科索沃是南联盟所辖塞尔维亚共和国的一个省，90％以上是阿尔巴尼族，其余是塞尔维亚族、黑山族等。由于历史原因，科索沃的塞、阿两族长期不和，阿族要求建立科索沃共和国，并谋求从南联盟分离出去。而塞族则将科索沃视为自己民族历史和文化的摇篮，不愿放弃那里的一寸土地。阿塞两族针锋相对，互不让步。科索沃的民族矛盾正好被以美国为首的北约所利用。1999年1月，美国以武力强迫科索沃冲突双方依美国的方案到法国的朗布依埃进行谈判。谈判中，南联盟表示其他条款均可接受，只有北约军队进驻科索沃这一涉及南领土主权的条款不能接受。谈判最终破裂，北约于是迫不及待地对南联盟动武。3月24日，北约以保护人权之名，对南联盟发动了代号为盟军的空袭行动，将南联盟拖入战争的深渊。

Confronting half of her mother’s life—her mother who had survived the Jeju April 3 Incident—the director tries to scoop out disappearing memories. A tale of family, which carries on from Dear Pyongyang (YIDFF 2005), carving out the cruelty of history, and questioning the precarious existence of the nation-state.

電影《變態者意識形態指南》是由斯洛文尼亞的哲學家、拉康精神分析專家斯拉沃熱‧齊澤克編寫劇本及主演、由蘇菲‧費因斯(Sophie Fiennes)執導。如齊澤克的另一部《變態者電影指南》一樣，它透過穿梭於著名的電影場景之間來勾勒出一個理解藝術和世界的精神分析理論框架，是某種意義下一部「紀錄片」。

In Ancient Rus, where there is modern technology - from cybernetic implants and plasma weapons to exoskeletons and giant robots, a half-blood hero named Cyberslav is trying to unravel a cruel crime in order to find out who the princely family interfered with - the embittered people or the evil spirits that flooded the local forests.

