oh, yes, it is pulling those 1st girls to cordova. no, it shouldn't have an idea now too soon with the name of shipping window below in supposing what saving was him? i never dw books on you ah. all aboard the glacier express in switzerland. my colleague, hannah hold takes an exciting journey through this scenic swiss alps. we'll find out more about her trip later in the show. i want to welcome to another edition of your o max with me your host. megan lee. here's

a look at what else we've got coming up. deliciously deceptive crocheted art from the u. k. what is the appetite for more? and how a blind italian chef still continues to poke in his successful rest. cinemas in berlin are rolling out the red carpets again as the berlin film festival. the ballina gets underway despite ongoing corona, virus restrictions, 18 films are in the running for the golden and silver bare awards. and even though digital technology leads the way in promoting the movies, some production companies still advertise with old fashion hand painted cinema posters. austrian artist goods valise is one of the few cinema poster painters. keeping up this unique tradition here in berlin, whether a psi or tragic comedy giant movie posters can be seen all over berlin and not just

during its international film festival. goods valley and helps films make a big splash. the movie poster painter is one of the last of his kind. he refer, i love film and it's one of the most important things cohen it's, aren't really want to shit. i don't differentiate between art and film, ionic or me. it's a great art form. you could call it pop art or popular culture. we'd be lost without movies. some of involve smith at his berlin studio. he's making a poster for the cities, film festival, the bad, the knowledge. first, he sketches the outline or the 5th of his art. i don't use projections much just enough to give me some orientation on this huge canvas afterward line one because up close things look different than they do from far away. those people knew the hardest part is getting the proportions right. because the canvas is 5 meters high

and 9 meters wide. that's $45.00 times the size of a standard movie poster. goods melvin uses a spray gun for the larger surfaces. he goes through 20 leaders of paint per poster . 5 i leg, you're out how to do it. while i work, there is no plan. everything is improvised. every picture is different and poses different challenges for in terms of color on structure. so i just try to get it right as quickly as possible. normally it takes goods valjean, 2 days to complete a commission. his hand painted film posters, costs 800 euros apiece. he said, great story in his precise technique using a paintbrush to bring out the details as if the machine was out of it's a mixture of everything that had sun. you must be extremely bit while and flexible like a ballet dancer able to jump around. so i think everybody, you have to be able to it all at the same time one and also know how to paint it was and on,

even if it sounds like i'm exaggerating that you need courier read that because when you stand there in the morning facing a 9 meter long white canvas that needs to be finished by the evening. you have to be able to just office. we'll jump right in and we'll start, i'm spring uncommon. goods, valley and study painting in vienna before moving to berlin. he made his 1st movie poster in 1992 and has painted over 2000 more since then. his artworks are almost hyper realistic. the ownership freshman book and other came out after 30 years of experience. i said, john, i can say the difference between a print and a painted poster. what is that you abstract? alice off? whoa captures absolutely everything. every little structure as to whether you wanted to or not reminded of whereas i accentuate the things i feel need to be stress is it's a form of reducing things to their essence of surveys,

english other all that's missing now is the writing. then the giant bell, and now the poster will be done by lean, is assisted by rosita cordova. they've worked together for 30 years and only parted company when a film proved too successful. prevent benefit that i own runs for 3 or 4 months in all the cinema i fuel and we simply have nothing to do for that long while titanic was the worst of all. no one saw it coming, the film came out of nowhere. suddenly we were unemployed, were 3 months of its loss. but it's not just block clusters that make life difficult. if you are movie theaters can afford to commission hand painted movie posters. so valiant craft is threatened with extinction. but that just makes him even more determined to carry on that. so to get as much rangers been under stress and i ever since prince started being may 1 on force,

but my aim is to be better than a print gun that might sound arrogant. that's what it's really true. it's opposite . what i learned is, i'm generally better than a poster because i'm better at getting the point across colma it's more personal hazardous yet i'm just as quick as we can. those are that i can make them just as big ones can also goals. that goods val lean, isn't sentimental about his past movie posters. once the film they promote has left the cinemas, he simply paints over them. one of the best ways to see europe is by train and if you want a really memorable ride than a trip to the swiss alps on the glacier express should be on your bucket list. well, the trains cars have glass tops giving travelers incredible views of the mount landscapes, while the journey from saint morris to sir mot in switzerland takes about 8 hours, which makes it the slowest express train in the world. duramax report or hon. a homo hopped on board for the latest installment of europe by train.

