and explore the fascinating world heritage site, the w world heritage $360.00. now they want to know what makes the agenda love. banning thing away. i'm not going to have my own car. everyone with later holes and every day getting you ready to meet the gym and then join me, rachel, to it on the w. my son alone. next to me. and i was changed when i see her to send me

a little more post. well that's an excerpt from the trailer for a net mad ron for the musical film, my french director leo's car hocks that opened this years can film festival and without a warm welcome to arts and culture. all phone. finally, its lights, camera, and action on the closet in can the 74th festival has kicked off about 2 months later than usual. due to the pandemic bought the red carpet, did not disappoint, and according to predictions, neither will will fill the yes we can. the festival stars are back on the red carpet. 70 both can film festival opened on tuesdays jewelry. president spike lee is pretty in pink. and for the 1st time following all the criticism, the jury has more female members than men. the stage at the opening is jodie foster,

who has come to pick up a lifetime achievement palm door for her work. and so as actress and director, the 1st time she was here in 1976, she was still a child. the see her mom. i'm going to know that it's a great honor for me. it's more than 45 years since my film taxi driver won the door here. i'm very grateful for this special moment today. he's going to solve this is vondell i mentioned earlier. spike lee had set the tone with a full fright statement as the 1st most 1st black jewelry president. this world, one by gangsters. agent orange is a guy in brazil, and that's the gangsters. and they're going to do what i want to do. can 2021. it might get political. spike lee,

not mincing his words there. and joining me now live from the closet in can is our movie man rock scott rock for great to see you, scott that we just heard that this festival could get political and certainly a news plant for can, which has really always prefer to focus on the art of cinema. yeah, that's definitely right. i've been coming here many, many years and can never really present itself as a political festival. they always tried to stay a bit above the fray and say, it was just about the movies and the art of cinema. but i think there's been a lot of real transformative changes in the last few years, particularly political movements like me to or the black lives matter movement, which i've real profound effect on cinema, on the way movies get made. and very importantly, who's making them. and i think those changes made it impossible for can to maintain if it's supposedly politically neutral stance as well. if you're going to name, swipe li, jury president, you know, things are going to get political. i mean,

this is one of the most outspoken political directors of his generation. and of course, having him as the jury president means there will be a political plant for this year. okay, so were prepared for that. now intrigued by this opening film, met just the trailer alone looks like a tool default. can you tell us a bit about it? yes, you mentioned it's from the french director of the stars adam driver and my uncle. and it's a build a bit as a musical, but i think it's more of a walk opera. so if it's less walla land and more, tommy, it is basically the story of adam driver of plays a stand up comedian who falls in love with an offer senior play by my on put he, our driver i think is amazing. it's still, he's, he's, he's, he's like you say toward the 4th he's, he's almost a comedian filled with self loathing. he just pours it on on stage for the 21st century. lenny bruce and visually the film is just stunning. it's

a series of amazing visual set pieces that really deserve an call out to be seen on the big screen. so i think the appropriate that if the opening and i can film of the biggest, don't possible in the world. now the idea for that film comes from a concept album by the band sparks that's a band with an incredible history. how does this all connect? yeah, the back story. that was also fascinating. it started as a concept album by sparks. this are pop due to brothers ron and russel male and they had finished the album and then they happen to be here in can 8 years ago i met leo correct by accident and told them about their project and then they sent them the music and he told them this has to be my next movie. so it's 8 long years of preparation. but finally they did make the movie from the concept album. and the spar sparks and, and that are, can be coast again incredible stuff. well, they're actually also the subject of a brand new documentary that's also just come out this month as well. and let's

have a quick look at that. we are sparks please welcome bar . frequently questions about how many homes that 25 albums you, brother, we are brothers. how did you 1st meet your brothers music at his desk? here you go. oh my god, what is that? one of my favorite moments john lennon bringing up ringo starr. you will believe what's on the elevators, so many things that are, that are coming back to me there. scott, why are the sparks brothers finally having this incredible moment in the sun? yeah it's, it's amazing really because a ross amount have been doing making music for decades, but they started in the late sixty's. they're both now themselves in their seventies, but they never really broke through to more than cult status in their entire career

. and i think it has something to do with the fact that the music was always way ahead of its time. and if you listen to sparks music from the seventy's, it sounds like the new wave music of the 19 eighties and the found they help pioneer in the, in the eighty's became mainstream only the 1990 s. but maybe now the world is starting to catch up to sparks. i mean, they as far as generations of musicians back, morrissey, a bjork, i'll cite them as major inspirations. so maybe finally the world is catching up and realizing what incredible legacy sparks have had in music. and of course there's no better place to celebrate that legacy than here if we can pump that will cause the sparks brothers and adore cinema. they certainly do. now. you mentioned just to me how surreal it is to be back in can just quickly, how important is it for the film industry that the festival has finally been able to pick up? again? it's incredibly important. i mean,

this can, has been seen as really a symbol that cinema can reopen again. i mean, centers of clothes and so many parts of the world of over a year. now it's, i was talking to a critic who said, it's almost like we've been, we've been sleeping. that's going to have been asleep. the cinema industry has been asleep for a year and, and can as it's, it's waking up and saying everyone hopes that this festival will really start a rebirth of cinema and the people start going back to the movies again. thanks very much, scott in chem, and we'll speak again soon or whether it's david chip or fields or norman foster, or daniel leib, is kinda most architects, usually commission model makers to create miniature versions of their grand designs . now these can accurately depict the proportions and the layout and architectural finesse of the project in the making. and with so much attention to detail, the unveiling of the models themselves can be quite an event. so we visited the berlin base company vac phones to learn more about this essential stage.

