Erwin Wagenhofer, Austria 2013
A documentary that analyzes the modern educational system and argues that it squelches children's capacity for imagination, creativity, and independent thought.
Vanaf 3 Februari op DVD via Imagine
Alphabet
Erwin Wagenhofer, Oostenrijk 2013
Een ode aan de menselijke verbeelding, in de vorm van een aanklacht tegen hiërarchisch, op competitie en kwantificeerbare resultaten gericht onderwijs. Deze essayistische documentaire neemt de stelling van onderwijsexpert Sir Ken Robinson als uitgangspunt: we beschikken over de buitengewone kracht van de verbeelding, maar dit talent vernietigen we systematisch in onze kinderen en in onszelf. De film treft van China tot Frankrijk dezelfde klachten.
Regisseur Erwin Wagenhofer benadert grote thema's van onze tijd op een originele en radicale manier. Na films over voedsel (We Feed the World, 2005) en geld (Let's Make Money, 2008) stelt hij zich in Alphabet de vraag hoe we in de huidige crisissen terecht zijn gekomen. Waarom zijn we ongelukkig terwijl we alles hebben? Is de opzet en kwaliteit van ons onderwijs een deel van het probleem?

New material by Neon Electronics and upcoming shows by The Neon Judgement
When kindred souls meet across generations, the result of such cultural crossbreeding is often interesting, sometimes good and, if they really connect on different levels, mesmerizing.
As is the case for NEON ELECTRONICS/ne, the collaboration between Dirk Da Davo - he from THE NEON JUDGEMENT fame - and Glenn Keteleer a- relentless dark techno producer with to albums and a string of EP's under his belt. There is common ground, of course: both already co produced tracks with the likes of THE HACKER, DAVID CARRETTA and MILLIMETRIC, and made applauded appearences on DAVE CLARKE's 'White Noise Radio' playlists.
But perhaps even more significant: both share a dystopian view on present and future, where it's open season for governments and multinational corporations that seem to have recieved a license to kill the privacy and freedom of the individual, and a mutual sonic understanding that includes pounding beats bonanzas next to brooding krautrock, marshy soundscapes and twisted dub. So yes, it's dark. And loud. But it's a darkness with a loudly beating heart. Pretty? No. Hauntingly beautiful?Absolutely.
Upcoming LIVE concerts THE NEON JUDGEMENT :
April 30th, G.C Den Dries , Retie (Belgium)
May 16th, EUROROCK, Neerpelt (Belgium)
More dates to be confirmed soon!
