Abu Dhabi Style shows us some glimpses of the city, and introduces us to the students' lives at the college and during their spare time. But we also learn about traditions and the importance of religion in the lives of these modern young men.
Sin títuloA Journey in Afghanistan. After two decades of chaos and destruction, a country searches for its identity. Eight places. A cinematic encounter with people and their realities. A nightclub, a school, a hospital, a taxi – the people there talk about daily life in Afghanistan beyond the war and the Taliban. The director observes people and incidents on his journey, starting in the northern province and eventually reaching the capital Kabul. The result is a mosaic, presented as episodes leaving out West-European commentary.
Sin títuloJuly 1st, 1997. An elderly man arrives in Italy on a flight from Paris. The special forces of the Carabinieri immediately arrest him. Antonio Negri had voluntarily returned to his home country after 15 years in exile. The newspaper Liberation hails it as, “The return of the Devil”. Over the years, few intellectuals have experienced as much admiration and hatred, or as much praise and rejection, as Antonio Negri. His book “Empire”, a critical analysis of the new global economy, was hailed as a bold new manifesto for the 21st century and overnight it turned Negri into a leading spokesperson for the international anti-globalization movement.
Sin títuloFor Antonio Negri, renowned political philosopher and author of “Empire” with Michael Hardt, a 17 year long chapter of repressive Italian politics of detention, exile, and imprisonment recently ended. The question for Negri is how one can preserve the freedom of spirit within a penal structure that focuses more on the interior than exterior life of the prisoner. For Antonio Negri, the cell of resistance from which he wrote became an enclosure of peace. The Cell is comprised of three video interviews with Antonio Negri: 1997 while he was in exile in Paris, 1998 in the Roman prison of Rebibbia, and 2003 after his release in Rome.

Asentamientos informales en Berlín tras la caída del muro Después de 1989, en la Todesstreifen –la llamada «franja de la muerte», la franja de terreno que discurría a lo largo del muro vigilado, accesible solamente a los VoPos (los miembros de la policia nacional de la RDA)– se establecieron algunos grupos anarquistas que veían en aquel territorio liberado un lugar adecuado para la práctica de estilos de vida alternativos respecto del capitalismo y el consumismo occidentales. Los Wagenplatz –asentamientos de remolques y vagones– han organizado el espacio de este vacío urbano, y aún hoy resisten como lugares que ofrecen regularmente a la ciudad varios servicios sociales y culturales. La opción de vivir con la mínima expresión del confort y de forma del todo autogestionada es uno de los principios fundamentales de estos asentamientos, a los que se asocian otras formas de activismo y sensibilización política (lucha contra el sexismo, veganismo/vegetarianismo, ecologismo). Pero el futuro de estos colectivos es incierto: los proyectos de transformación inmobiliaria de las áreas donde están ubicados les amenazan continuamente con el desalojo, cosa que ocurre con regularidad y, por tanto, obliga a los okupas a trasladar sus remolques y vagones a zonas aún sin proyecto de urbanización. De éstos, uno de los más contestados es Media Spree, la Ciudad de los Medios de Comunicación, que en los próximos años crecerá hasta ocupar ciento ochenta hectáreas de la Todesstreifen, y que transformará radicalmente la imagen de una de las áreas históricamente más anárquicas de la ciudad.
