Here the subject of fetishism in clothing - rubber, latex, leather - is explored. The full film features Malcolm McLaren, manager of the Sex Pistols at the time at SEX, the boutique he ran with Vivien Westwood on the Kings Road. Central to the film is a magnificent studio set constructed mainly by Samson himself in the shape of the fetishist magazine Atomage with actual turning pages all populated by these amazing characters, dressed in thigh length leather boots and chains. The film was banned at the time by London Weekend Television, and has become one of those rare films more quoted than seen. Again, using revealing interviews on the motivation behind the protagonists' choices, Dressing for Pleasure won Outstanding Film Award at the London Film Festival that year. Recently it has toured the world as part of the Vivienne Westwood exhibition and has been an inspiration for many other films including Julian Temple's The Filth and the Fury (2000).

U jednom intervjuu rekli ste da se ovaj film uklapa u specifičan stil sjevernokorejskog filma. Što to znači, kakav je to stil?

NICHOLAS BONNER: Ja bih to nazvao retro. Način na koji se služe kamerom, puno krupnih planova, gluma... Nismo htjeli utjecati na takve stvari jer smo htjeli da izgleda kao sjevernokorejski film, a ne kao mješavina sjevernokorejskog i europskog filma. Tako da smo se u postprodukciji posebno posvetili očuvanju stila.

RYOM MI HWA: Priča je u osnovi ista kao i u svim sjevernokorejskim filmovima, ali svi su jako zadovoljni time kako je ispao u tehničkom smislu. Puno je razvijeniji i napredniji kada su montaža i fotografija u pitanju.

NICHOLAS BONNER: U Sjevernoj Koreji ljudi su mi govorili da je ovaj film blizak stvarnom životu jer su po prvi put vidjeli film sa sinkroniziranim zvukom. Postprodukcija je trajala čak dvije godine i ovo je prvi sjevernokorejski film za koji je postprodukcija rađena izvan Sjeverne Koreje. Vjerujte, nije bilo jednostavno dobiti role filma i dopuštenje da ih stavimo u zrakoplov od Pjongjanga do Pekinga. Ovo je prvi put da jedan sjevernokorejski film ima digitalnu montažu.

China has made an extraordinary journey along the road back to greatness. Hundreds of millions have lifted themselves out of poverty, hundreds of millions more have joined the new middle class. It is on the verge of reclaiming what it sees as its rightful position in the world. China’s global influence is expanding and within a decade its economy is expected to overtake America’s. In his first weeks in power, the new head of the ruling Communist Party, Xi Jinping, has evoked that rise with a new slogan which he is using, as belief in Marxism dies, to unite an increasingly diverse nation. He calls his new doctrine the “Chinese dream” evoking its American equivalent. Such slogans matter enormously in China. News bulletins are full of his dream. Schools organise speaking competitions about it. A talent show on television is looking for “The Voice of the Chinese Dream”.

Već dugo nisam naišao na neki dobar novi UFO konspirasi. Evo konačno novi hit! :)

Video testimony by an anonymous alleged former CIA official was shown at the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure at the National Press Club in Washington, DC on Friday, May 3. UFO author and historian Richard Dolan interviewed "Anonymous" on March 5, 2013. Facing impending kidney failure, this individual felt compelled to disclose secret information he feels is too important to keep secret. In the video, he claims to have served in the U.S. Army, worked for the CIA, and worked on the U.S. Air Force's Project Blue Book--one of the USAF's official studies of UFOs. And he refers to the project as "partially a fraud." Asking for clarification, Dolan states, "You're saying some of the Blue Book cases were completely fictitious?" The anonymous man responds, "Yes."
"Anonymous" alleges that, after an invasion threat from President Dwight Eisenhower, he and his superior at the CIA were allowed inside the secretive Area 51 in Nevada to gather intel and report back to the president. There, "Anonymous" describes seeing several alien spacecraft, including the craft that crashed in Roswell, New Mexico. Then, he and his superior were taken to the S-4 facility southwest of Area 51 where they observed live extraterrestrials.

Ako je, kako to u svom remek-djelu 'Century Of Birthing' tvrdi filipinski genije Lav Diaz, film jedini način na koji čovječanstvo može sačuvati svoje sjećanje, onda je Chris Marker, redatelj koji se u svom igranom i dokumentarnom opusu više puta hrvao s motivima sjećanja, vlasnik istinski dragocjenog albuma pokretnih fotografija. Posebno ako imamo na umu da je živio 91 godinu, gotovo cijelo stoljeće čiji je dobar dio ispunio upravo svojim kreativnim radom – kako filmom, tako i kao pjesnik, pisac i fotograf.
Pogledate li, recimo, samo njegov 'Level 7', dobit ćete odličan uvid u to tko je i kako razmišlja Chris Marker – riječ je o filmu koji se predstavlja kao SF, mada pravovjerni fanovi žanra ovaj provokativni filozofski koktel nikada ne bi doživjeli kao takav; u ovom cjelovečernjem kolažu pionirska opsesija internetom susreće predavanje o japanskoj ulozi u Drugom svjetskom ratu, povijest, politiku, poeziju, intimu... Kako i priliči jednom aktivističkom arthouseu koji, iako nastao 1997, nastavlja s oružjem kojim se Marker služio od svojih početaka rada iza kamere.
