light artist who creates out of this world images with nature's help. so the 1st semifinal of this is your vision song contest has taken place and 7 countries are already out of the competition including former winningest portugal but all straight yes i know they're not anywhere near europe but any country can apply to join in there through with an amazing performance which goes with the title of the song ciro gravity and they certainly seem to define that on stage anyway there are some great performances some totally kitschy performances and there were some right bad ones in the 1st 70 final so it seems your vision could be back to its best this year really. correspondent tanya kramer centers this report from tel aviv where it's all taking place. beach sun and music as the

man a banana at the final on saturday. making people come here and see how amazing israel is giving us a chance to show how how how big of a party we can make and how amazing and genuine it can be energy wise. wow. 41 nations are competing to win europe's oldest song contest it's the 3rd time israel has hosted it security has been beefed up along the beach promenade but the ever glitzy event has not escaped the country of the sea. international palestinian and israeli artists signed petitions to urge of this just a way from the event now that it's arrived they still want to highlight what they see as the political reality. let's stop for a 2nd try to look at reality from a bit higher perspective not only this you know the speech is really beautiful and

everybody is happy and smiling and the beer is the city. but just a few kilometers from here are really. crazy things are happening here at the eurovision press center politics couldn't be further away the organizer of the contest the european broadcasting union has said strict rules spending politics from the stage among bloggers and journalists covering the event it's all about who is going to win this year's contest the dutch entry is one of the favorites lawrence duncan with kind of a cheesy nice ballad isn't 1st place but my favorite and my bad hopefully is be a little fascinated the french singer 19 years old muslim gate and he's now climbed up to 4th place in the odds hopefully he'll win sweden with john ludwick in 2nd place so it's weird in france holland that's the big battle fewer foreign visitors than expected have turned up but this pop icon madonna making

a guest appearance the final on saturday is to sold out. another huge event that's underway here in europe is the cam film festival and head of the jury that is gonzales' inyati to regard. by many to be the greatest living film director around today he's the only one in 65 years to win back to back best director oscar was for but man in 2014 and the next year he got it for the revenant now it's his turn to hand out prizes at the 72nd cannes film festival in the south of france. at cannes the big questions are who's wearing what on the red carpet and what film will the jury pick to win the palme d'or this year for the 1st time the cannes dury is led by a mexican director a 100 consol is inyati to. i don't know how it's going to work to tell you

a true i have never been a precedent i have never control anything even my sets not my family nothing so i have pressed into one of the most awkward kind of situation and mexican president it's in your help so then what is his plan as can jury president and how will he and the rest of the jury 3 more directors 2 actors a scriptwriter and a comic book creator be looking for the winners i would like to see this film see we will not know who directed it you know i think no no time no experience no name no fame no gender nothing should be take there i think for respect of cinema and for the people who made it i think we should just film by by if by the film by the art itself. in his own movies and yet he too is known for his striking visual style and often grim subject matter. in 2000 he made his directorial debut with the intensely emotional a modest perilous about the cruel world of dog fighting in mexico city. was that it

is these have got a little bit if you give us a little cousin to give us a scene in which the sequel being just kooky. because it also does mr i'm going to buy that in a bad ass super good movie when the critics week grand prize it can and was not. unaided for an academy award for best foreign language film that is it's. inyati to his 2nd feature film 21 grams is about the convergence of 3 lives with sean penn as a terminally ill mathematician. this is beneath you don't toto as an ex convict and they owe me watts as a grieving mother. i hope sean penn won best actor for his role at the venice film festival but you ought. to see if this is too.

much of a nutty to his work focuses on the human condition and his 2015 dark comedy birdman is no different it's a film about love and acceptance michael keaton plays a former super hero trying to breathe new life into his stagnant career the film won 4 oscars including best director. talking about. her place. in the revenant leonardo dicaprio gets attacked by a bear in addition to being shot and stabbed. in yeti 2 fared somewhat better than his main character the film won him his 2nd oscar for best director academy after receiving so many awards it will soon be in jada to use turn to hand out a few himself one thing is for sure it won't be a netflix movie to win the palme d'or for the 2nd here running the cannes film festival has banned movies made by the online streaming service. and of

course we'll bring you more from cannes as it continues over the next 10 days now are shapes like these appearing behind me appear in the middle of a not a landscape name but dread bright these shining geometric shapes they are the work of the spanish lights and landscape artists. over 10 years ago the lecturer in fine art quit his job so he could dedicate his life to his art which is painting with lights made his work gives us a completely new perspective on our natural environment. 3 dimensional sculptural and has a graphic artist have e.l.t.'s his light installations geometric shapes projected on to nature not just spanish artists trademark. not a moment or so i'm always seeking these almost magical moments in my works i'm trying to find out whether there is

a harmonious relationship between geometry and nature. you know such a harmony that would move us emotionally and which goes beyond our normal perception of nature. brianna's career really took off in 2009 with a large solid photography exhibition in the arena sofia and madrid since then he's carried out my projections in numerous public spaces. very eric installations a much more than just entertainment. sometimes i feel this sort of reverberation which goes beyond our daily perception and beyond how we normally experience nature seymour's throughout the rest of this outlet those moments are precious and very fulfilling for me is. beneficial to and i'd even go so far as to say i live for these kinds of experiences. beba border city

bowl experience is. the artist says he experiences unspoiled nature elemental tranquil an enigmatic through his projections brianna hopes to share his experience visually he also makes large scale photos of the results. brianna designs his geometric forms to feature chosen landscape in his matric studio his work follow strict mathematical rules simply using image editing software to superimpose is out of the question. for me the right geometry complements the place. you can't do that on a computer but when i finished a geometric form it will look like there's a key to another dimension you can't get that effect on screen and.

tonight's conditions in the mountains outside madrid are ideal thanks to a full moon have the area has a natural light source for his long exposure is. the resulting photo. a magical. wow finally at sotheby's in new york an impressionist painting has for the very 1st time topped the $100000000.00 market auction one of claude monet as iconic paintings of haystacks was sold on tuesday for 100 $10700000.00 that's nearly $100000000.00 euros the work depicts stacks of harvested wheat belonging to monetise neighbor enjoy in france the new owner remains anonymous person selling it as dan rather well having bought it in 1906 for a mere $2500000.00 i and that rounds off the show for the day much more about
