The enigmatic and elusive filmmaker Stanley Kubrick has not been treated to a full-length biography in over twenty years. <i>Stanley Kubrick: An Odyssey</i> fills that gap. It is based on access to the latest research, especially into his archive at the University of the Arts, London, and other papers as well as new interviews with family members and those who worked with him. It offers comprehensive and in-depth coverage of Kubrick's personal, private, public, and working life. We discuss not only the making of his films, but also about those he wanted but failed to make like <i>Burning Secret</i>, <i>Napoleon</i>, <i>Aryan Papers</i>, and <i>A.I.</i> We discover what he was doing when he was not making films. This biography will puncture a few myths about this allegedly reclusive filmmaker, who created some of the most important works of art of the twentieth century

1992 was an important year for the Kurdish people. An autonomous Kurdish republic was established in Iraqi territory and the first free elections were held in Kurdistan. Since then the Kurds have been involved in building their own state based on democratic principles.<br/><br/>Historically the Kurds have been denied their reights as a people and have been targets for the cruel massacres, torture and attempts at extermination. They constitute the largest ethnic population approx. 40 million people in the world, which is deprived of any political status, despite the fact that Kurdistan geographically is a clearly defined area. Their land is essentially divided politically between Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria.<br/><br/>Lately we have seen positive developments even in the Turkish part of Kurdistan. It has become more accepted to talk of the Kurds as a separate ethnic group. A new TV channel started broadcasting in Kurdish in 2009, and at the official launch of the channel Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan began his speech in Kurdish.<br/><br/>Georg Kristiansen is a photographer. He visited Kurdistan for the first time in 1975, and ever since he has followed the development of the area through his camera lens. He has met survivors from the attacks with chemical weapons in Halabja, he has met Kurds who over and over again have been forced to witness the destruction of their home villages and he has at first hand also experienced their joy of freedom after the liberation from the terror regime of Saddam Hussein.<br/><br/>Georg Kristiansen focuses on the progress of the autonomous region of Kurdistan in Iraq, but he also depicts other parts of Kurdistan. In addition, Jamal Alemdar, the representative for KDP in Europe 1971-1976, and other Kurds have contributed with their own texts.

On June 11, 2013 a federal bill prohibiting minors from being informed about non-traditional sexual relationships was approved after its third reading in the Russian State Duma. Meanwhile, a group of people for whom the new law could have severe consequences arrived at a women´s camp on a remote island. This book comprises a photographic series by Annica Karlsson Rixon depicting the affinity between the women at the camp, but also a sense of underlying threat. Insider perspectives of the situation for queer women in Russia are provided through texts and interviews with activists and academics. Jack Halberstam introduces the text section of the book, and lawyer Dmitri Bartenev outlines the new legislation. Karlsson Rixon is a visual artist and researcher. At the Time of the Third Reading is part of her PhD thesis at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden.

Curtain Callers by Ann-Sofi Sidén and Jonathan Bepler Entering the role, the stage, the theater house. Setting the scene. The actress smoking nervously before the curtain is lifted or is she acting nervous? Curtain Callers studies the machinations of the theater closely and affords the viewer an unobstructed view into institutional theater s every nook and cranny, weaving together and pursuing different themes. Life behind the curtain, the existing, monotonous, clattering, constantly repeating, nervous, insistent life that drives the meeting between stage and audience. The machine that is institutional theater makes an entrance. In all arenas of the theater, events and processes take place that are like cogs in the huge story-making machinery. A woman in a headscarf and her vacuum cleaner frenetically pick their way through the many rows of seats. Far away in a gilded room bottles are being removed. As if cleaning up after a party. While fingers fasten hair strand by strand into a wig, the corridors, the stage and the antechambers vibrate with expectation. The audience powder their noses in the restrooms and the actors, voice-training for their roles, in their dressing rooms. Curtain Callers portrays the processes before the charged moment when audience and actor meet. How they, in a quasi-ritualistic way prepare for the encounter with each other. The actors and the audience s spaces are interspersed with stories: written, private and perhaps only rumored. The theater is a never-ending chain of beginnings and endings that reflects humanity s double-edged existence. The artist Ann-Sofi Sidén and the composer Jonathan Bepler spent half a year observing the work and processes behind the scenes at the Royal Dramatic Theater in Stockholm. They invited six hundred choir singers who were then directed to play the role of the audience. By staging and directing them the audience s participatory role in the theater machine is deepened and emphasized. Parallel to the film Curtain Callers, Ann-Sofi Sidén created the video installation Curtain Callers (Entracte), a five-channel video installation in a semi-circular format with surround sound by Jonathan Bepler. According to the artist herself, the two versions are of great importance to each other. The one takes over where the other ends, says Ann-Sofi Sidén. The title Curtain Callers came about late in the process and refers to the loaded moment at the end of a performance when the actors are applauded and step out from behind the curtain, the artist explains, adding that the term, like the moment itself, is full of built-in ambiguity about who it is that is the main attraction is it the actor, director, make-up artist, tailor or even the audience? Who is thanking whom? In the book Curtain Callers (Art and Theory, 2012) a new version of the project is created, translating Ann-Sofi Sidén s characteristic narrative technique from film to stills and text. Here the artwork itself makes an appearance in the form of the narrative voice, Curt, in Jörg Heiser s text, as an answer to the narrative flow of the film. The book contains a text by Ann-Sofi Sidén and an interview conducted by Magdalena Malm with Ann-Sofi Sidén and Jonathan Bepler.
