Welcome to our thoughts and culture of the 77th Venice Film Festival is underway bashing on despite the covert 900 pandemic and hoping to give some momentum to an industry in danger of being usurped by streaming Services Also coming up in the pipeline. The museum bought of it any in potsdam welcomes its Permanent Collection of impressionist paintings including the largest collection like an old one a outside of paris. And in our series on german artists and colonialism and with barbie choral uses for work to bring forgotten colonial histories back to life. All cinema is the real antidote to this pandemic those are the words of spanish director Pandora Almodovar 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. Doing president Cate Blanchett or spanish directing legend Pedro Almodovar theres no escaping the street time. On the 1st night of this winton fired up this socially distance audience even at c. R. Cinema cinema cinema what can go for. Nothing but. Cinema is a lie even given the pandemic doing the Opening 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 not 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 Ross Perot joins us live from the lido in venice welcome scott there you are and you know this is so crazy banister 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 the aftermath of 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 Kate Blanchett 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 and to get restart again and i think thats really creating a wave of optimism here at here at venice all thats great to hear now we 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 around. 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 prepared earlier this week. Which is about the 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 the serbian military and then as we know be executed its its a very very powerful film i mean i think this will go down probably as the definitive film about the 70 to 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 of oil 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. Yeah 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 think youll 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. Well it was a huge win for the city of pottstown when German Software magnate has so plot now renovated a Historic Building to how was his Art Collection and the rich one is the museum exhibits works that range from the old masters to contemporary art and this week his long awaited impressionists join the Permanent Collection making one of the most impressive outside of france. Good morning i bought. The impressionists are strongly associated with france but now the barbering easy of imports. Can boast its own striking inflection of impressionist paintings thanks to a permanent line by german businessman fossil plattner. Mr platinum built the museum precisely for this moment he wants to share the paintings 103 of them with the public that was always his wish and its now been accomplished. And he fell in love with france as a sailor i as a nature lover because hes always been interested in bodies of water. Shifted meat isnt passive flesh and how do you francis and the french impressionists i live next to the same river they wanted to be close to the river to the sea. Thats what fascinated him was another pursue near. Among the highlights of the platinum collection are more than 34 morning paintings some of them an hour and display for the 1st time i. Can use feel like they are my learning is perhaps the painter he succeeded the most in capturing the atmosphere he said that he wanted to paint what was between him and the motif under motif it means that he really takes you when youre invited to dive into his works. Alongside more name 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 the paint with so many different views of things sparkles and vibrates the socialist detail so you really need some time to discover the painting for yourself. With the platen i collect. Now on display the bob reading easy i mean points down looks like and little carries in the heart of germany. French companies are has not. Started performing as a child while suffering from leukemia her family moved to europe for her lifesaving treatment and due to language barriers she started to express herself through performance in order to cope with the pain well now shes based in berlin and she says her work is about healing. This quiet german a lake beholding secrets secrets of history mysteries that art could uncover. Things were hidden under the sand and makes the nature speak something here needs to happen a process of ritual of remembrance or saying goodbye or pass it has to happen artist. Felt that here for town outside berlin with nazi bunker towers between houses like this one collapsed. Abandoned soviet barracks testified to the cold war. But it was a deeper layer of history that shocked her most a story nearly unknown and seldom told from the 1st world war people died in the camp because of hunger because of the morning germany already believe that people of color when not human during world war one prisoners from french and british colonies were kept here soldiers from africa and asia it was here that germany built its very 1st mosque meant to show where it was taking care of the mostly muslim prisoners and they were not actually praying inside of the mosque it was too small for the amount of soldiers that were here which was up to 9000. 00 but actually the soldiers were praying on the fields on the outskirts with guns on the head. A century later found the space is now a camp for asylum seekers. With the mosques to it is now a parking lot. Only a tiny marker testifies to its existence. It was born in. But she feels a personal connection to bis place she came here to understand her own history. I found out a few years ago that my great grandfather had died in a german court on your count in north get on which used to be soft come on the family has never buried his buds. Near the camp or the graves of any mates indian soldiers of the British Empire who died while prisoners here. Or wonders where the other bodies of water. There is not a trace of african soldiers here that are better than 100. She believes there are traces in this nearby lake. I wanted to come here. And think about an underground. Archaeology of water. Her performance in arcadia how soldiers become mates together with artist and. Is about remembering and mythologizing those who died. Thank you nicole you dont always hear the closest voices of the left influencing them as they are far away i can talk you know every language i can help you then i would and which is to come back here was a way to bury those voices that were raised and those soldiers that were murderers and make a sort of. Yes act of healing and of burial in this water. The work also uses original audio recordings from the colonial prison camp. By biko believes that some contain the voices of female prisoners whose stories she says historians have ignored. I dont think that history disappears i think its narratives take power but we have forgotten how to listen. She says its up to the descendants of colonial victims to hear their ancestor story and bring them back to the surface. Clutter. And thats all for this week so until next time thanks so much for watching and all the best. In the. Room or in the book you are no one on the no people are. Going to learn from your local news for. Exposing and justice global news that matters to you many things. Television is for me. It. Is for you. Is for. Me. And beethoven is for. Beethoven is for covering one. Beethoven 21. 