What is a revolutionary? The writings of Marx and Engels both use the metaphor of revolution as the "locomotive of history". Is, then, the revolutionary a standard bearer of progress, a pace setter, a frontrunner? 　　None of the above, because in a world ruled by a turbo "devaluation" where only the new has market value, where commodity production spirals out of control, the "train of time" is a deadly trend. Alexander Kluge instead opts for Walter Benjamin's idea of the revolution as mankind "pulling the emergency brake". We must hold up the torch of reason to the problems at hand, and the true revolutionary is therefore the one who can unite future and past, merging two times, two societies, the artist who montages stories and history. And so we come to Alexander Kluge and his art. 　　Kluge's monumental "News from Ideological Antiquity. Marx – Eisenstein – Das Kapital" is a 570-minute film available only on DVD which is based on the work of two other montage artists, James Joyce and Sergei Eisenstein. These two met in 1929 to discuss filming Marx's "Kapital" which had been written 60 years beforehand. Now, eighty years on, Alexander Kluge joins the party and takes up where Eisenstein failed, because neither Hollywood's capitalists nor Moscow's Communists were prepared to send the necessary funds his way. 　　Most of the film consists of involved discussions between Alexander Kluge and other Marx-savvy writers and artists. Poet and essayist Hans Magnus Enzensberger compares the soul of man with the soul of money, author Dietmar Dath explains the meaning of the hammer and sickle on the Soviet flag and, from the standpoint of the Stoics, leaps (rather than marches at an orderly pace) into industrialisation, the actress Sophie Rois makes an impassioned appeal for Medea, differentiating between additive and subtractive love, filmmaker Werner Schroeter stages a Wagner opera featuring the "rebirth of Tristan in the spirit of battleship Potemkin", philosopher Peter Sloterdijk talks about Ovid and the metamorphosis of added value, a man at the piano analyses the score of a strike song while workers and factory owners face off in an opera by Luigi Nono, the poet Dürs Grünbein interprets Bert Brecht's aesthetisation of the Communist manifesto in swinging oceanic hexameter, cultural scientist Rainer Stollmann emphasises the myriad meanings of Marx's writings as science, art, story telling, philosophy, poetry. And social theorist and philosopher Oskar Negt looks sceptical when asked whether it's possible to find the right images for all this stuff when you're less interested in pedagogical content than the encompassing theory. 　　Scholarly stuff, wide and deep in scope, yet bold and playful. But even if your own study of Marx is no more than a faded memory, it is hugely enjoyable to watch and listen to these experts as their "thinking gradually deepens through talking" and to watch Kluge interject, hopping adroitly from one thought to the next, surprising his interlocutors, catching them off balance, sending them off on new trajectories. We never know how much agreement and variance is hidden in Kluge's objections. His a Socratic approach to questioning, curious, open to everything, and so wonderfully subtle that at the end always find yourself wondering whether he had been driving at a particular target all along. Alexander Kluge is a great manipulator, an industrious loom, who weaves the most far-flung observations into his system. 　　He is not filming "Das Kapital" but researching how one might find images to make Marx's book filmable. The quest is the way is the destination. The model for his underlying structure is Joyce's "Ulysses" where the entire history of the world is packed into a day in the life of his hero, Bloom. In Kluge's hands this becomes a collage of documentary, essayistic and fictional scenes, interviews and still photos, archive images of smoking factory chimneys, time-lapse footage of pounding machines and mountains of products, diary entries and blackboards scribbled with quotes referencing constructivism and concrete poetry. 　　Coincidences, collisions. Back to back with a short film in which director Tom Tykwer stirs things up in a Berlin street, two readers struggle to recite the following sentence, slipping in and out of synch with increasing desperation: "Whenever real, corporeal man, man with his feet firmly on the solid ground, man exhaling and inhaling all the forces of nature, posits his real, objective essential powers as alien objects by his externalisation, it is not the act of positing which is the subject in this process: it is the subjectivity of objective essential powers, whose action, therefore, must also be something objective." 　　No sooner are we shown "how the history of industry and the established objective existence of industry are the open book of man's essential powers, the perceptibly existing human psychology" than we have the history of capitalism is explained to us as a giant extension of the fairytale about the devil with the three golden hairs – every thing is a human being being cast under a spell. And the beginning of Mae West's film career runs parallel to the leap into industrialisation – a form of aesthetic slapstick in which not cream pies fly through the air but ideas and concepts. 　　Unlike Eisenstein, who was driven to desperation by the herculean task of cutting the 29 hours of "October" into a 90-minute film version and turned to drugs into the process which left him temporarily blind, Kluge cooly sticks to his guns and his nine hours. And it's not a minute too long. 　　(This article was originally published in Tagesspiegel on 8 January 2009. Helmut Merker is a film critic.)

This is a two part Slovenian documentary on the Yugoslav Wars 1991-1999. It uses extensive archive footage from Slovenian terrestrial TV. Having watched every documentary I can find on this subject I can say that much of the footage contained in this documentary is unique to it, at least from a Western European audience's standpoint. As such this is an excellent documentary for those with an interest in the fall of Yugoslavia, or those looking for an account of the wars from a Slovenian perspective. 　　As this is a war documentary be prepared for some violent/disturbing scenes. Above all of the other documentaries covering the Yugoslav wars I think that this one has some particularly gruesome images, corpses with gunshot wounds to the head, etc. The usual war footage I see on satellite TV news, rarely if ever shows such things, or when they are shown this is done so quickly, this is not the case here. I found that this does two things, firstly it hammers home the brutality of war. Secondly it illustrates the 'glossing over' of the reality of war by much of the global (or at least Western, from my own experience) media, where scenes of intense, real life violence are perhaps too difficult to swallow with an evening meal. That said, please note that this documentary is almost two hours long and these violent scenes only take up small parts of it.
