A new movie depicts the final days of stone age man. On the usual five porky gifts that are fit for a queen. And spooky xylo captures potemkin villages on film. So heres the scene late summer nine hundred ninety one in the italian alps a couple are hiking happily over a pass when they make an astonishing discovery an ancient mummy frozen into the ice and naturally preserved who will later make headlines as at sea the ice man well experts later confirmed that hed been lying there for over five thousand years the oldest natural human mummy in europe and whats more he appears to have been murdered well now a brand new film with specially created dialogue for the period postulates what might have happened in the ice mans last days and hours. Hes lost everything his village is in flames his family day. And the perpetrators gone. So the man vows to take revenge and pursue the culprits thats how the producers of the movie iceman imagined thats his fate. I was looking for a mythical figure from our region to tell a universal story so i also wanted to pick a character thats not already known inside and out. Where you have to deliver all those facts and. Concentration. But at sea the naturally mummified stone age man isnt a complete unknown his frozen bodies kept at minus six degrees celsius. To roll museum of archaeology. When it was found scientists were jubilant by analyzing the contents of his stomach they reconstructed his path across the alps and they found an arrowhead in a seas childer the iceman was murdered before you get on the phone up to five before i started writing i tried to read all the literature on the subject then i wrote the first draft and i always wanted the story to be plausible no matter what actually occurred. That was my aim and i kept it until the end. Just interesting but the result is a movie about mans perennial fight for survival at a time when death looms large. German actor you can feel those plays at sea it was his first time portraying a stone age man. It was a challenge i Read Everything i knew how strenuous it would be in the mountains in the cold. That would be physically demanding and i like that to me the story was like a thriller set in the alps fifty three hundred years ago for a revenge story. High mission in addition to focal wasnt allowed to speak german in the movie only a fantasy language based on an early dialect which used to be spoken in the alps. A long. Time to. A time and. A time when. A linguist developed the fantasy language especially for the film although theres not that much dialogue with. This and it will form the sauce its like arc a typical acting its like painting you know youve got a picture and everyone interprets it differently but it still captures a mood that has to do with the colors so thats what acting without speaking is like and i like it. And nature itself posed a further challenge to the actual site of that sees demise south to roles alps are beautiful but unpredictable. Young and i dont know if we were lucky but obviously we didnt lose a single day due to weather problems. Like the snow storm up on the glacier which can be seen in the last quarter of the film. Three days earlier there was no snow there what it looked like the Canary Islands but once we arrived it started snowing we were lucky. Starting november thirtieth the fruits of this hard labor hit the Silver Screen and viewers can finally learn whether or not that seat got his revenge. For the one gripping film to the next this time its one from scandinavia and more in our express. The scandinavian movie sami blood was awarded the European Parliaments lux film prize this tuesday.

Hes a big name here in berlin but daniel bought one boy and is also a true citizen of the world the pianist and conductor has argentinian israeli spanish and palestinian citizenship and for twenty five years now hes been musical director of the berlin state opera while on wednesday mr bottom but i will be seventy five years old but given the pace that he keeps there will be precious little time for celebration. One famous conductor Daniel Barenboim at a rehearsal in berlin. His whole life has been dedicated to music. Barenboim was born in buenos iris in one thousand nine hundred two his jewish parents were both piano teachers a child prodigy he performed his first piano concerto at age seven. I like the description best because i can say the wonder is gone but the child has remained. In one nine hundred fifty two he and his parents moved to israel. He made his debut as a conductor in london in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven and has worked with the worlds leading orchestras ever since in one thousand nine hundred two he became the general music director of the berlin state opera a post he holds to this day. Dont forget that when i came here a year and a half after the fall of the berlin wall. East berlin was still an unusual place and not taken seriously by many in the west. And so naman by feel. During the communist era berlin state opera was largely cut off from the International Classical music scene but under Daniel Barenboim it once again became a world class orchestra. In one nine hundred eighty one then one made his by right debut and conducted there regularly for almost two decades he worked closely with the festivals then director. Pieces by german composer he carved wagner became a focus of barenboims work. Some fellow jews openly criticized him for that because rijkaard wagner was adolf hitlers favorite composer still there and boy managed to get a whole generation of musicians and singers interested in bach in his works. In two thousand and one than one caused a scandal when he conducted the prelude to wagners opera tristan and his older at a festival in israel. When i speak. Of course i respect the feelings of Holocaust Survivors who cant or dont want to have anything to do with