brings new life into historical buildings turning them into top class. bots we begin with the ongoing battle between hollywood and streaming services netflix amazon and the others have now infiltrated the oscars the golden globes or the like i think you have a more nominations for the big budget movies they've been making of course keeping people sofas rather than going out to the cinema. is there room for everyone in this major part of the entertainment business. marriage story a great family drama. and the irishman martin scorsese's 3 hour gangster epic starring robert de niro both films were hard to find in munich's movie theaters after their release nearly all the city's cinema operators refused to show them part of an ongoing battle in the film business.

and that's netflix has no respect for cinemas as places we don't take part in clicks releases because i don't want to be exploited by an internet company for internet content. christiane fire has run art house cinema as in munich for years he also lobbies on behalf of more than $300.00 cinema operators and they are angry they say netflix is breaking the golden rule that films are made 1st and foremost for the cinema and are shown exclusively on movie screens for at least 4 months after release and only then are they shown on t.v. or streaming services netflix puts its productions on line 2 weeks after they're in theaters and many theater operators see that as an existential threat. but not all of them are taking part in the boycott a few munich cinemas are screening netflix productions like the irishman although it had been available on netflix for 2 months. by the time of this greening many

moviegoers deliberately chose to see it on the big screen. it's the same at the cinema run by. while his colleagues say they won't show netflix productions out of a love of cinema he shows them because he loves cinema. the government for fun from the beginning i intended to run the cinema the way i wanted to and to show films that i want to see on the big screen and that my audience wants to see i have lovely big screens in my theatres and then there's a film like the irishman which has images that work well and leave a strong impression when shown on a big screen i think it would be absurd not to show it in a movie theater. yet for me for the top sort. mathias have fixed newest cinema was recently chosen as the best in bavaria he says cinemas will survive not because it's the only way to see these but because it's the best way to see that.

my colleague mark kruger joins me now we've seen the opinion differing opinions from 2 cinema owners but what about what about the people who make the movies where they're making movies for hollywood all the streaming services want to very think well i think they just think well great because that means more contracts new possibilities of course the streaming services make quick decisions they are willing to take risks and of course the filmmaker is left of course especially in germany there are very rigid structures and if a director wants to make a movie for example for a very young audience there are a few rules and more possibilities and well even harder with the people are just following the money this is a good show even marty scorsese for example the only way to realise that i was from and what the corporation for that flakes hollywood wouldn't give him the money so he did he made the deal and on the other hand. it was very important for this film

shown in the cinemas because he said please please please don't look at it please because this is something the filmmakers also have to deal with and these streaming services seem to have sort of you know huge budgets they seem to be unstoppable and they are aggressively looking at new markets as well they phone one of course in india they trying to reach new consumers there in that country and there in india we see those pictures of people watching movies. on their phones which is so afraid of. markets with this 1400000000 population and countless film fans but there's also this great competition there already dozens of subscription subscription streaming services and netflix and amazon are offering more for less money than in the west so it should be very a very golden age for entertainment in india and it's the fastest growing market

right now briefly don't want to mention it but i guess the coronavirus isn't helping cinemas right now the virus is making a very hard time for the cinema people are just staying at home watching that flicks and not going into the cinemas because of the feel of affection. and even the james bond movies. very disappointed not very time to die so no time for james bones lots of problem with cultural events generally. micah thanks very much. moving on to an exhibition called beyond the blackout looks at how the movement of people back and forth across the atlantic in particular joining the time of the slave trade in the 19th centuries has influenced arts and culture down the years in this case how it has shaped the work of the 4 contemporary artists exhibiting in the german city of hanover. this installation bathed in green lights

is called nocturnal kinship and his by artist sundra. i could start with talking about this variation for it was based on research for 60 elephants in kenya it's elephants that they were following within the span of 3 years becoming like animals as a way to avoid poachers so as you can see with the. sculpture there's you don't see their faces using hoodies and that is a way transferring this survives or the threat that he is from this elephant to possibly way of thinking of the human body. it's one of the works in the exhibition beyond the black atlantic at the concert for ryan hanover the show's title derives from an academic theory about the diversity of black culture and its exchange of

ideas and influences across eras and national borders the concept centers on the peoples who were subjected to the atlantic slave trade to trying to generational trauma that continues to influence artists to this day all of the works in the exhibition deal with racism in some way whether directly or indirectly the artists themselves are wary of being labeled as making black arts but at the same time identity is a topic that keeps a rising for instance in the pictures of a lawless self from new york. striking clarges arresting and challenging. came up body is my main subject i think partially mostly because it's the body of which i have it so it's been it's been a way for me to speak very very sincerely about and i don't i mean. i also used to

be i'm not partying on and off but the racialized me in my body to kind of speak about larger humanistic qataris are accidental concerns. the object of our looks back at us with self assurance. but the idea behind having the vicar comprised of many parts is really meant to remember how once i did any functions in reality so i magine that the 1st person is kind of cumulation of various experiences very various moments and together all of those. different parts of themselves collapse into one body or even imagine the body as being a container vessel or a host of different experiences. the side of the science. the concept of an ambiguousness of fixed identities is an illusion in the last room there's another by saundra. it's shimmering and beautiful that stands for itself but at the same time challenges for us to reflect on their own way of

looking at things. i'm now a french interior designer an architect who specializes in converting historical buildings that were originally used for something else into hotels joe phillipe comes from a family of architects who are passionate about modern architecture and contemporary design after winning a prestigious architecture prize and wells 1st solar commission was to repurpose a paris hotel and he's never looked back since. the grand hotel in the. don't feel it nowhere that has transformed into 18th century hospital building into a martin hotel. the former hospital with its imposing dome is a unesco world heritage site the conversion had to be done with extreme care

contrasts playoff when no other the past and present can light the lamps we call old fashioned says bonnets and fish no dion silk is juxtaposed with contemporary motifs and old medical books. who are looking for a hospital bill it's. actually fairly deluxe and throughout the building you see a kind of contrast between rich and poor people. don't feel that new era has his office in a town meeting paris he specialized in redesigning hotels for over 30 years. when i design a hotel i imagine that i'm planning the 1st shots of a movie sometimes you're drawn into a film by the very 1st seems by the editing the music it's the same with the hotel that i tried to introduce the guests to this atmosphere and they take on

a role in the film so to speak about continue after all these 12 if you can. one of his best known projects is the otero morley tour. in western paris it was originally built as a swimming pool complex in 1029 in the style after it closed down in the 1980 s. its walls become a canvas for graffiti artists. remodelling it. incorporated the buildings colorful history into his concept. as with all my projects is ended up a blend of the various styles from different eras here deco merges with street art and it's quite interesting what surprises that creates. also designed the interior of the paris a 5 star hotel just sunk. in the 1930 s. it was a telecommunications building now it's a luxury boutique hotel. back in the latest job is done
