i get customers to come to me for my luxury products i think by staring emotions. it would sort of. mathias mr meyer is head of a bavarian pettis aris cool he teaches professionals and hobby chefs the art of making exquisite treats anyone can learn the tricks of the trade but much she says it's not about being passionate about baking. like shock of passion might help a cook who will improvise with a pinch of this or a pinch of that but that doesn't help with a patisserie chef you must follow the recipe to the latter especially with things like the close the cream could end up rock solid or running fast fizzy it's too much he has baking is like science his favorite ingredient is liquid nitrogen he combines cream white chocolate and red white 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 shortcake base in a few seconds with the help of a cream dispenser and a microwave. then he answered 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 sack of daughter pancake amabile cake where aiming for real high and baking into. a case in point is a shiny icing made from pureed fruit sugar condensed milk and gelatin. this twenty treatise fluffy and soft smooth but also firm and features chocolate and fruity aroma. the elaborate 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 life it's all it is a good thing this is so. much he has worked so hard he wants others to be wowed by his creations to him that's the icing on the came. on 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 combo cutout of vanguard to represent in hollywood the geo joined up for the documentary faces places hit the road with a mobile photo studio and traveled 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

seventeen 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 and yes 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 are already in decay 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 a sort of an argument most films are basically that are as much documentary as this they are essays sort of arguments with the audience and with herself and that's what this film is to. dance film debut came in one thousand nine hundred fifty five we could. i. today the work is seen as a precursor of the french new wave or nouvelle. this style of french from 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 bad our style as a parent and unmistakable she wants to write films as if they were essays.

see little vein from my aim is to find a form that organically and spontaneously evolves on its own he saw gagne's they can spot any deep and that certainly won't happen on a piece of graft 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 out at what 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 i want makes her filmmaking so so unique i. last man in a lab 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. a chorus 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 black. mine in the u.s. two decades ago despite a great deal of evidence the killer never appeared in court. can't get a look at so and 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 is 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's oscars their money and while we're on the topic why do people like money in a detail of what 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. but you know my story on is starred with the need to work in adult and 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 last one was nominated for the award for his first hollywood film in nine hundred fifty three. richard burton and six more nominations. nominated richard burton. richard burton richard richard berke richard berke. but he never won any of them we put him in fourth place the star died in one thousand and six out an oscar to his name.

the academy also overlooked one of the greatest heroines of stage and screen. is in third place among the ask a list stars. you know. hollywood really got off to a flying start the berlin native came to fame with the blue angel. the first u.s. film a rock o'gara nomination but no trophy. still money 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. hitchcock 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. he did receive a special award in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight for particularly creative film produces. will this englishman face a similar fate. ridley scott in first place an academy award has always been looted him personally yes his works like alien. and blade runner. masterpiece. he received nominations for films like selma and luis gladiator and black hawk down but never walked away with a top prize for directing. cars 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 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 web. seitan as a thanks for your feedback there is a 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. ha ha of how if i had captured 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 in right humor. photographer happened housetop captured all the facets of daily life in east berlin during the last decade before the collapse of communism in east germany. as a photographer i'd say i'm following the tradition of photographers like the salt who in the one nine hundred fifty s. started running around the streets like stray dogs. now an exhibition of one hundred works by household here in the german capital depicts everyday life in the former east berlin the presentation has sparked international interest. because 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. whether they were soldiers bikers or punks house phones works treat them all as equals. and decent 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 harold households pictures show that 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 leave five houses scattered around the world that's absurd. if you were one currently looking for suitable studio apartment the

new stuff into my marriage i'm happy we travel. it's enough and that's just five days for the king of. the exhibition can be ordered as a series of posters many have already been sent abroad showing our own households take on a life in the former east germany to people around the globe. and at 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 he does them and. next time on your own max interior designer patrick chopin is playful and anything but boring he's one papered his house in the french city of new york in living color and personalized prints each room has a different theme

a matter of taste next time on your own max.
