Monks - The Transatlantic Feedback
Monks - The Transatlantic Feedback
The monks were 5 American GIs in cold war Germany who billed themselves as the anti-Beatles; they were heavy on feedback, nihilism and electrical banjo. They had strange haircuts, dressed in black, mocked the military and rocked harder than any of their mid-sixties counterparts while managing to basically invent industrial, kraut rock, heavy metal, punk and techno music.

Who Is Vermin Supreme? An Outsider Odyssey
Vermin Supreme is no ordinary presidential candidate. Promising a free pony for every American, a fully funded time travel research program, and unprecedented zombie preparedness initiatives for a new American Republic, he truly is the people's candidate and the friendly fascist par excellence. "Who Is Vermin Supreme? An Outsider Odyssey" follows Vermin Supreme's raucous 2012 campaign from the Rainbow Gathering in the the Cherokee National Forest to the Democratic and Republican National Conventions to Occupy Wall Street protests, and all the way to heart of the American Empire in Washington, DC. From the unsettling gravitas of marauding riot police to the unbridled joy of songs sung for police officers and pranks played on anti-abortion fanatics, "Who Is Vermin Supreme?" is certain to show you America as you've never seen it before.

28th STOCKHOLM INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL. DAY 3, NOV 10th 2017. Nordic premiere.For all its good intentions and incredibly important subject and message, the film fails on the most basic level: it doesn't engage.At age 80, iconic, legendary British actress Vanessa Redgrave visited Stockholm International Film Festival on November 10th to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award and to take part in the Face-to-face session for her directorial debut: documentary "Sea Sorrow" (2017). The face-to-face was lovely and amazingly entertaining with Redgrave's great intelligence and wit. Sadly, the film was not.
