8:17 am
collective. me. on the online industry portion of the 71st bell in iowa has come to an end after 4 intense days of screenings of jury made up of 6 former golden bear winners has spoken and the golden bear for 2021 goes to romanian director rather jude's film entitled bad luck banging or loony porn and the title is your biggest hint as to why we can't show you much of it. this woman is a role model she's a teacher even she has a right to privacy but these days private lives all too often end up on social media. in this case a totally private video has gone viral it shows the teacher having sex it's no one's business but everyone has an opinion should she be allowed to stay in her
8:18 am
profession and continue to teach children. the teacher is now suddenly in the public eye. 2 to 3 to me. to reverse your bad. but it's obvious. that. the film is about chauvinism conspiracy theories and hypocrisy and post communist romania told as a biting satire for the jury of this. it was a stroke of genius. and scott rockstro joins me once again from bond to talk about the film that none of us had bet on hi scott bad luck banging or loony important wins the golden bear what's your take on this decision. well i mean they did pick the film with the best title i have to say that i definitely agree with that. i mean this wasn't my favorite i'll be perfectly honest it's a social satire. the images that we just saw don't really do it justice because
8:19 am
there's a lot of very hardcore imagery also in this film definitely not for everybody it's it's it is a nice interesting look at political hypocrisy and it's quite extreme but i finally found humor quite scattershot but what is interesting about this film is how it was made i mean this movie was shot entirely under lockdown in romania and all the members of the production including the actors were all wearing masks the whole time so maybe that's why the jury picked it because it definitely is of its time it looks like no other film before and probably since will look like it looks like a corona era film the big question is whether anybody will want to watch this movie and in a couple of years time is very interesting with this jury because it was a very different venue knowledge area this year you could tell they were really focusing on craft. yeah definitely definitely and i think it's significant that 3 of the members of this jury are from central eastern europe and this is a. european film from
8:20 am
a rainy on the style of humor and the way it looks at particularly sexual hypocrisy in eastern europe i think is quite significant that probably appealed to a number of the members of the jury that could be one reason why they picked that i didn't pick my choice you know i know they didn't and i don't want them would have been my choice either but where were who were perhaps the other know were the winners in your opinion. yeah i agree with some of the choices made by the jury they had their 1st gender neutral acting prize the silver bear for best performance and it went to the german actress. she was the star of this screwball comedy with a side by concept called i'm your man she plays in it she plays a german scientist who's a single and wary of relationships and she's assigned an android who's supposed to satisfy her every need to play by dan stevens of down abbey fame things oh course don't go as planned and they do end up in couples therapy very funny movie a nice twist on sort of interesting concept and it was one of my favorites of the
8:21 am
festival and another one i'd have to mention is a documentary called have bachman and his classroom which won a special jury prize this is a look at a small village classroom in germany elementary school where the majority of students are migrants or from immigrant backgrounds it's a real fly on the wall documentary but i think really really touching very very emotional and wonderful look at these kids who we often talk about in germany but we almost never get to hear what they have to say yeah very interesting viewpoints and i'm looking forward to those films that's got everything very unusual barely not as it took place mostly. online tell us a little bit about the overall experience and did it do the festival just death. yeah it was very strange this is the 1st time i've been doing this 20 years that 1st time i've ever had an on line badly nala the films were quite good actually so that's definitely a plus and the experience wasn't too unpleasant but watching movies on your couch
8:22 am
for a week isn't really the same experience berlin is the world's largest public film festival and audience experience hopefully will have a little bit of that in the summer because the winners. this year will be presented again at an open public festival coronal willing in june yeah well let's certainly hope that that will be allowed to happen the audience focused portion of this 2 part barely not on the belly not a 71 the suspense is over for now and now we just need to see all of those great films thanks very much for all of your analyses this week scott ross perot in bon. all the statistics are sobering joining the coronavirus pandemic of violence against women has soared in latin america where rates of domestic abuse and femicide have gone through the roof since lockdowns 1st began about a year ago international women's day is our cue to raise awareness of this fact and in our series on artist activists like colleagues sophia barton bag has this report from santiago de chile. this is
8:23 am
a bad news correspondent into i'm going to present to a group of women that dances masts in the streets of santiago to raise awareness of gender violence and the power of women to fight for their rights to meet the dance collective. reversing for the big performance the dance collective. prepares its choreography for international women's day more than 50 women have come together dominique is one of them. not my for me the collective and dancing in the collective is liberation enjoyment pleasure friendship it's a space where i feel more protected and where i can be more myself in my view was a. means dance masked one dance the red balaclavas offer a little protection from police tear gas but they also provide anonymity the masks have become their trademark.