ah, snow dusted mountains and glistening glaciers, rocky gorges and stunning ski slopes. this is train travel at its peak. hi there, i am hannah, whom well and today i'm traveling on the glacier express. the twisting track travels through some of switzerland's most scenic landscape, which is why it's often described as one of the most breathtaking journeys in the world. i'm starting my journey in st. morris and winter sports resort. beloved by the jet set. it's airily, the sun is just rising and it's minus 10 degrees celsius, but hopefully it will be worth it for the gorgeous winter views. i've been promised our 8 hour long trip through the swiss alps begins and sent more. it's continues through core and matt and break and ends in their mat. the route connects to ski

resort towns often viewed as the winter playgrounds of the rich and famous big glacier express cars itself, the world's slowest fast rate, averaging just 38 kilometers an hour. it passes through $91.00 tunnels and crosses at $291.00 bridges, including the land, faster viaduct, a unesco world heritage site. the train is making a somewhat longer stop to switch engines. so i'm going to see if i can have a quick chat with the train driver. tallow when that hello. can you tell me a bit about what it's like? it's actually drive a train like this line is else. no, it's quite challenging. you need to have good concentration and an overview of the

root all as well as know the mountains and where the dangerous parts are. and so i thought i hurry back onto the train just in time for lunch. the glacier express prepares all of its food on board in this tiny kitchen. it offers a 3 course meal of traditional swiss cuisine that goes perfectly with the surrounding scenery. a verena gala has worked on board since 2018. the guest is in the gas r international comment. there are new guns and every day which makes the job interesting. it we get to exchange stories which makes the day so enriching the muffins. how could i for one, then she serves me a traditional schnapps, the food, the more just for digestion. of course, a good to go in the glacier express wasn't always

a luxury tourist attraction. it started running in 1930 as a way for locals to get around. but only in the summer months, the vast amount of snow and ice made it too difficult to operate in the winter time in the early 19 eighties, miss west began to recognise the trains tourism potential. the railway line was overhauled so it could run it year round, the glacier express became one of the world's most successful and well known tourist trains. several hours into the journey. we reached the highest point on the line that over out pass at an elevation of 2033 meters. no wonder this is also a popular ski area. this is definitely the most amazing view

so far. like being if i had a snow globe. so if so got a few more hours to go. i think i'm gonna try and explore the train and see if there's anything else to see. so i'm sitting in 1st class for there's even an extra class. excellent class. let's go take a look, arrive tickets for these seats. kostin. i watering 650 euros. so unsurprisingly, there are only a few people in this carriage. i order and a crony at the bar made with regional swift jim 300 kilometers later, the train reaches its destination. after 8 hours, we finally arrived in 7 months. it was like a winter wonderland. gorgeous scenery, but now it's really time to stretch my legs. i even catch a glimpse of the famous matter horn just as the sunsets over this beautiful village

breakfast is said to be the most important meal of the day, and it's also served as inspiration to one artist in the u. k. you mang lew liked to crochet and embroider, but she took it to another level by turning her english breakfast into 3 d. art. embroidered edibles is her latest project and we met up with her in london to hear more about it. o anguish breakfast with bacon, eggs and beans. pour. how about some popcorn or broccoli? tasty. though. the look. these foodstuffs are best, not eaten. british artist, the you mang lu, created them with a needle and thread. i think of a food has their own character. for example, like him, my baby brocly i made,

