Краткое содержание
The issue of young Muslims traveling from Europe to countries such as Syria and Somalia to fight with Islamic rebels is a highly topical one, making this story of a Danish-Somalian boy even more relevant. His back turned to the camera as he looks out over a nondescript housing development in Copenhagen, “The Shadow” describes how he fell victim to recruiters from the militant Somalian rebel group al-Shabaab. He outlines the conditions that make boys such as him susceptible to the lure of the “holy war,” explaining that, “Nothing in my life made any sense.” So eloquent is he in his account that one might think it was scripted, but what happened to him is as real as the scenes from a suicide attack by one of his former friends.

A featurette directed by French actress Edwige Shaki where Eric Rohmer worked as a technical adviser, THE CURVE is a movie that has the inimitable Rohmer stamp.

Die Ausgesperrten revolves around an unlikely group of 4 youths in Vienna who band together, each for different reasons, to mug people. Two are fraternal twins, the third a blue-collar worker, the fourth the privileged daughter of wealthy parents who "needs a little dirt in her life". The story provides penetrating insights into the Austria of the 50s, in which some enjoyed the benefits of the "Economic Miracle", while others were shut out. It repeatedly references Austria's Nazi past and the numerous ways in which it influences the present despite the conspiracy of silence which surrounds it.

В итоге, научный опыт превращается в человеческий, результат - непредсказуем...

At the tender age of 70 years, Sigrídur Níelsdóttir starts to publish her music – directly from her living room. This modern Icelandic fairy tale is one of the most beautiful stories to be told about music. In seven years, Grandma Lo-Fi recorded 59 records and wrote more than 600 songs. The creative senior is a cult figure of the Icelandic music scene and thus it seems obvious to go through Grandma Lo-Fi’s life accompanied by artists such as Múm, Sin Fang and Mr Silla.

Его можно назвать героем, но его героизм — не в совершении подвига, и не в принесении себя в жертву, а в его ежедневной, монотонной деятельности в течение всей жизни. В то же время — это фильм о мужской любви — к земле, к сыну, к дочери, к женщине. Он о трудном выборе своего пути и понимании долга — перед землей, страной, перед всеми предшествующими поколениями.

Гора Цуруга, расположенная в префектуре Тояма, возвышается на 2999 м над уровнем моря. Она известна своей неприступностью, и с древних времен считалась священной. Поэтому вплоть до 20 века, гора оставалась белым пятном на топографических картах Японии. Но в 1907 году военное командование призывает Сибасаки, известного топографа, и приказывает взойти на гору Цуруга, чтобы произвести геодезическую съемку. Сибасаки в компании с Тёдзиро, местным проводником, и группой смельчаков берется выполнить это опасное задание и установить на вершине горы тригонометрический пункт (тригопункт) — специальный геодезический знак, служащий опорной точкой для геодезических измерений на местности.
