And in our series on german artists and colonialism and with bob uses her work to bring forgot colonial history back to life. Of cinema is the real antidote to this pandemic those are the words of spanish director pandora and as the Venice Film Festival bravely resuscitate the festival circuit one can only hope that hes right suffice it to say the cinephiles in attendance were determined to keep the dream alive. Whether you.

R. Cinema cinema cinema what can go for. Nothing but love. Cinema is a lie even during a pandemic. Ceremony swinton was honored with a golden lion for her lifes work then he is the 1st of the worlds major Film Festivals to take place in person since looked down. On the 3rd day the most is almost back in its old swing the themes are once again in the spotlight not the measures required in order to show them. And my colleague scott roxboro joins us live from the lido in ringback venice welcome scott there you are and you know this is so crazy bannister in a Global Pandemic so different from what youre used to whats hows it going. Yeah its going surprisingly well here i mean it is odd to be here with a mouse that wear masks in the cinema to have the sort of the smell the scent of disinfectant gel everywhere you go but it actually does still feel like a real Film Festival and i think that has so much to do with the fact that everybody here the stars like a planned child like Pedro Almodovar like Tilda Swinton but also all the ordinary film fans and film reviewers here are just desperate for venice to succeed they really are desperate for the Film Industry to get going again to get restart again and i think thats really creating a wave of optimism here and here at venice well thats great to hear now weve heard in the piece that its a very political festival this year especially the competition film so whats striking about the lineup for you this time round. Yeah its interesting because usually venice is a very big hollywood festival a lot of big oscar films start here and that hasnt happened this year because so many of those films are being held back by the studios so in their place we see a lot of more interesting european and political very political Strong Political films there was one the premier earlier this week. Which is both a celebrity its a massacre its a bosnian film and this is incredibly powerful it follows a u. N. Translator boston Woman Working for the u. N. Peacekeeping group translating between them and and the bosnians there and basically the film is about her struggle to try and desperately save her husband and her 2 sons from being swept up by this serbian military and then as we know be executed it is a very very powerful film i mean i think this will go down probably as the definitive film about the 72 massacre it really shows how rawson about can be and how cinema can really. Be a testimony to history of very very powerful movie and i think will go far after its premiere here in venice ok scott were running shortly out of time but still early days what other highlights do you see coming up or amongst what youve seen so far. What one of the big highlights for me was a french film called lovers a completely different not a political movie at all film the why are sort of in the style of a clutch a boy is just a film with a lot of sexiness a lot of danger and and crime and some incredible interiors a film to film to escape into and i think thats also something that were seeing a lot of here in venice that im really looking forward to in the coming days and what will we be checking in with you about on monday because we will check in obviously early days still whats coming up next week. Yes monday i think is one of the big holiday of this festival one night in miami its a directorial debut of oscar winning actress regina king and its set in 1964 and its a civil rights drama about a real life meeting that occurred between Mohammad Ali Malcolm x. The singer sam cooke and jim brown the. N. F. L. Football player or not and civil rights activist im really excited to see this movie its already being seen as an oscar candidate so i i think will be really excited to see it on monday thanks very much scott lets check in with you again on monday and between now and then happy viewing and stay safe.

Thats what fascinated him was another person near. Among the highlights of the cloud in a collection are more than 34 mourning a paintings some of them are now on display for the 1st time i. Watch the news feel like they are learning is perhaps the painter he succeeded the most in capturing the shot in the sphere he said that he wanted to paint what was between him and the motif under motif it means that he really takes you in and youre invited to dive into his works. Alongside monet many other impressionists are also featured alfred sees lees paintings of snake scenes stand out. The impressionists were fascinated by snow because it gave a completely different outlook to landscapes they were familiar with but i think the really interesting thing with these landscapes is this when you see them from far away you think of the color white but the closer you get you actually see that paint with so many different views of things sparkles and vibrates the circle of detail so you really need some time to discover the painting for yourself. With the platen i collect. Now on display. Looks like a little carries in the heart. French cavaney.