50th anniversary here on. Kist Artificial Intelligence is a bit like a human who is inside Something Else n. S. All. This is not as smart as you but it could be as smart as you in the future. I believe that will become robots at some point you. Are sufficient intelligence is changing now minds. But what can it really do what will change and hope will remain signed fiction. To answer these questions we embarked on a journey to meet the some interests working on our future. Book and southern germany come to the headquarters of kuka the worlds leading manufacturer of industrial robots. I have a shelf is head of research here and is considered to be one of the worlds leading experts in this field. He and his team are working on a new generation of robots that learn independently my children the task to recognize and sort building blocks. As to what is this robotic system taught itself how to grab life in other words there was no human programming the robot. Thats what we try by himself. As ever he tried by himself like a child when he 1st started grabbing he wasnt successful except for in one to 2 percent of cases but he observed himself often by observing himself in the robot identified when an image successfully matched a particular grasping motion and when it didnt do this for vanished. Hes applied what he learned and now he can successfully grab these objects over 90 percent of the time shopping thats the problem i didnt program him in yet hes still learning the task by himself seeing that really motivates you to someone says you. Know what if the rulebook sees a new object such as plan as. This engine is punishment its a nice example every child would just say ok grab and move those pliers over no problem. But hes still failing. As i thought well hes failing because he doesnt know what kind of inertial force this object has to be able to grab it properly. So 53 pounds of. People but you can see how hes already trying out different methods and in time he may get the hang of it i should add that he isnt trained after every attempt he collects around a 1000 data and then the neural net is retrained so its possible that if we let him try a 1000 times now he would at least be able to grab them reliably. Intelligent robots that learn by themself they can recognize parts. And they can independently adapt to their environment with a hunk of ai. But were only in the Early Development stages. Yet the mind if i have a favorite example and thats chess these days there are computers or ai they can be chess champions the shaft. And thats what we dont have a robot that can reach into a bookcase take out a chest open the box take out the pieces one by one set them up and Start Playing with. A 6 year old can do that but no existing robot can become so for the moment whenever i need physical intelligence were still doomed to fail and i think that will be the case for a few more years some site on forth i dont need to spit on the compiler so dos. Yet machines are Getting Better and more into. And this video was produced using special effects. But this robot has learned how to play table tennis it was built by research as im typing it and shows how much is only possible in the real world none of its the how long will it take before robots are better than us in some areas of us enjoyed field of ai robots already are better than us in many areas particularly those requiring nondairy at repetition a great deal of force or a high degree of precision and it hurts or the tasks current robots are not as good at as we are are those involving sensors theres no point in eyeing that and i think it will be another 10 or 20 years before we have robots that can hold a candle to humans and some areas. Thats the size of. We humans use all of our senses and can do more than smart robots but the robots are beginning to learn. Us official intelligence also plays an Important Role in a story that began in january 1902 in Mt Washington new hampshire. Hugh hat was 17 years old at the time together with his friend jeff thats a huge went up the mountain. But they were caught off guard by a change in the weather a blizzard raged for 3 whole days the missing boys were only found after 4 days both were alive but they had severe frostbite. The doctors decided to amputate his legs just below the knee. Theres the 2 years later hugh has ai legs which he developed himself he spoke on turning disability into opportunity at the ted conference in 2014. Disability. Done to andrea and has led davis lost a leg in 2000 and fast. In the terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon thanks to the smart prosthesis by hugh had she can dance again. Some needed. Some thought. To use. 100000. Boston home to the Massachusetts Institute of technology. At which you had to talk about Artificial Intelligence and the human body is the pioneer in the field of intelligent prosthetics a Single Person who is both developer and. There are dozens of prototypes in his lap. So this is you have a motor and you have theres a motor this is a synthetic subcellar joint for inversion a version. So weve interacted and spent millions of dollars to the to arrive at this optimal architecture. You began developing prostheses after his lower limbs had been amputated his replacement legs became increasingly complex now they are a items with countless census mosts and computers. I quickly realize that i had an opportunity that from my knees dale i was there was a blank slate and i could create anything in that space that i could conceive of a legend so i started as a young male a certain legend. What what that blank space may look like what may fill that space. Disability depends on perspective. Hugh has developed an awful nonsense. With the special pathy she says hes developed himself he can once again to see his greatest passion climbing. So there was a computer in here theres 3 actually 3 and this size of your thumbnail. Its a very small microprocessors and theres a muscle tendon like motor system. So the computer runs out rhythms and receives sensory information so the device is measuring its position speed accelerations temperatures and whatnot all that information goes into the computer the computer runs our thems and then decides on the actions of the muscle tendon like motor system in this all happens very fast so