this music final. He was but i dont have to respect them. When they prevent other people who thank god dont suffer from these associations from hearing this music. In one thousand nine hundred nine palestinian literary theorist edward saeed in babylon cofounded the west eastern divan orchestra here Young Musicians from the arab world play alongside israeli musicians the idea was to promote Cultural Exchange instead of military conflict in two thousand and seven the orchestra won the premium imperialist grant for young artists. Daniel barenboim son michael himself a world class violinist has been concert master of the west Eastern Division orchestra since two thousand and three he likes working with his father. Because musically you can learn a lot from him we all do we in the orchestra all profit greatly from being able to perform under him and try to take away all we can still to be anything new and Daniel Barenboim knows that with his son his concert master the Youth Orchestra is in good hands. But he does a fish to me study philosophy and he plays the violin and hes a great musician very organized and this at some point you can take over the project and carry on it and lot of vita feel but barenboim has no plans to quit just yet this year saw the opening of the Chamber Music hall he had built for the barenboim saeed academy. Here Young Musicians from the middle east study music and philosophy. Mind. And then its my job to use a somewhat vulgar word to take what theyve learned in philosophy and teach the students how to adapt that into their music and that means how they need to think in terms of music and approach it. Thinking we should visionary conductor pianist philanthropist Daniel Barenboim is a man of many talents on november fifteenth he turned seventy five on this evening two hell be hard at work for you might say hes giving himself and us a concert as a birthday present. And once again wed like to know what kind of music you love the most is it classical like we were just hearing or maybe its even rock or pop that gets you up onto the dance floor whatever it may be please let us know with the survey on our website and as a thanks for your feedback one lucky viewer will of course get. A pretty soon we will be in to precrisis rush on the countdown of shopping days and if youre like me and always racking your brain over yet another round of original gifts well then any inspiration might just be welcome so here are. Five of the strangest gifts given to Queen Elizabeth the second. The queen doesnt normally travel on the subway but that didnt deter londons public transport system from presenting her with a travel card to mark the one hundred Fiftieth Anniversary of the London Underground in fifth place prepaid oyster card but as the queen ever used it. The queens footwear must be elegant and suit her many awful. Colorful outfits so she usually opts for plain black shoes. But in one thousand nine hundred one the then governor of the u. S. State of texas presented her majesty with a pair of custom made come white boots thats our number for the boots might have looked like this but the queens never been seen wearing them. The then princess elizabeth and philip mountbatten married on november twentieth one thousand nine hundred seventy they received wedding gifts from around the world including from the australian state of queensland it gave the newlyweds five hundred cases of tinned pineapple our number three a thoughtful present because fruit was in short supply in postwar britain the royal couple donated the pineapple to schools and hospitals. In two thousand and fifteen berlin welcomed Queen Elizabeth to germany with military honors and this painting by german artist and you called leyden frost its number two on our list of the five unlikely is to give is ever given to the queen the work depicts Queen Elizabeth as a child riding a blue horse led by her father the queen was not impressed was your german president laughed off the embarrassing incident adding that. If you dont like you know. Its hard to go wrong with sweets. In britain the queens subjects include all of the unmarked mute swans but theyre not the only animals when elizabeth the second owns shes been given many on her countless trips abroad the brazilians thought a pair of straw offs would make an appropriate gift for her majesty that tops our list the animals were clearly not suitable for Buckingham Palace and were handed over to london zoo. Of course we are quite suitably amused well a holiday on the Spanish Island of majorca sounds pretty good in mid november but to be there all year round with the sun and the sand in the palm trees sounds like something almost too good to be true or no ark of germany decided to live that dream for real his motto is boat sports boats thats my life and accordingly he spent his days driving all manner of boats as a passionate sailor and boat builder he reinvented himself as an all round Maintenance Man for the yachts of the rich and famous so we stopped by to see him. Its Early Morning in port on the southwest tip of majorca. Quiet in the harbor theres lots of commotion on this yacht theres no power and an acidic smell hangs in the air. Needs to find out where the problem lies he caters for the needs of rich and famous boat owners they enjoy sailing the vessels he fixes them. Im a boat builder a plumber electrician carpenter mechanic hydraulic specialist sailmaker. Painter varnish or fiberglass guy not to mention a good psycho therapist because the guys around here are always easy to deal with and one. Assesses the problems that need fixing and then divvy up the work among his workers at the morning meeting in the clubhouse there is always plenty to do. We work from february to christmas go from one high season to the next theres never an off season. And his team look after close to one hundred boats anchored in