Euro Dome Simulator
Documentary
Overview
While Virtual Reality promises a whole world, in fact it offers only a view within the strictly defined boundaries of a sphere. Is this also the case for the strictly defined boundaries of the European Union? When crossing the borders of the European Union, one is not allowed to film. This also applies to Google and their Street View cars, resulting in gaps in the available Street View coverage within the area of EU border control posts. The Euro dome is increasingly made more visible and intimidating from the outside: high fences with barbed wire stand tall along the border and armed border patrols pass by on a regular basis. While from inside the dome, one can only see a virtual glimpse of its borders. A faint reflection or a delayed feedback version.

They call each other Emmanuel and Vladimir - but despite the informal tone, a fateful negotiation is taking place.

To be in Venice and see the architecture of New York, to perceive in a painting by Tintoretto the birth of animated images, to look at the burlesque Cretinetti as the ancestor of montage - so many shifts, displacements, and striking telescopings that Philippe-Alain Michaud proposes in this film dedicated to him. To follow this art historian, curator of the cinema collections at the Centre Pompidou, is to go from the oriental carpet to the film, or from the first fireworks to the cinema. And everywhere the animation of the images - projections of Antony McCall, or of Paul Sharits, Column without end of Brancusi, Pasolini's Accatone - everything moves! Under the tutelage of Aby Warburg, the great art historian of the early twentieth century, precursor of iconology and image comparison, to whom Philippe-Alain Michaud was the first in France to devote an important essay, eleven images are placed on the table to describe the singular journey of this art historian.

On June 9, 2024, during the European elections, over half a million young voters backed Jordan Bardella, while others turned to Marion Maréchal. A new generation of leaders is emerging, reshaping old ideological foundations.

The decision to move to Holland doesn't sound like a wise idea. Why move to a country that could be flooded at any moment? For the last 25 years, the political climate has shifted. The public debate on migration has become harsher, more heated, and polarized. What would have been considered right-wing xenophobia back then, is now considered mainstream. Populists simplify complex realities into good and evil, victims and perpetrators: ‘us’ versus ‘them’. Their rhetoric often consists of dehumanizing words and metaphors. One of these is ‘water’. In reality, water is not an immediate threat to the average Dutch person; but it is a huge threat to the thousands trying to reach the Netherlands. People trying to survive the Mediterranean Sea in rubber boats. Trying to survive winter on the Aegean coast in primitive tents. To them, water really is deadly.

Women's work, gender equality, prison conditions, AIDS patients, humanization of hospitals, parental authority, equal pay... Simone Veil fought many battles that are little known today. As we prepare to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the law on abortion, enacted on January 17, 1975, the time has come to tell her story in a new way through this portrait of a woman ahead of her time: in the light of her other struggles.

In February 2013, the New World Symphony presented Making the Right Choices: A John Cage Centennial Celebration, a spectacular three-day festival dedicated to the music and ideas of John Cage. As part of the festival, NWS hosted a new video installation entitled NWS: 4’33″, created by New York-based composer, director, performer and recording artist Mikel Rouse; which consisted of video performances contributed by Cage fans via a special YouTube site set up by Rouse. The public was invited to record and submit their own video, and visit the installation during the festival to see their work in the SunTrust Pavilion at the New World Center. These videos will be included in an online Archive of the event, a lasting tribute to this defining and seminal artist.