sterling's former technology center, it's currently being converted into a new residential quarter. 280 high end departments will be built here with penthouse flat, selling for some 3000000 euros. right now with all the construction work, it's difficult to imagine what it will look like. that's where scale models come in . they can help build up an accurate idea of this new neighborhood. ah, my architectural models are the most important way of showing what buildings will look like. i'll stick. we can see that when people come to view the models on the checkout. all the details, pete and the apartments playing little children on line. these models help people get an understanding of real estate projects and individual partners and all that. and so you get an understanding of the layout and dimension. the oil models are much better suited to achieve this than plans or descriptions plan would involve

these bottles, what craft advise that phone for a felony based company. the core team consists of 4 architect to met at university well known studios like kind of polish american architect. daniel leave is kinda the swiss talk, the more you oh, and late iraqi british architect zach hi. deed have worked with them right now, the team is building a model of puerto nika, a large, moving to the gate. and the landmark of the german city of 3 different materials are used for different models, giving them a unique appearance and character. model makers need a range of skills you need good spatial imagination. this is that's essential for developing 3 models for handling data provided by our client in the, from we call and you need to understand what the architect has envisioned. you also

need to be good with your hands are going to be doing. so you need a practical intelligence. and again, this is on these days the motor micros use high tech applications like robotics, computer controlled more toys, machines and free day printers. that's one day, one second, auto making his vocation that requires a lot of technical training for that makes it a very multifaceted and very interesting profession. the time, the high end tools we use these days require us to spend a lot of time planning and producing our projects digitally. the time from only the final piecing together of the element is still done by hand. and sheet. that full, created an interactive exhibit on display at the double 07 elements. james bond museum in 0 in austria, where parts of spect featuring daniel craig was shot in 2015. the museum is

dedicated to action scenes filmed in this part of the alps recreated in animation models and 3 d exhibits created by that phone. what's here we aimed to establish a so called new craft to us. that means bringing our digital crowns to a new level onto this. and there are so many new technologies available today like augmented reality. for robotics as he, bees new possibilities have not been fully explored and exhausted yet. so we want to get more involved and have drawn up research proposals to this end to present what drives us to our off. and their phones has created some 3500 architectural models over the past 25 years. works that give us a glimpse of the future because it is good to have

a bit of normality not to mentioned glamour backs in the mix. we're leaving with some more impressions of the can film festival opening and the promise of more next time around all the best from us. and i'm going to the who's stay in the line and demand me hot gas language course in the video and audio anytime. anywhere that b w media center,

how many loans turn out in the world right now? the climate change, very half the story. this is much less the way form just one week. how much was going to really get we still have time to go. i'm doing some scribe movies like me the news this week on will stories and medical activities some that's rant in hong kong. the essence of beauty, i'm diversity in london, was again in afghanistan where more than a decade, 9 high diary has been helping drug addicts and couple. but the taliban resurgence

is making hope work difficult. the morning hearings and because on and lena high diary is on her way to mother camp. it is one of the few privately run addiction facilities and caboodle. her diary founded another camp on her way. she passes by poly suck to bridge, where many drug addicts live a lima that i'm up with. but other, and we'll talk when i saw the bridge for the 1st time, it was like looking straight into hell. i thought this is what hell looks like. i remember the people were lying on the ground like animals were dying and they could have had promising life become dr. maybe the staff did work at how much it was. another shock installed for her diary. she hadn't seen her brother for a long time and found out that he was living under the bridge. high diary decided

to take action. she wanted to help her brother and many other addicts, and caboodle almost every one in the city of 4 and a half 1000000. know someone whose life has been destroyed by drugs for rehabilitation center is located in western could boil, is dead. her son was once an addict himself for 30 years. he suffered from harry and dependency, but with high diaries help, he managed to kick the habit. now he manages the center in her absence. meet is not an addict. he has been here ever since. her diary found him as a young child in a garbage can on the side of the street, most likely abandoned by his family. to do both patients stay here for about 4 weeks. there is a lack of crossly medicines to withdrawal symptoms. so patients usually have to make do with cold showers. they also have a lot of talks and music sessions. the

