"Under the recording" (or "for the protocol")
Kirby Dick, Amy Cyring
About Sex Forest in hip-hop
More than ten women were accused of many years of harassment and Abugrasel Simmons - Magnata, co -founder of the famous Def Jam Recordings, producer, singer, and the UN goodwill ambassador.
Simmons victims of different years tell the stories of coercion to sex.
It seems to be another film from the series generated by the #Metoo movement.
But the tonality of the picture avoids sharp, exposure paints. This is a difficult, painful confession, in which pain, disappointment, shame, devastation, hopelessness, self -deception and sincerity.
The directors of Kirby Dick and Amy Tsering in the documentary films “Invisible War” and “Hunting Poor” talked about sexual and other violence in the US Army, in college campuses. The emotional and semantic center of the painting “Under the Recording” was the monologue Dryu Dixon. The top manager of the New York Def Jam Records, charming, green-eyed daughter of the first woman-mayor Washington, made a brilliant career in the musical industry. She produced duets and groups, organized notes, received awards. But once the boss Russell Simmons, inviting him to a business meeting, raped her.
Today it is customary to ironize the women who once experienced this, but decided to tell about it after years. Looking into the eyes of Dryu Dixon, you understand what cost is given to the abuse, in fact that her life was distorted, Drew threw a star career in A& R. How difficult it was to say this out loud. Yes, and all loved ones told her:
“Forget, go further. He is a mega -known millionaire. Who will listen to the color! "
Not only Dixon, but many African American performers, managers talked about Simmons's harassment, including how he knew how to destroy the careers of unyielding subordinates overnight. In this choir there is recognition of the writer Sil Lai Abrams and the screenwriter and actress Jenny Lumet, the daughter of the classic Sidney Lyumet. After the accusations made against Simmons, which he publicly rejected, he quickly moved to Bali - Indonesia does not give criminals to the United States.
I must say that the film turned out to be so sharp that one of its creators, Oprah Winfrey, refused to mention the credits before going on rental.
"Army Plus"
Luisa Detlefsen, Luisa UNMAK HELDEN
About conflicting relations with your body
Being Tolstoy is like in war. This is a daily choice. To suffer, look in the mirror, dreaming of unattainable canons and sizes. Or chew from morning to night, wrapped in depression. Or look for a partner by trouble. Or send to hell with a world dictating canons. To say to the mirror: “Everything is with me. I will wear what I want and love: bikini, transparent blouses. I will dance in front of the camera. Post photos on the network. Fall in love. I will live to the fullest. ”
“Army Plus” is an energy drink for uncertain samoyeds and samoyed. Mix, but do not shake. Frank interviews with Helen’s Dange, two Norwegians (29 years old and 31 years old) and 21-year-old Polina from Sweden. How to resist public pressure and dictatorship norms? How to find loved ones in spirit? How to change words?
To begin with, at least find an alternative to the word "fat".
For example, replace it with “seductive”, “magnificent”. And step by step to learn not to hate yourself - to accept yourself in your body.
Stop putting on the clothes for a while “when I lose weight”, put off desires and actions. And to become, for example, a plus-mayo model or open a second-hand with large clothes. Down with the scales! Let them control and manipulate someone else.
The camera is so close that it seems that you yourself try on this big body, you learn to be friends with it.
"Nishtyak, brother!"

How the frog Trump helped, and the memes moved the policy
This fascinating and unpredictable Odyssey has been going on for 15 years.
In 2005, the artist Matt Fourier drew a comic book to himself and his comrades, who lived carefree after the university in the same house. Among them, a cheerful and broken character was closed - a luplable guboshp, a frog of Pepe, who loved to repeat: “Nishtyak, brother!”
After about 10 years, Fourier, like Frankenstein, was horrified by the creation that jumped out from under his pencil. Pepe has become a world famous Internet meme.
And he soon turned into a symbol of hatred, the icon of white nationalism, he was appropriated by alternative right (alt-raight), he turned out to be a favorite troll meme from the 4Chan forum.
Everyone allowed the green amphibian: to control the board rushing at the 9/11 twin tower, to wear a fascist cap, to cut the heads of prisoners in the clothes of Islamic militants. Stop. Is it funny to anyone?
Guboshp becomes a companion and ally of Trump in the election campaign. Trump sends on Twitter an image of himself in the image of Pepe and immediately gains frenzied popularity on the Internet.
At some point, Fourier thinks: if you can’t kill the mockingbird, can it be re-educated? Return the uncontrollable frog, so to speak, humanity? This movie is also about the fact that memes today are becoming serious politician tools.
The program "outside the game"
Curator Yuri Saprykin
Films about people and communities who voluntarily settled from the ship of modernity, living in parallel to trends that have not entered the mainstream. Each of them found refuge, a profession, a social niche that allows you to remain itself - contrary to what modern culture and society require them. Among them are New York Bukinists and bibliophiles, the group of Michael Jira Swans-the pioneers of industrial rock, the authoritarian sect of the warriors.
The program "Gala Primerians" contains festival hits that continue to form an actual cultural agenda:
"In the pursuit of Banksy" - about the myth of the main street artist of the planet,
"Maiden" is the story of the legendary Yachtsman team,
“On the waves: the art of sound in the cinema” is the sound evolution of Hollywood.
"Says Trumen Kapote"
EBS Bernou
Incorrect head of one interrupted life
The director makes an immersion in the frantic world of the writer. It would be more correct to say, in the worlds of the hood. The story circles around a series of recorded and first published interviews, which the famous journalist George Plimpton took from “friends, enemies, acquaintances and bullets” of Kapota. Hundreds of previously unprecedented photographs and home films also find life behind the scenes.
The ghostly voyeur, the “horizontal writer”, as he called himself, died in 1984 at the age of 59, having spent the last 18 years of his life in the long Ekh of his glory. Trying to complete another imperishable book - a saga about the chosen society “Prayers heard ” . Around this manuscript (begun back in 1958), which is either lost, but most likely, so many rumors and omissions. But in the remaining fragments there is a brilliant syllable, a sharp, cynical, ruthless feather, grabbing the world of American bohemia out of oblivion.
The film itself is arranged as the last unfinished head of life, in which there is an effort to understand why the author did not end the novel that could become the top of his career.
The hopes that the once missing manuscript will nevertheless come up and will appear to the world is melting every year. And in the era of social networks, secrets of private life no longer exist. Well, maybe only in a novel that dissolved in the lost time.
