Nicholas Baum travels through Holland, Spain and Portugal in search of clues to the mystically fascinating paintings of the forerunner of Surrealism, the medieval artist Hieronymus Bosch (circa 1450-1516). His contemporaries accused him of heresy, alchemy, witchcraft and the use of hallucinogens, causing hellish visions. The world of Bosch is still mysterious and full of secrets. Bosch is a 15th-century Dutch painter whose real name is Hieronymus Van Aken. This name has always been surrounded by a halo of mystery and mystery, too little reliable data about the life of the artist, too unusual and peculiar his work. For today’s viewer, the perception of Bosch’s paintings is complicated by ignorance of medieval symbolism. The combination of things and objects, which seem ridiculous or accidental to us, for the contemporaries of the master had a very specific meaning. For the sake of revealing the inner meaning of what is happening, Bosch resorts to the language of allegory. None of his works have been dated. The world of this artist is such that Bosch’s works continue to delight ordinary visitors to museums who simply love art. close

With unprecedented access, this documentary looks into the hidden world of one of Russia's most impenetrable and remote institutions - a maximum security prison exclusively for murderers. Deep inside the land of the gulags, this is the end of the line for some of Russia's most dangerous criminals - 260 men who have collectively killed nearly 800 people. The film delves deep into the mind and soul of some of these prisoners. In brutally frank and uncensored interviews the inmates speak of their crimes, life and death, redemption and remorselessness, insanity and hope. The film tracks them though their unrelenting days over several months, lifting the veil on one of Russia's most secretive subcultures to reveal what happens when a man is locked up in a tiny cell for 23 hours every day, for life. A startling insight into inscrutable minds and the forbidding world they have been condemned to. (Storyville) close

In the film, we see subjects instructed to administer electric shocks of increasing severity to another person, and observe both obedient and defiant reactions. After the experiment, we witness subjects explain firsthand their actions. Obedience is as relevant today as it was at its publication. As we as a society witness suicide bombings, torture, and gang atrocities, we wonder just how far people will go. Fifty years later, this experiment still resonates as people ask themselves, “Would I pull that lethal switch?” This is the only authentic film footage of Milgram’s famous experiment and is essential to all foundational work in social psychology at the graduate, undergraduate, and high school level. close

Although at first sight this might look like a simple ‘making of DANCER IN THE DARK’, the later developments in the film reveal the whole drama of Lars von Trier’s inner life during the shooting process. All his doubts and insecurities in collaborating with the crew and actors - especially actresses - are exposed. The biggest drama started when Björk walked off the set. Nobody knew whether she would be back or not. Admitting that he feels threatened by women, who can ‘make him feel embarrassed’, the director gives this documentary the nature of a personal diary. When he discusses the importance, purpose and beauty of the use of a hundred cameras in a certain sequence or the meaning of the Dogma 95 rules, the audience is witnessing the process of the artist’s search. Is the pain that the director went through during the shooting really visible in the final result, as Lars von Trier claims in this film? (from: http://www.idfa.nl/) close