high diary also has in mind to turn off to the rehab. she also runs the restaurant, taj, big room. all employees are recovered addicts, the world helps them lead drug free lives and brings new perspectives. mohammed hussain is one of those who manage to turn his life around stuff. this is a special place for a dentist on it, and so we can feel pretty safe here. i'm very happy to work in this place because here in the restaurant, it's just different. almost like a family that was thrown on a new saying on that on a different some take a 10 to the venue. the restaurant received threats from extremists also because it is run by women. hi diary has managed to build what you set out to build, but the situation in afghanistan is unstable. the withdrawal of international

troops is underway and should be complete within the next few weeks. so bad, been a hustle i was up and got on. i'm pretty pessimistic about just gone to some future muslim. the total insane. the key key as my the only one candidate wants the future of the taliban that are that are radical muslims. and that hearing no, not scanner women was and they is the moment lane and the future is uncertain. but at least for now layla hi diary knows what she is going to do. so part those with a drug addiction and couple for as long as possible. the, the one year ago, china past that controversial law, making it easier for the mainland government to arrest and charge pro democracy activists. now, very few activists have the courage to protest in public riding

his politics and his love of hong kong into his skin. still be with one yet chin even in the darkest days. so the whole whole, i hope they remind me of the beliefs i started with, even if i'm jailed in the future. one started the group student politicize from last may just after hong kong or is heard about the national security law all at 20 . he's one of the oldest in the group. there is young as 15, there's some of the few still visible on the streets. many other groups are gone. sorry, it's not all that. well, i decided not to go to college last year, which i wanted to dedicate myself to activism while i was still free on her though, because you know, many political influences seldom speak in public. they could be coughed under the national security law with all else, especially with it being so uncertain gallia. how we feel like we have to step out,

especially when prominent figures are either in jail or in exile. deli, all that i ball why one has been arrested 4 times in the last year, twice just this month. march is our band under pandemic rules. he and his group hand out leaflets instead, but it's enough to get him into trouble. the pressure is intense. he knows national security officers are watching him. he doesn't go to sleep until 7 am. so he's awake at dawn. that's when police arrest people at home. he's part of what beijing says is an extremely small minority that the national security law targets to preserve stability. one thing has the extra stability brought by the national security law. it's just an illusion and is built on people's fear. there's no room for further treat hot water, even the terms freedom and democracy become to be one day. i will compromise on my

speech or that if you will, he and his group support those already in jail. they take supplies to protesters behind bars, on where your handle, hong kong future is more important in my one future. when the political prisoners are released in years or decades to come, i don't want them to return to worst hong kong hong kong without home college all. and we don't have many see we are the kids chosen by the time. but i think it's we who have chosen this era, sally said all the symbols on his skin state, his certainty, the tattoos are messages of defiance to his future self the full decades for me each germany secret service spied on it citizen. the information was stored on filed,

many people only found out later how extensively they will be in one. i didn't do much longer. i read the door of their old building and he fell in. they lived here when they were young and liked it was anything but private group ended in on the display stones, the infamous spite on them from across the courtyard bank. when this tree was much smaller. how did you see stones people standing? magical no. i just found that when i read about it, we would never thought about it. the thought of them standing there. now another restaurant. the files contained hundreds of pages intercepted letters and informers reports, including viva,

and offers apartment layout game and had my someone looked into my life and i have no idea. they described me as a person from that perspective which wasn't a very friendly ones. i was on the last saw it sad, but i live with that culture. but why with a to women spite on and then they came from the provinces to east berlin and found good jobs here working for the east german state newspaper, northeast georgia, and new germany. they made a fateful move. you're trying to leave the country from 1976 onwards circuit, awful and intimate zebra applied again and again to leave. always giving the same reason is twila and gloves. i do not believe trustworthiness, a discount. i have seen 1st hand how little human rights are respected in east germany, that in these days, they tell people born after the war came down,

how they risked life and limb to leave germany at all. i didn't want someone else to decide where i lived here, leave me. i had a certain point i had enough and then i thought, well, no, i want, i want to spend most spend. if i had after that design, they almost ended up in prison. the how do we define beauty? that is the question being asked by photographer christina barack sina. she explores beyond classic ideals. we visit for studio in london. the people with disabilities with different skin colors, sexual orientations, and cultural backgrounds. diversity in front of the camera, staged by

a photo or me, a photo shoot in london with an indecent mate temple. angel in deal. both born without binding them. fans with milly ellis brown. a person who identifies as neither male nor female. they are oem users of russian photographer, christina vaccine. okay. very good sense of beauty is the name of this photo project. seen as aim as to highlight people who are often under represented. and she wants to establish a concept of beauty that goes beyond the current standards with close to so many invoices are suppressed and to be given. sorry, things really powering the models that i have today. shandy, very important to me is that in

a strength that they've been able to understand themselves and find their place in the world and believe in themselves, and love themselves accept their own money. their own uniqueness. the rock has earned international a claim for her photographs which are exhibited in galleries from new york to moscow. before moving to london and 2019, she worked in the us for 10 years, photographing people like artist, marcia, th, of the massive discussion about females and classes being a woman and we've changed 2021. it's time for change and roxanne wants to support that change with her photographic works and a little more with the news
