The ten of hearts goes and comes, is transformed into a club, rolls itself into a tube, is fired and consumed, without apparent human agency. A king appears, materializes in minute form, deals the cards of his suit and disappears. The magician opens out the pack until the cards stand in line, when a king and queen rise, step from their cards, give ocular and graceful demonstration of their affection, and retire once more into private card life. An ace next arises, the center filled by a jocund face, whose features work in a most ludicrous manner, after which it divides and sub-divides into four aces, each with its own animated center face, a comic picture.

53227 ::: Ariodante (1996) ::: music ::: On 8th January 1735 at the Covent Garden in London, Georg Friederich Handel presented his new opera Ariodante on a libretto by Antonio Salvi adapted by Paolo Rolli and inspired by Ariosto. The opera did not immediately win public favour and thus failed to furnish a definitive solution for the fate of Handel's company, but with time it was to be understood and appreciated and has remained on playbills among the more successful and interesting titles. Handel's particular attention to the expressive aspect was most probably the reason for the opera's limited commercial success: the characters fit only partially into the customary types of opera of the day. The tendency to formulate autonomous patterns in the expressive genre is also underlined by an illustrious contemporary, John Mainwaring, in his Memoirs of the life of George Frederick Handel. Extraordinary is also the strength of the instrumental composition, which again in Ariodante is intended now as support to the voices now as independent, coinciding with steps in the sinfonia and with delightful dance motives. In this production of the Spoleto Festival, at his 50th anniversary, Alan Curtis conducts the Complesso Barocco and an extraordinarily agile Ann Hallenberg in the title role. Scenes and costumes by John Pascoe. Together with Giulio Cesare and Rodelinda, Ariodante is considered one of Handel's operatic masterpieces. It was composed for London's Covent Garden theatre, where it was first performed on January 8th, 1735. Alan Curtis and his Complesso Barocco rank among the best specialists in baroque music, and regularly record for Virgin, Deutsche Grammophone and now also for Dynamic. Thanks to the interesting and personal touch of the director Alan Pascoe, this production comes across as a very credible show. Pascoe and Curtis, incidentally, already gained remarkable success with Vivaldi's Ercole sul Termodonte, published by Dynamic in 2007
53228 ::: CUT: Teens and Self Injury (2007) ::: documentary ::: CUT: Teens and Self Injury provides an intimate look at a problem that affects thousands of young people, their families and friends. Resisting sensationalism and graphic images, the film draws its power from the voices of the teens themselves. They talk about the sources of their cutting: their experiences of alienation and inadequacy, their deep desire to feel, their sense of cutting as a part of the world they can control. They describe the resistance and denial that often greets their attempts to talk about their feelings and actions. And, crucially, they describe the ways in which they began to confront, and often overcome, their urge toward self-harm. Interviews with parents and mental health professionals help establish broader contexts for understanding the extent of the problem and ways of addressing it. Weaving in artworks created by the teens and music about self-injury, CUT's highlights include rock icon Shirley Manson's moving testimony concerning her own cutting. Fully aware of the extent of the problem, the film incorporates the perspectives of males and females, whites blacks and Asian Americans. Urgent, searching, and profoundly moving, CUT issues a call to bring the problem of self-injury out of the shadows and reminds us that the first step towards healing is an honest acknowledgement of reality.

In "Sugo" a vinyl sample roars and rustles. white noise deep in the cellar. The moving images which later make their appearance come from two different worlds. Master of ceremonies Hannes Langeder runs them parallel to each other. Black and white pulsating branches in tissue which appear to have blood pumping through them as in an X-ray film. Parallel to this two people are doing something strange with spaghetti in a flickering light and animated by pixelation to intense twitching. This opens up the semantic field to which the title of the piece also belongs - fun with food. It hangs from one person^Ěs mouth to be flung through the air towards the other. A silent orgy in a bare room lit by flashbulb-like light. An ecstatic secret game, the rules of which are not (yet) accessible. The staccato flow of image and sound last just under three minutes and then the roaring loses its intensity, the film tears, dies. life in another form. One can say, in the end and in spite of minimal production values, "Sugo" looks like science fiction, like artificial intelligence and fresh meat.

53300 ::: Aleut Story (2005) ::: documentary ::: From isolated internment camps in Southeast Alaska to Congress and the White House, this is the incredible, untold story of Aleut Americans' decades-long struggle for human and civil rights. In 1942, as World War II invaded Alaska, Aleut Americans were taken from their homes and removed to abysmal government camps 1,500 miles away. Death was ever-present in the camps. An estimated 10 percent of the men, women and children sent to the camps would die there-a death rate comparable to that suffered by Americans in foreign prisoner of war camps. As the Aleuts prayed for deliverance, "friendly forces" looted their homes and churches in the Aleutian and Pribilof islands. Those who survived would fight for their rights-in the nation's courts and on Capitol Hill. In a historic action-one that continues to influence our lives and our nation's ideals-Aleuts joined Japanese Americans in seeking wartime reparations from the federal government. Aleut Americans ultimately prevailed. Richly textured with all the elements of great human drama-war, suffering, sacrifice, faith, self-discovery and renewal-Aleut Story is a poignant and timely film about the least known chapters of the American civil rights experience. Filmed on location in Alaska and Washington, DC on 35mm and S16mm, Aleut Story moves viewers through a distant landscape with mesmerizing cinematography, presents rare archival images and contemporary interviews. Narrated by EmmyŽ winner Martin Sheen, historical readings by John O'Hurley, vocals and flute by GrammyŽ winner Mary Youngblood.
