La realizadora alemana Cosima Dannoritze dirige esta reveladora historia sobre la "obsolescencia programada", que explica por qué los productos que compramos duran cada vez menos; detalla la programación de la obsolescencia de los objetos para incrementar su consumo reincidente por el ciudadano. ¿Existen bombillas eternas? ¿Cómo se puede usar un chip para 'matar' un producto cuando llegue a un determinado número de usos? Éstas y otras muchas preguntas encuentran respuesta en este reportaje, en cuya realización participaron RTVE y otras televisiones europeas. El documental -en inglés- ha sido rodado en Cataluña, Francia, Alemania, EE.UU. y Ghana, un país africano que se ha convertido en el vertedero de la 'basura electrónica' de Occidente.
Writer
Algérie(s) chronicles the country's struggle for peace, stability and democracy since independence from France. The documentary combines recent and archival interviews, newsreel footage, and recently filmed footage from Algeria to trace the origins of the violence that has left as many as 200,000 dead since 1988. Algérie(s) begins with a brief historical survey of events in Algeria since independence in 1962, and moves on to focus on the democratization process set in motion after the October 1988 riots, the success of Islamist groups in elections, the subsequent cancellation of these elections by the military, and the country's descent into violence, up to the present day. The film provides an excellent overview of recent events and asks tough questions about their causes, and humanizes a conflict that was all too often reported deep inside the newspaper with little more than "score cards" of the numbers killed.
Director
A compilation of vignettes of daily life in Sarajevo and the people who fight to survive the war that tears the city apart. In November 1993 BBC2 TV began to broadcast 'Sarajevo: A Street Under Siege', a 2-minute film shown every night before the 22.30 Newsnight programme. It was bringing a day-by-day account of how the siege was affecting a group of ordinary citizens. The authors were Ademir Kenovic, a graduate of the Sarajevo Film and Theater Academy, and Patrice Barrat, a director from an independent French production company. The full version of the film was broadcast on BBC2 on 20 March 1994. Later on in 1994 the film 'Sarajevo: A Street Under Siege', ('Chaque jour pour Sarajevo') received a BAFTA (British Academy Award of Film & TV Arts) award and the Jury Award at the Locarno Film Festival.