port. Most of the vessels owners only sail their expensive yachts a few weeks a year. But the boat still need regular t. L. C. Checking and cleaning them and making repairs is a lucrative business some owners shell out up to twelve hundred euros a month for these services. And this is our mobile shipyard here we have all the tools and everything we need to do any job. And here is a sight to behold. This is our key changes to the bill and. One of those keys belongs to the plain of eda a three million euro luxury vessel it boasts modern controls a salon a large master cabin guest beds and a kitchen the one of the that was out on the water yesterday and its owner wants to use it again this afternoon so the cleaning and maintenance must be done by. Heikal no lock and his employees urrea quickly survey what needs to be done. Ok so we have to check again the boat is not working and then we have a choice thing on the tick tick as far as i know the door is locked. Many owners hold responsible positions and work a lot so when theyre on vacation they dont want to look after anything which i find completely understandable they pay me so they can just come on board and sail away. I dont know he will like point of view his british owner dennis ryan i think hes on the millions with apps and now invests in yachts he likes to pilot them but doesnt know much else about them. So he prefers to pay someone who does plays a very complicated machines so you need a really good support service in order to enjoy the birches it was an essential to the country both of it too so the with so they couldnt take time to fully physics so the kids we could be floating. Along with the technical aspects the cleaning is a major chore its a constant battle against salt water dust and dirt and the refuse from party celebrated on board the crew doesnt ask questions they just clean up the mess because the boat can be tiptop technically but if the owner comes on board and it smells bad or there are spots where its just a youre on a plane weve lost the battle for a long knock spends his life on the water he gave up his apartment on dry land seven years ago and lives on a catamaran in the bay of a. Drudge. Its a dream in life. Sometimes i wake up in the morning jump in the water swim a lap around the boat. I sail as often as i can and i just take my house with me like a snail. I cant imagine anything better. Hike oh no walk takes a dinghy to return to work. His last task of the day is to test out a new yacht which is just left the shipyard. Its lowered carefully into the water. Im happy every time i can pilot a boat even though ive been doing it five times a day for the last fifteen years its a gift from god ive got a family. At some point hike oh no i plans to work on dry land again. Until then hell keep soaking up the sun and enjoying the fresh sea breezes in port on brunch.

Follow us on instagram. A potemkin village is a construction thats built to deceive others into thinking a situation is really a lot better than it is the term harks back to the russian field marshal gregor alexandrovitch potemkin who according to popular legend had a fake portable village built to impress catherine the great during her journey to the recently conquered crimea in seven hundred eighty seven while the story itself is a gross exaggeration potemkin or fake villages do really exist whether for propaganda purposes or even due to faulty planning and austrian photographer greg makes a point of tracking down. This town isnt in afghanistan its in the u. S. Its all fake nobody actually lets hear photographer greg has unearthed many such fake places often called potemkin villages legend has it that the idea for these deceptive facades began in russia and potemkin villages can still be found there today like in the city of. Reason its a myth and we traveled there on a mission to find potemkin villages along the main road. But we didnt know exactly where they were we had to drive up and down the road three or four times as we kept mistaking fake buildings for real ones. So it really works for us this concept could work with in twenty fifteen russian president Vladimir Putin held a summit in the hosts built potemkin villages the idea dates from the eighteenth century when governor potemkin was thought to have set up fake villages in an extreme to impress catherine the second as well its a superficial thing but i think putin knows what things are really like and what state his country is and. This. Is an austrian photographer and artist he works with an analog plate camera much of his work involves acquiring permission to shoot his motifs and his artistic approach is always the same. I take one picture of each subject. Thats how i work if i make a mistake or mess up developing the pictures in the lab thats happened before ill have no picture this. And no this town isnt in germany its in china this copy of a german town was built by the Architecture Firm and partner. But hardly anyone wants to live here. Action is complete. It was designed for around one hundred thousand residents but only fifteen percent is inhabited so the shops and restaurants are empty the apartments are vacant there are almost no cars on the streets let alone people its a surreal atmosphere it feels strange. Has traveled the world searching for potemkin villages in sweden he found a test track for cars complete with fake storefronts from harlem new york. Takes his pictures and if he was lighting with no shadows this brings out the funniness of the facades. That you know creating an illusion and then destroying that illusion by showing it to be two dimensional and with photos from behind that show the scaffolding propping up the visual illusion. It was a long. Silence pictures are common static and they say a lot about the absurdity of our times an era of fake news and fake towns. Potemkin must have been a visionary.
