In 2018 the second edition of the Mr. Leather Brazil competition happens.

　　What could the fate of the Villa Empain, Baron Empain’s crazy project in Brussels, which has gone through a long and eventful journey since its completion in 1934, possibly inspire? Katharina Kastner’s challenge was to draw the portrait of the place, keeping in mind the work of time, like in a human existence. Shot in 16mm, her film appeals to the senses, it captures the stirring of leaves undulating in the garden light, the movement of iridescent pearls, or the colourful games of
a piece by Daniel Buren. Without a word, but with a caressing camera, she pays close attention to the hidden patterns on the gorgeous marbles, or to the veins in the most precious types of wood used to decorate the rooms. In slight touches, regardless of the monumental aspect of the 27.000 square-feet villa and the pool that so impressed its first visitors, Katharina Kastner o ers an organic vision of the place, which has been marked by the trials and tribulations of life, and used successively as a museum, an embassy and a squat, until its final renovation. The clever editing makes furtive connections, underlines colour associations, mixes up times and tactile sensations, while the spaces we explore keep rustling. The film takes us on a reminiscing journey, with slices of Empain’s life, from the family archive here on a holiday, there playing on the beach, images from a distant past that keep haunting the premises. The film reveals to us this living space that was designed like a piece of art, but it does so in a wandering way. This dream vision guides us through the villa like an echo of foregone fantasies, a mental space, but also a welcoming backdrop for the work of time. A bit like the fingerprint work we see in the film, or the slight touch of a pencil on a blank sheet.

　　柏林电影节全景单元

　　为了躲避目前对医院的空袭和造成许多受害者死亡的化学武器攻击，叙利亚的一些医务人员被迫建立隐藏的地下医院，以挽救病人的生命，避免医务人员和设备的损失。大马士革的Alghouta发生了几起化学武器袭击事件，那里的工作人员建立了一个地下避难所，名为“洞穴”。Amani博士和她的同事Alaa博士、护士Samaher以及其他18名妇女被选为医院的常务董事，医院共有80名员工。他们每天都面临死亡，因为他们试图拯救他们城镇的人民的生命，并隔离和加强医院以防止进一步的攻击。

　　苏利曼和“苏丹电影俱乐部”的另外三名成员决定重振一家旧电影院。他们不仅因为对电影的热爱和对恢复旧电影存量、再次关注苏丹电影历史的强烈渴望而团结在一起，而且因为他们都曾在流放中接受过电影教育。不知疲倦地，他们试图让影院老板站在他们一边，让这个地方重新运作起来，但他们一再发现自己遭到了相当大的阻力。同时，他们坐在一起谈论过去——包括他们作为对立艺术家遭受迫害甚至折磨的经历。他们还朗读流亡和梦想苏丹时写的旧信，在那里艺术和智力思想可以自由。“我们比他们聪明，但不如他们强大，”他们一致总结了他们的处境。正是在这些简洁的时刻，观众才能够感知到友谊，以及在为共同理想而斗争中存在的纽带和意识形态的团结。

　　Suliman and three further members of the ‘Sudanese Film Club’ have decided to revive an old cinema. They are united not only by their love of cinema and their passionate desire to restore old film stock and draw attention to Sudanese film history once more, but also by the fact that they have all enjoyed a film education in exile. Tirelessly, they try to get the cinema’s owners on their side and make the place operational again, but repeatedly find themselves up against considerable resistance. In the meantime, they sit together and talk about the past – including their experiences of persecution and even torture as oppositional artists. They also read out old letters written while in exile and dream of a Sudan in which art and intellectual thought can be free. ‘We are smarter than them, but not as strong,’ is how they unanimously summarise their situation. It is in laconic moments such as these that the viewer is able to perceive the friendship, as well as the bond and ideological solidarity that exists in the struggle for common ideals.

　　For two years BBC cameras have followed, Dr Sheperd Doeleman of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the work of the Event Horizon Telescope project team, a collective of the top scientific minds from around the world. The project combines radio observatories and telescope facilities from around the world to make up a virtual telescope with a diameter spanning the entire planet. This mega-telescope’s ultimate mission is to capture the first image ever of a black hole. Although the concept of black holes has been long assumed to be fact, the Event Horizon Telescope’s success would definitively prove the existence of this scientific phenomena for the first time – and provide clear visual evidence.
　　The programme brings viewers into the laboratories, behind the computer screens and beside the telescopes of what may prove to be one of the great astrophysical achievements in human history.
