artist who creates optical illusions and then appears in them as well. bots we start with a movie that's been talked about a lot at the moment never rarely sometimes always is about the difficult subject of teenage pregnancy and abortion in america where such rights or lack of them are very different from state to state fatsis 1st let's have a look at the movie and some great acting from the 2 newcomers who really carry the film. that looks like a positive. because paul luke is there any way if you. know the positive it's always. this the most magical solution whatever if you're. a young girl and

a very big problem comes close to him is pregnant and doesn't want to be i think you see trauma how she ended up in this situation is unclear for much of the film. but she's certain she doesn't want to have the baby and the pregnancy becomes a huge psychological burden for her to focus to stay tonight but it's already too late for her to have an abortion in her home state of pennsylvania. so along with her cousin she travels to new york city without telling her parents. the film directed by allies the hitmen gives a glimpse into the harsh reality facing young women in the united states who want to end pregnancy. tests hired intention unsparing it shows us just how lost and desperate the gunnels on but it also celebrates the selfless solidarity that exists between them. can ask you some question. they can be really

a hitman and she met one of those girls sidney flanagan at another edition and that was already back in 2012 and she never forgot she keep in touch with her over the years because of a incredible presence and so she invited her to addition to this movie and this was a very unconventional addition the girls had to act in strange locations like in a bathroom or in the subway and likes to do that in the real world so she says that to capture the feeling of what it would like during production so she lets her actors communicate less with words and more with expressions and i think you know all that obviously well from what i've seen in the last year or so unwanted pregnancies a woman's right to decide it's been a big topic in the united states laws have been changing that what's actually the position right now well we still have the situation in every state there are
11:49 am
different laws and but in the last years conservative forces down to boost they got tailwind from the trump presidency there are no many states with stricter rules want to ban all most abortions and what we're already seeing today is this kind of abortion tourism and this is exactly what the girls are doing in the film so is it so much material for discussions in this film blockbusters as we know being. the fast and furious latest ones just being the spawn of this independent film is coming out it's coming out selected cinemas in the states look out for it i beg people to look out specially young people to look out for it micah thank you very much as always thank you. now you are lynskey has been causing quite a stir in the world of brock in recent times his astonishing count to 10

the title role in total male at the international handel festival in consequence. at the showmance and him rave reviews and gave him an opportunity to demonstrate his exceptional range of expression. my role is very dramatic and i love it because the thing is that like i am in love and i lost my beloved i lost the throne so i really want to commit suicide from the very beginning of the opera and then i have to just find different shades different colors to show sadness emptiness like a longing lacking frustration anger and there is so many differ. and sort of let's say dark emotions that you you have to put in your t.v. in your arias and and it's really a challenge. because. critics
11:52 am
love his striking physical beauty but in fact he took a while to find his voice today or linsky is fully comfortable and i counted 10. this is what i want to do because i tried as a bass baritone because that's my natural voice i just don't feel in the same way i cannot i cannot expose and show and make people feel the same way as a and like control what i what i want to do with with my natural voice. he said he loves baroque music because it requires a performance he learn everything including color a tour he admits he loves a bit of history and. we used to say opera world operas and basically all the operas are a little bit like brazilian soap opera it's so dramatic bar a bar and then suddenly there is like whoa everybody loves each other it's great

let's high 5. yeah i could use that on in school currently one of the most vibrant performers on the international classical music scene and one with pop star appeal. extraordinary voice many street artists want to remain anonymous and are reluctant to show their face in front of the camera but french artist scaff is quite the opposite not only does he strayed larger than life graffiti creating optical illusions he then becomes part of his art work himself at least for a brief moment and here is how he does it. what's real and what's painted on the wall scott squiffy to be art is more. just 2 dimensional images their settings for the artist's own fantasies his self portraits add to the whimsical and the missing works. and

creates each image in advance on his computer his technique is called anamorphic art the works can only be properly viewed from certain angles in the room. so if you look at the painting from other angles it's all disproportionate but if you stand on the spot the artist intended everything falls into place everything that should be parallel is parallel but only from a very specific point. the artist uploads his photos to instagram his account there is an archive of his works they often only last a few weeks because the walls he paints are damp comic and fantasy figures and wild creatures are his subjects. keeps the precise location of his prayer
