my colleague melissa holroyd is with me now the seams are something for every taste of the festival melissa absolutely it is something for everyone it is

a huge festival and increasingly in recent years hollywood has been paying a lot of hollywood has been paying a lot of attention to it one good thing i think about the festival is that there are a lot of young people there i think one in every 4 visit is a students of animation now you've chosen a couple of movies that have caught your eye and the 1st war is about whose hand that's right yeah the 1st one is i lost my body it's terrific that jeremy clap on it's his debut film it was added late to the festival program it won that recently the prestigious nespresso award at cannes it's about a hand a dismembered hand who escapes from a dissection lab and jumps and rolls and crawls and it's scary as its way across the city with one crucial goal to return to its body the film also jumps back and forth in time so we also get to see life before the accident the hand belonged to

a once happy boy and his past is explored through a type of sense memory so the scenes from today are juxtaposed with these scenes from the past with the hand is experiencing different things like picking up grains of sand on of beach. it's a very very convincing film it also has a nice mix of 2 and 3 d. animation. and sounds very touching but now i believe you've got a darker scene from the movie whether it's a problem. folky

all good but that's. let's lighten it up a bit there's a tribute festival to japanese and animation which has a long history of course and a new japanese film is called your art yeah it's called ride your wave it's by message aki you are side he's an on the sea prize winner and it's also in the feature film competition graduate is an elemental love story that follows him a coat she loves surfing in the water and total ation ship with mina time he's a firefighter he's good on land but he's not so good in the water things are going well until mina toat loses his life in an accident at sea when everyone else is trying to get to the military's dead in a car and hangs on to her friend spears who reappears again and again in the form

of water but sometimes not it's not i'm finally though a french film but in afghanistan you have the swallows of kabul it's code directed by a very popular french actress by the name of bret man it's based on the bestselling novel of the same name the story is set in kabul in 1998 and shortly after the fundamentalist taliban came into power to follows the lives of 2 couples that are linked it's about oppression and resistance but it's also about love and to suit of truth in an atmosphere of lies there are plenty of heavy scenes in this in this film it's from the daily humiliations to the public executions and some people could say that that that might be too much for audiences in the terms of live storytelling but critics and critics also say that the soft watercolors can also

distract from the tyranny of the taliban ok melissa holroyd thank you very much. also in france the women's football world cup is well underway we met up with melo did all shave from paris control of football like no other and yet she's not playing in the tournament because she's a freestyle and is the only female to have won all 3 major titles in the freestyle football world. and injury put paid to our ambitions as a private didn't stop her fascination with the beautiful. co-ordination ball control and balance it seems middleby don't she from paris has it all she's one of the world's best football freestylers genesis i like freestyle because it's a very free sport without rules above all it's a not

a mix of football basketball and done it's. a neat injury put an end to her professional soccer career over 10 years ago the middle east stayed on the ball transitioning smoothly to free style along with speed and energy technique is paramount and she quickly mass deceive in complex tricks thanks to my favorite tricks called use of the stall. it goes like this you balance the pull on the sole of one foot with the other foot to one side the. middle of the joint the street style society or s 3 in 2010 as it's only female member but she's more than a match for the team mates for years she trained 4 to 5 hours a day. to question a class native me right from the start when i was one or 2 years old my mother gave me some dolls and i threw them in the trash but when she gave me a bowl i was really happening. football's always been a part of my life. really be his book for events the world over she takes part

regularly in international tournaments she's won the freestyle world championship title 4 times like here in 2016 in london. better for diesel truck been free styling for 10 years now i've been to around 50 countries and met lots of well known football as there was recently i got to know naima i met christiane and we're now doing japan. middleby has also become a social media success with her tricks with the ball videos like this one of a handstand being seen around the world to a 5 do you feel it wasn't that hard for me to establish myself in this sport since i've been playing for my early years. and right from the start i played with boys. the moment she stopped him with the ball she's the center of attention as

a woman who's mastered the ball she raises eyebrows. this is why i think it's great that women can play at this level and deliver a performance like that i see this skill with the ball as a not so long one but when it's unusual for a woman to handle the ball into freestyle say well normally you only see boys doing that. in these states women's football is getting more and more attention. to. how much to sort of darkly think it's good that women's football keeps on developing and of course they'll be watching the women's world championships this time they're being held in france she knew so forced. shay's determined to show that she's just as good as the guys. while german writer esther kinski started out as a translator of poetry and novels. before she took the plunge as a writer after living in london for some years she moved to the bombed out region

a little holiday resort by the river. there are the locals tell who's just left his wife for a pretty newcomer u.v. his wife who can't believe it and lots of botching the junk dealer whose entire pride is the swimming pool he has just ordered and then there are the people who've come here on their summer vacation. most women are called or modica they stand on the sandy paths between the summer houses in their bikini's the breeze brushes their temples they squint in the sun and call to each other in hoarse voices their size rub against each other when they traipse through the gray yellow sand and high heeled glitter slippers and bare their flesh from garden to garden gate the wind blows dust always dust between their feet in turns toes and foot soles great talent. this summer an empty paradise ends in tragedy but will that. anything or will everything keep going down the same sad old path for such