i want to let people feel relaxing and it felt really peaceful. and for example, like my fide ag, it's really energized say, can warn, so i wanna transfer all of their fillings to my audiences. so the idea of food inspired embroidery came to her over breakfast and 2020, and the series embroidered edibles was born. she posts the finished works on instagram, for our goal is to create $301.00 pieces and total. it's actually really good kiva . a 30 one a is a computer language is of it's like something like read direction. so at that time as a new direction. mm. you mang, lew, who's originally from the chinese region. you know, i studied at the london school of bashing to day. she lives in bristol, england. she takes her inspiration from the culture and landscapes of both countries. i went to an dolly, it's

a by minority re jane china. so i went to a park and i met the locos, who was doing the amazing punch nato embroidery, bye bye, just straight away, i being attracted by their work and fraud by this handiwork. you mang lube began to teach herself the punch needle technique. unlike normal embroidery, it involves working with loops. i just developed a night weight vents it into my own light techniques, basically push lengthwise into the base for break. and now i will get a lot of loose in the flood. and then i just to train men as scalper to that of fine know look that what at one the artist is fascinated by the burst textures and by the unique nature of a variety of fruit and vegetables in particular. they have oh, different like touch you texture. so someone really smooth osama has this kind of

really thumb different my kid. so face, i feel like they are, they want me to use my need us to do that. do to tell the different stories about them depending on the size and the effort required. the artist can work up to several months on an object. she uses silk or cotton thread for all her projects. smaller works have about 10000 loops, while larger ones have more than 100000. i designed it, my own best po, punch, nieto gets you the, the mog here was really big and it like this wise, really delica. so you can quit and more in details. occasionally, you mang lou also accepts commissions and she can imagine working with fashion houses and other companies in the future. but her heart belongs to this main project. now i'm thinking that these poach as more like

a lives high project, so i will keep making mole odds, which i keep all of them. cuz i really hope that one day i can exhibit them all of them into in that kind of way. optical illusions which wet the appetite for more in this context, playing with your food is quite all right. when something so easy to do, how often have you said, ah, i can do that with my eyes closed or i've cooked that there's so many times i can do it blindfolded while for one chef in italy doing things without sight is his reality because he is in fact, blind instead, antonio child to law employs all of his other senses to rain over his kitchen. and the results are not only tasty, but they're very inspiring. ah,

antonio chalk, the law can smell every single ingredient. although he cannot see, he can create the most demanding dishes. for me, it's not a problem that i can't see because you can also see what their hand is equally money. every morning the italian chef bakes his sour dough bread with sausage or cheese filling on board dilemma and shoe line. never actually think about the fact that i can't see that i completely blind rather good on benzo my. i feel like a normal person a from be said to have a shorter. maybe it's because i so much enjoy preparing these great dishes, higher cor, suspended it. but it, but it's, it is cuisine traditional italian with a dash of fantasy in the village of bell. the dead aon didn't say near the adrian coast, you will find his restaurant. lots. have edna dahlia to keep on the menu such dishes

as minute for yet with pet got enough milky with truffles or a spare. guess. quiche with bacon. he hears if the onions for the spaghetti, carbon odda, give to hot and smells. when the pasta water boils. you won't go, i feel with the bork, that the bacon is getting harder now. sticking a bit to the pan and slowly getting crisp. what i can smell and hear it, water it, when it doesn't mean i'm better than other cooks again, it is just more concentrated on because i'm not distracted auto and rely completely on smell touches. and hearing the thought, a thought as a young man, antonio chuck the law, was already working as a cook in his birthplace, near naples, along with his wife. he opened his own restaurant in bed, etta austin se in 2001 on new year's eve, 2005. he was hit by a firework in front of his restaurant. lost his eye sight. ah,

