    Check In, Check It Out: Hauptschein And Martino On 'Country Of Hotels'

    Country of Hotels tells the stories of the desperate souls who pass through the doors of 508, a room on the fifth floor of an anonymous, decaying hotel. We are taken on a surreal and blackly comic journey down its lonely corridors and behind its out-dated furnishings and stained surfaces. The story plunges us into the ever-turning carousel of haunted lives who check in and check out of the establishment. Join us in a conversation with writer David Hauptschein and director Julio Maria Martino about their bizarre and surreal immersion.

  5. 'Being Lolita'- Author, Alisson Wood In Interview

    'Being Lolita'- Author, Alisson Wood In Interview

    “Lo. Lee. Ta. She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita.” Nabokov's 'Lolita'. Famous, infamous. Adored and abhorrent. Romanticised. Join us in a conversation with Alisson Wood, author of the memoir, 'Being Lolita'. This book serves as her debut work and is based on the autobiographical relationship between a seventeen-year-old Alisson and her English teacher. Idolisation, manipulation and cyclical abuse, this is a conversation about art, literature, harsh realities and a personal story. “There is a long history of loneliness in literature. Of loneliness as a prerequisite to love. Almost like you can’t really love someone unless you’ve been alone and loveless for a long time. At least, if you’re a woman. Almost as if this protracted alone time is a purification, prepares a girl to be worthy of a man’s love. Think of the Greek myths, the Odyssey—Calypso dancing sorcery alone on her island, Penelope waiting twenty years for her wandering husband to return. Think of our fairy tales, the stories we tell our daughters before we put them into bed: of Cinderella toiling in the dust before she can be fitted for those slippers, of Rapunzel living in a tower with only her long hair as silent company. And then her prince comes to rescue her. Nabokov said that all good stories are fairy tales. At seventeen, I was primed to be someone’s princess.” Excerpt From: Alisson Wood. “Being Lolita”.

    Everybody Flies: Academy Qualifier Captain Tristan Loraine

    "How safe is the air we breathe on a plane? Every day, 11 million people fly across the globe, unaware that the air in the cabin may contain dangerous toxins. For the past 18 years, Captain Tristan Loraine has been collecting evidence and testimonies from crew members and passengers who have suffered this unspoken consequence of flying." IMDB Join us in a conversation with Captain Tristan Loraine about the overlooked and under observed issues surrounding flight. Tristan flew for over 10,000 hours on a variety of commercial jet airliners such as the Locheed L-1011, Boeing 737, 757 and 767. His most memorable flights are his first solo and briefly flying Concorde across the Atlantic.
