Краткое содержание
A documentary about young people with autism, and how arts and creative therapies help them to lead fuller lives.
On the isle of Rhodes, Katherine, an expatriate English photographer, lives with her daughter. A young local wants to encourage tourism, so he commissions a sculpture of the Unknown Tourist for the town square; the sculptor he brings to Rhodes is Kate's ex-husband. Also there to see Kate is Sharp, an aging antiquarian and her dear friend. He has something important to tell her. As Kate, her ex, and Sharp sort out things that go back years, two English tourists bumble about, one thinking he's fallen in love with Kate, his wife thinking she's found her own lover. A rare vase, a spy, old friendships, the statue's unveiling, and off-hand English sorting-out play into the resolution.
A disparate group of dancers, preferring to express themselves through dance rather than speech, clash with each other and members of the local community.

FOREIGNERS OUT! SCHLINGENSIEFS CONTAINER is a thrilling, insightful, funny chronicle and reflection of one of he biggest public pranks and acts of art terrorism ever committed. Austria 2000: Right after the FPÖ under Jörg Haider had become part of the government, the first time an extreme right wing party became state officials after WW2, infamous German shock director Christoph Schlingensief showed a very unique form of protest. Realising public xenophobia and the new hate politics in the most drastic ways possible, he installed a public concentration camp right in the middle of Vienna's touristic heart, right beside the picturesque opera where hundreds of tourists and locals pass by daily. And it was no concentration camp you had ever feared to return from the old times, but one that cynically reflected our new multimedia culture. Satirising reality TV shows, "Big Brother" especially, a dozen asylum seekers were surveilled by a multitude of cameras, could be fed and watched by.

Songs for Drella is a concept album by Lou Reed and John Cale, both formerly of The Velvet Underground, and is dedicated to the memory of Andy Warhol, their mentor, who had died unexpectedly in 1987. Drella was a nickname for Warhol coined by Warhol Superstar Ondine, a contraction of Dracula and Cinderella, used by Warhol's crowd. The song cycle focuses on Warhol's interpersonal relations and experiences, with songs falling roughly into three categories: Warhol's first-person perspective (which makes up the vast majority of the album), third-person narratives chronicling events and affairs, and first-person commentaries on Warhol by Reed and Cale themselves. The songs on the album are, to some extent, in chronological order.

"Элегия дороги" - сказка о путешественнике, который преодолевает иллюзорное пространство, чтобы попасть в воображаемое прошлое. Ни популярности, ни славы. Из "Сала Перла" все время показа тонкой струйкой вытекали люди, и к концу фильма и так наполовину пустой зал был едва заполнен... Визуальное пространство его новой элегии с самого начала - зыбкая, дрожащая картинка, как марево, - нечто ускользающее, туманное, неопределенное. Снег, 2 солдата, идущие по тропе между сугробов, дерево, которое все еще несет свои цветы, несмотря на метель. Эти люди часто оставались здесь, они все время что-то обсуждали. А это окно все время было заперто - никто из нас не знал, что за окном, но Питер нарисовал его открытым. А дети на этом месте никогда не играли. Сокуров рассказывает о событиях на площади святой Марии так, как будто он жил вместе со всеми нарисованными людьми и самим художником.
