A Boy and his Atom

"The ability to move single atoms, one of the smallest particles of any element in the universe, is crucial to IBM's research in the field of atomic-scale memory. In 2012, IBM scientists announced the creation of the world's smallest magnetic memory bit, made of just 12 atoms. This breakthrough could transform computing by providing the world with devices that have access to unprecedented levels of data storage. But even nanophysicists need to have a little fun. In that spirit, the scientists moved atoms by using their scanning tunneling microscope to make … a movie, which has been verified by Guinness World Records™ as The World’s Smallest Stop-Motion Film."

Unforgetable 3D Movies

Remember those? No? Not surprising, as the 3D movie craze did not last long and what was supposed to be “a new era” turned out to be a flash in the pan.

When the Lumière brothers showed one of the first films in history (in january 1896) there was a panic as the public felt they would be crushed by the train.

Later came the sound, the color and finally the panoramic screens.

Since then quite a few inventions appeared, expected to be a next step but none succeeded...

By re-introducing the 3D films, the movie industry expected to create or, more accurately, restore a new interest.

But the 3D films are prosthetic and the effect is there to compensate a complete lack of contents.

Whatever might be offered to the viewers, movies keep spectators in a state of total passivity and, as such, cannot compete with the sole true changement in media: inter-activity.

At the end of the 19th century, the Lumière brothers, albeit inventors of Cinematography, did not expect much impact out of it and thought it would not get farther than a luna-park attraction...

Lili Marleen

Director: Rainer Werner Fassbinder

Main actress: Hanna Schygulla (Lale Andersen)

Theme song: Lili Marleen from a poem by Hans Leip "Lied eines jungen Wachpostens" (1915)

Music by Rudolf Zink.

Amazing true story of a song which, beyond the stupidity and abomination of the 2nd World War, became an hymn on both sides, all over Europe and further, for all those hoping absurdity will end soon.

Eventually, right after the war, Marlene Dietrich will record her version which remains the most known and probably the best one.

90-year-old man recounts a remarkable experience he had in WWII.

Jean-Luc Godard: Some comment on the Movie Industry

Jean-Luc Godard: ( translation)

"We sometimes forget that cinema is people investing money and investing ideas, their heart."

"The actors invest their bodies in any case, the heart comes, comes later."

"One has  seldom seen a lot of technicians  investing in production, excuse me."

"Rarely has a lot of technicians invented equipment:  the Nagra was not  invented by a sound engineer."

"It's not you who invented the Arriflex."

"You don't even know who invented the Arriflex and why."

"You want me to tell you?"

"It was Hitler who invented the Arriflex in order to follow the armies quickly."

"This is why you have a light camera."