8:24 am
is one of 4 women who co-founded the collective in november 29 teams during protests against social inequality and sheelagh. if i say anything more than hiding our identities we want to protect them because there's been a lot of political persecution for a long time even before the uprising. we want to form a collective with a common face at a. protest i'm not moon i but part of the collective. this is the 1st time since the start of the coronavirus pandemic that the women have met to rehearse. and wear a feminist stance collective and our motivation is to make art less elitist to take downs on to the streets and to understand that our bodies are our 1st territory of
8:25 am
struggle we dance not for others before ourselves our choreography is are always based on urban dances such as dancehall trekking and hip hop and almost as. an international women's day last year some 300 women in the collective danced in the streets of sometime ago wearing red masks some 2000000 people protested across the whole country social injustice in chile led to a revolt in october 29th teen against the country's neo liberal economic and social model from the beginning that protest movement was a feminist one. the walls in santiago bear witness to this protest and to the struggle against the patriarchy and the culture of machismo the women of. want to use their dance performances to draw attention to violence against women have been there for me to me that's up. from the moment i leave my house i'm exposed to street harassment we are exposed to obstetric violence violence against women is
8:26 am
present in all forms everywhere at home at work in the health care system within families. we live with a myriad of violence i want to believe it will be eradicated but it's a long process because we're in a paradigm shift. as a result of this collective is about far more than dance the women support each other and give one another strength they say protesting and dancing together has changed but. i'm up and down the if if. we need more we're learning about feminism we're learning to love ourselves and not be competitive with each other but to really find a nucleus where we can express ourselves and be ourselves with each other. dancing with the collective has helped her learn self accept it's.
8:27 am
not feel that for me in particular it change the way i show myself to the world to those close to me and to myself that many will read masks to draw attention to inequality and uncover one's true self the group will perform this new choreography on march 8th in the heart of the chilean capital. and more power to them well finally art lovers sense of risk and adventure will be put to the test at a very unusual exhibition in the northwestern russian region of where complete immersion into the chilly northern arc is literally a must because it's located under the ice of the white sea so see for yourself if you'd be willing to go this far. what suits and tolerance for low temperatures are indispensable for visitors wanting to witness this special exhibition held underwater. circle of the pictures are
8:28 am
cool i saw them before but under the sea they look different the effect this very interesting with the torchlight they started to shine and look 3 dimensional. for the. photographer victor in the displaying photographs of white sea flora and fauna to raise awareness for wildlife or risk to climate change the artworks will remain underwater until mid april when the ice starts to melt rendering visits to the exhibition site impossible. ok there is the gleam of 3 years it's well known that the climate is changing it's a fact although it is minus 30 here today the white sea is the southernmost of all arctic sea ice it changes very fast it may happen that those creatures whose life is frozen into the ice will become extinct in the white sea in the near future.
8:29 am
also on display in the underwater exhibition or sculptures by artist denise slaughter it really shaped objects are inspired by marine creatures living under the ice of the white sea reinterpreted to fit the artist's unique vision. some cool art to say the least of which i do stay warm over the weekend and until we meet again all the best from us here in berlin just went off you didn't. dream in your next major. talk to the fraternity. sunshine in melbourne a. road trip of. an
