  6. One of the best summaries of what went wrong with #US #Healthcare. No longer available from the PBS website(s) as far as I can tell. So I've taken the liberty of writing a review and posting it here with links to the original #video.

    "Sick Around the World" (2008 #PBS #Frontline #Documentary)

    Conclusions...

    1) #Insurance companies must accept everyone, and cannot make a profit on basic care.
    2) #Everybody is mandated to buy insurance, with government paying the premiums for the poor.
    3) #Doctors and #Hospitals have to accept one standard set of fixed prices.

  8. Film Lecture: The Cinematic Ghosts Of 9/11

    LAB111, Friday, September 18 at 07:30 PM GMT+2

    FILM LECTURE:

    THE CINEMATIC GHOSTS OF 9/11

    In this 45-minute interactive lecture, film critic and lecturer Hugo Emmerzael traces how 9/11 reshaped cinema and public consciousness. Looking at everything from Hollywood blockbusters and obscure world cinema to documentaries and conspiracy films, he explores how the attacks became a new form of American mythmaking — and how the political anxieties surrounding them continue to haunt cinema today.

    The 9/11 attacks unfolded at the dawn of a new media landscape, as consumer cameras, 24-hour news and online video transformed a historic tragedy into an unprecedented media spectacle. Its impact on cinema was immediate: Hollywood digitally erased the Twin Towers from films, while the industry turned towards a new era of war and terror, helping shape the cultural narrative around America’s “War on Terror.”

    Drawing on film history, critical theory and the work of filmmakers, Hugo also looks beyond 9/11 itself to examine the political and cultural forces that were already shaping American cinema before the attacks.

    Please note that this lecture will be presented in English.

  12. Uitkijk x Simulacrum: HyperNormalisation

    De Uitkijk, Thursday, September 10 at 08:30 PM GMT+2

    This September Simulacrum Magazine returns to De Uitkijk to celebrate the launch of “Little man, what now?” Join us for a very special screening of Adam Curtis’ 2016 documentary HyperNormalisation, celebratory drinks, and, of course, a first look at Simalcrum’s latest issue.

    British filmmaker Adam Curtis is one of the most admired thinkers of our time. Drawing on the rich BBC archive, he creates in-depth explorations of our current political and economic society.

    In his 2016 essay film HyperNormalisation, Curtis examines how governments, financiers, and technological utopians have replaced the complexity of the real world with a much simpler fake world. He traces the origins of this technique of manipulation to the Soviet Union in the 1970s, where the system was slowly falling apart, but where it proved easier to pretend that everything was fine. Curtis describes how this technique of “hypernormalisation” played an essential role in the rise of Muammar Gaddafi, Bashar al-Assad, Vladimir Putin, and Donald Trump.

    Simulacrum is a quarterly thematic magazine that reflects on arts and culture, and serves as a high-quality publication platform for students and experts from the field. The subjects are always approached from different disciplines which relate to arts and culture, and placed in both historical and contemporary perspective.

    • Language: English
    • Duration: 167 mins.
    • Director: Adam Curtis
    • Cast: Adam Curtis, Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump
    • Year: 2016
    • Country: United Kingdom
