the subject of his latest film adults in the room. case. to trap the chancellor is waiting with all the other heads of state outraged over the referendum. the financial crisis in 2015 greece is bankrupt and threatens to track the whole of europe down with it prime minister and next his secrecy and his finance minister again inspire a farkas want to salvage what they can in return for propping greece up brussels is demanding radical reforms that are almost impossible to implement farah farkas wants to give greece breathing space but the e.u. is unbending in particular german finance minister volved choice.

appreciate your gesture to by the way i'm not your enemy. veteran director cos the governor attended the world premiere in venice his film dissects the ways the financial bureaucracy in brussels functions. that was the important thing for the movie. people. even sometimes. i think. there. are some of. the lines. but just the only spare of farkas was greek finance minister in 2015 he wrote the book the film is based on using recordings made meetings he attended as head of negotiations for the greek saeed the economics professor stubborn rejection of the bailouts terms and his radical view of the crisis made him a global media star the financial planners were not interested in warnings that the bailout conditions would destroy people's livelihoods and the fright charly economy

we are highly desired as 5 of the new start up. governments our floor of the hilton. this will be dealt with by our superiors. for now we've come to request fires of the ports and the neighbor shipyards to put them up for sale. your mere civil servants you come here to demand files from the minister. for divorce them from now on you'll have the pleasure pressed to our civil servants trying to bring out who's from the form the. change was very negative for the people who are still there how you're the before and the people. at the film that takes an unflinching look at the weighty e.u. political establishment functions and highlights the plight of those who are suffering in a story that is still waiting for a happy ending. so here you are the eliciting.

direction so you both can record the youngest. so folk. anyone with a streak of animal rights activist in them will sit long since have poo pooed the circus especially those troops that travel around with story looking lions and mangy bears because they're just no longer in keeping with the times which is why germany's famous tsukasa fung colleagues found a clever high tech way to forego any animal cruelty but still have that magic of their beautiful beasts. in the beginning was a horse. there are forces made of gold dust and an elephant performing tricks but there are no live animals here so long standing german circus from college is introducing a new era by using holograms. he proudly negative reason you no longer set up our tents on the meadows but often in

a parking lot in the middle of a city as it could be the living conditions for animals are changed through we have to take this into account we have to observe the changing world around us and constantly make the necessary adjustments. room for 3 it will be the holograms or the new stars opening the show. welcome to circus or on kali. and then we'll performers take over to the circus ring is clear let us be. the circus is currently in the northern german city of loopback performing their program storytellers yesterday today and tomorrow the idea is to transport the romantic world of the circus into the 21st century the future is represented by an acrobatic interacting with an industrial robot. circus venture come as a surprise so people should know what is coming home they should say that i've

never seen that with a spin machine called electric light. all these courses and sensation at the circus back in the day and now. we're introducing him. in circles 11 digital laser projectors beam images onto wafer thin metallic netting. a company based in germany's were region which is specializing in augmented reality implemented the idea is that one calli had come up with their co-founder lease team also created a virtual version of the circus tent to calculate the viewing angles of the audience members and then adjust the animations accordingly. that's a thesis on the elephant to recreate the huge surface of an elephant is a very complex task and we use photos to help with the texture i want another friend also has over 14000 little personal some of these. 50000 question. the holograms were tested in a huge studio at

a quarter of their eventual show size. in future they'll be much more interaction and that will be even more interesting element into acrobats will be able to interact directly with the holograms just like an artist makes new arrangements greats new worlds and moves within them. but what do the audiences think is there something missing. but do they think it was about time that real animals left the circus. and i think it's good that there are no more animals because it's not right for them if you really want to see live animals you can go to a zoo and i feel like if i look i think it was breathtaking i really liked it and i've never seen anything like this before but sometimes when you put it was the real beauty closer i was missing the romantic wrong country spirit of the past holograms and technology are not giving me the same flair. we had

a smell of horses was missing a bit but on the whole i liked it and can see. in the next show the virtual world. merge with the real world to even more. what seems certain is that the circus will remain on board of magical surprises. how often have you been on holiday somewhere in the sun is so hot that you decide you have to spontaneously buy a hat or if this happens in europe there is about a 50 percent chance that your hot comes from one small region in italy that's somewhat off the beaten tourist path and that is the market are huge and where they really know how to keep a cool head. countryside is a picture perfect italian landscape with hills topped by mediæval villages city walls