he refused to retrain. returning to his kitchen to test out if he could still manage there as a blind man. she'll be dog least dog if i noticed immediately that i could still handle the night then will me a night. as my frantic will rejoice in the beginning, i often cut myself a violet. not any more gay and realizing that my hands could still handle the knife pretty well. gave me courage of a broken away. i learned quickly to belay and chop again, your main doorknob, and that's when i said to myself, if i can cut blind, then i can do other things to the doors. and he wrote a book about his story. it boiled in by the law, which means the darkness in the pan. when shopping, his keen sense of smell and touch helps him to assess the quality and freshness of the ingredients and make the best choices was like a leash in the kitchen. almost everything remains as he last saw it before the

accident. in the beginning, a cook would assist him. but in the meantime, antonio chuck the law, does almost everything on his own. again, his wife manolo mariani helps with some tasks. her husband, sudden blindness was a great shock to her in wonder for a world class. today, i didn't know where to start again. how to go on. everything had changed drastically. all just thought was among the mean though, when with time you find a way you have to keep going got the, the me that a full, still with their children were born after the accident. antonio has never seen his sons. he doesn't only run a restaurant, he enters competitions, does cooking shows on tv and teaches budding chefs. ah, the 60 seats in his restaurant are almost always book down

a restaurant whose reputation reaches far beyond the small italian town. got sort of the buddhist very good. it none of us would have guessed that the ship was blinded, gleaming compliments, it tasted great ring. the special keys here always surprise me. there is always something new on the menu with occasionally antonio chopped. the law greets his guests personally. but mostly he doesn't have time to spare from the cooking before his accident, his ambition was to earn a michelin star. and despite his blindness, he still hopes to achieve this one day. and finally, we turn our attention to a polish artist who likes to play with dolls, but not in a pretty. in pink world. monica must tow vic shoots, morbid ghost like portraits of her subjects to revoke evoke

a range of emotions while her photos have an eerie and sound quality about them. but they also fascinate. as we found out when we visited her in krakow lou these dolls are not toys. they're so realistic. it's almost creepy. especially when polish artist monica ma, stoddick, sets them up for a photo shoot. they capture something, a theory, or you could almost expect them to come alive. i may be j. d doors collector and photographer those photographer. so b, j. d, those are my passion. actually. i spend the like, already like more than 10 years of my life were photographing. b, j. d, or ball jointed dolls come from asia. they can be arranged in all kinds of poses

thanks to their ball and socket joints. monica owns over 25 of them. she gets a russian artist to paint their faces and body parts, according to her exact requests. a new character is created for each photo. so you can exchange to, i saw so i, she can look, you know, aside oh, in front. so you can change the color of voice size of ours and song. so again, it would be like a different face and then different in different character. the dolls are often dressed in taylor made clubs. this dress, for example, was sewn by an artist friend. there are different sizes of those. so sometimes you'd say, you know, hard to find the right dress because sometimes the dress is too big or too small.

the leather boots are color coordinated with the dress. monica wears gloves, so as not to smudge the dolls delicate makeup. she wants her photographs of the dolls to stimulate, of viewers. fantasy ah, is dozed, you know, are so inspiring for me because they are not smiling at city. they are pretty a serious or even said old crying. yes. so it is some possible to canada, a more serious stories, not about toys, but actually about 2 people. yeah. about to humans emotions. ah, she showcases her artworks on instagram and at exhibitions, like here in her hometown of krakow, monica often stages her photo shoots in derelict buildings or abandoned sites

that i have the shift key unless she is a dolls evoke an uneasy feeling in me. but what i would call it fear, exactly. otherwise i wouldn't be here sometime you, most of god of it, those of budget many of the photographs feature groups of dolls resembling families or siblings monica, my stove expos combine, a fairy tale look with a morbid atmosphere. there hauntingly airy and they certainly fascinate and way that we come to the end of another shout. be sure to check out our website for a chance at receiving this, a handy dandy d. w backpack, and also follow us on social media. as always, thanks for turning in with the, against the with
