W.R. - Misterije organizma, directed by Dusan Makavejev.
"W.R." is pioneering sexologist Wilhelm Reich, whose precedent-breaking theories concerning carnal behavior and politics (including the invention of the orgone box) made him persona non grata in most psychoanalytic circles. By all accounts, Reich began his career brilliantly - as the next great successor to Freud and Jung; he then delved into extraordinarily controversial work that divided his critics, leading some to conclude that Reich had experienced a psychotic break from reality. Dusan Makavejev is the equally controversial Yugoslavian director fascinated by Reich's theories. This essay film by Makavejev - his first major work - constitutes a witty, free-form riff on the director's perception of Reichian philosophies as the basis of individual and collective sexual liberation. Makavejev elucidates the Reichian mindset via interviews with the doctor's relatives and colleagues (we even hear from Reich's barber!) Also illustrated is the ongoing conflict between the free-thinking disciples of W.R.'s sociopolitical attitudes and the adherents of sterile Stalinism. Over the course of the picture, Makavejev journeys to the U.S. and interviews such American sexual liberationists as Screw magazine editor Al Goldstein and Betty Dodson. Woven into the factual proceedings is a fictional plotline concerning the romance between Reich adherent Milena and uptight Soviet athlete Vladimir Ilyich. Though the film was never released in Makavejev's native Yugoslavia, WR: Mysteries of the Organism firmly established the iconoclastic filmmaker's international reputation.

Daisies, by Vera Chytilova (1966)
An exercise in avant-garde cinema that is freshly humorous and accessible, Daisies is a dark comedy that eschews a traditional narrative for a Dadaist construction of events. Perpetually dressed in vibrantly corresponding costumes and dark black eyeliner, Marie and Marie work together to create mischief. Seeing the world ruined and values worthless, they decide to "go bad." They stage various dinner dates with stale old men, eat and drink merrily while telling lies, and, in a fast-motion Chaplinesque bit of slapstick, they hop trains and lose the men. Always looking for new adventures, the girls get drunk at a nightclub and get kicked out in a grand physical comedy style. They sit around their apartment and destroy things with a deadpan whimsy, apathetic to the men professing their love. Pursuing adventure about town, the two Maries take a dumbwaiter up to a banquet hall and proceed to delightfully demolish it. Using both black-and-white and color film stock, the girls' antics are enhanced by innovative special effects and camera tricks by cinematographer Jaroslav Kucera. Historically a key film in the Czech New Wave movement, Daisies was banned and director Vera Chytilová was forbidden to work until 1975.

Messages from the Unseen - Lund Konsthall, has screened the documentary "Darwin's Nightmare" by Hubert Sauper in Malmo Art Academy. A lucid description of weapon transportation from Russia/Europe to Africa.
"I could make the same kind of movie in Sierra Leone, only the fish would be diamonds, in Honduras, bananas, and in Libya, Nigeria or Angola, crude oil."

Two indecision moments between tears and stupid smile:
(take a deep breath for what's next)
- "Don't worry, be happy!" - sings a framed plastic fish, beating its mechanical tail, in the office of fish company's manager.
- A certain point one of the workers from the same company turns a page of the calendar hunged in his working area and you read a slogan, on the August's page - "You are part of the system".

WELCOME TO MALMO
No dia 18 de Setembro aterrei em Malmo e durante seis meses cá estarei a realizar um "Exchange Program" na Malmö Art Academy. As actualizações a este blog serão escritas em sueco a partir desta data! Upgradem os vossos diccionários!!
Irei ao IKEA até ficar azul e amarela e metamorfosear-me numa feminista violenta de fogo na boca, com um piercing no umbigo, sem eira nem beira pelas ruas de Malmo. Também vou deixar de fumar. E vou ser razoavelmente saudável e comer cenouras ao lanche. Vou divertir-me imenso a andar de bicicleta. E vou ser baixinha. E não loura. Vou ser uma ave rara! Vou ser uma dragona!!
Parabéns Miss Suécia
The gorgeous babes in the town are my best friends!Sofia, Carolina, Teresa e Andréses.
