Berlin Feminist Film Week - closing night with Roan and Angels Wear White

IMG_20190313_191535.jpg
(Berlin Feminist Film Week 2019 © Lindsay Bellinger)   By LINDSAY R. BELLINGER  
 
 The Berlin Feminist Film Week closed out their 6th consecutive year last night, after having an eventful seven-day run filled with screenings with q&a's, panels and workshops. This particular film festival was founded in 2014 by Karin Fornander and has steadily grown in popularity with each passing year. This year's Feminist Film Week started with a sold out screening of Desiree Akhavan's film The Miseducation of Cameron Post accompanied by Julia Fuhrmann's short film Riot Not Diet on March 7th at one of my favorite cinemas in the city, Babylon Kino. Last night's closing screening of Vivian Qu's Angels Wear White, a neo-noir mystery set in a rural Chinese beach town, and the announcement of the Berlin Activist + Feminist Film Fund recipient and the Audience Award 2019 also took place at Babylon, which was a real treat for me. Anytime I get a chance to watch a film, performance or World Cup screening (with live organist) at Babylon is a perfect day for me. Talented organist Anna Vavilkina was also there last night, entertaining the crowds before the beginning of the festivities. She is a staple at Babylon's weekly Stummfilm um Mitternacht, when they screen free silent films with live organ every Saturday night/Sunday morning (depending on how you look at it) at midnight. ...

So, with a giveaway title like 22 Yards, you can expect nothing but a film on cricket.

ORIENTALISM HAS PROVED TO BE ONE OF MY RECENT BASIC GENRES. Esperimental cinema of Mediterranean knighthood, medieval subjects (miniatures, manuscripts, verses) and annual reports of knights' orders are now acclaimed to be my fresh themes. Featurings and documentaries of restricted length (up to 30 minutes each), because of the versified and symbolically-publicistic forms, prove to be a new layer at my genre vision. I spread my feature research onto the countries up to the Far East and Sou...

THE CREEPY LINE a film by M.A.Taylor 2018

"A film that Google does not want you to see  - filmfestivals.com Best for Fest"

An eye-opening documentary, The Creepy Line reveals the stunning degree to which society is manipulated by Google and Facebook and blows the lid off the remarkably subtle – hence powerful – manner in which they do it.

The Creepy Line is a title culled from the words of former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, when during a 2010 interview he explained Google’s code of conduct: “The Google policy on a lot of things is to get right up to the creepy line and not cross it.”

However, as Dr. Robert Epstein explains in the film, “Google crosses the creepy line every day”. 

Offering first-hand accounts, scientific experiments and detailed analysis, The Creepy Line examines what is at risk when these two tech titans have free reign to utilize the public’s most private and personal data to manipulate society.

There is no question that the “creepy line” is getting ever-creepier, and that the tech giants have crossed it.

Sharkwater Extinction first peek

Rob Stewart “Conservation is the preservation of human life on earth. And that, above all else, is worth fighting for” Watch Rob Stewart doing what he loved most of all, swimming with sharks, in exclusive footage from his third film, Sharkwater: Extinction.

Sharkwater: Extinction is a follow up to his first two award-winning films, Sharkwater and Revolution. Sharkwater exposed the devastating issue of shark finning, while Revolution brought the destructive effects of Ocean Acidification to light.

Contexte Le film devait initialement être réalisé par Fritz Lang, qui aurait eu l’idée d’ajouter un prologue et un épilogue pour justifier l’irréalisme du décor et le choix de l’expressionnisme, mais, en train de tourner Les Araignées, il fut empêché de poursuivre le projet par les distributeurs qui avaient un besoin urgent du film. Ce fut alors à Robert Wiene que le travail échut...
