This incredible, one-of-a-kind auto is the Infiniti Prototype 9 concept car, an electric concept that pays homage to the design of the pre-war era. It went on display at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance car event in California last weekend. The prototype, which infuses the aesthetic of a 1940s race with ultra-sleek modern design and technology, can reach up to 140 miles per hour, and ran its first race on Wednesday.
Conceived by the legendary Italian producer Alfredo Bini, the multi-director portmanteau film Let's Wash Our Brains: RoGoPaG [Laviamoci il cervello: RoGoPaG] brought together four giants of European cinema to contribute comic episodes reflective of the swinging post-"boom" era. The resulting omnibus collectively examines social anxieties around sex, nuclear war, religion, urbanisation -- and the promise of a modern cinema. Roberto Rossellini's Illibatezza [Virginity] follows an airline stewardess plagued by an obsessed American tourist whose 8mm camera enables the indulgence of a personal, and solipsistic, vision of the Ideal. Jean-Luc Godard's Il nuovo mondo [The New World] takes place in an Italian-dubbed Paris beset by nuclear fallout, and wittily chronicles the changes that take place in the lives -- and medicine cabinet -- of a handsome young couple. Pier Paolo Pasolini's scandalous La ricotta [Ricotta, as in the curded cheese] presents the goings-on around a film shoot devoted to the Crucifixion and presided over by none other than Orson Welles (playing a kind of stand-in for Pasolini himself); it is this episode that landed Pasolini with a suspended four-month prison sentence. Lastly, Ugo Gregoretti's Il pollo ruspante [Free-Range Chicken] depicts a middle-class Milanese family flirting with the purchase of real-estate and engaging catastrophically with an antagonistic consumerist infrastructure. Let's Wash Our Brains: RoGoPaG remains one of the definitive entries of the Sixties vogue for the multi-auteur anthology film, and The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present it for the very first time anywhere in the world on Blu-ray, in a Dual Format (Blu-ray + DVD) edition, released on 27 August 2012.

Belgrade, Jul 2 (EFE / EPA) .- (Camera: Andrej Cukic) Art against negationism and oblivion. Just before the 25th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre, an artist has transformed Ratko Mladic's war journal - the military leader convicted of genocide for the massacre - into an artwork against war.Four hundred pages of the Bosnian war journal (1992-95) of the former Bosnian Serb commander have been carefully recreated with ink drawings by Serbian artist Vladimir Miladinovic, which displays them in Belgrade until July 29 in an exhibition titled "Diary".FOOTAGE OF THE WORK.SOUNDBITES OF ARTIST VLADIMIR MILADINOVIC.Translation: -What I’m doing is dealing with some kind of reviving the documents that already served its purpose and what intrigues me is the possible potential of the remains in a different field of modern visual art-So, throughout the diary one can actually recognize that very disciplined military language of JNA (Yugoslav people's army) trained staff which speaks a lot about the attention the socialist Yugoslavia schooled its staff that were later to be a part of its own toppling.-My deep belief is that art can actually, in not anything else, show the things that happened in the past and make it possible for us to move to better relationships in the present and the future.-Actually the material is in front of us, but the question is are we capable of facing the material.
Welcome to the Cultybraggan Camp in Perthshire, a place where Nazi German soldiers and officers would be held afterbeing captured during the Second World War. Believe it or not, the Comrie community revealed plans to renovate ten of the huts into a four star hotel. The former category A camp, built in 1941, held 4,000 high security German prisoners-of-war between 1944 and 1948. It is reportedly the last of its kind to be preserved in the UK and Europe. A trust bought the site from the UK Ministry of Defence in 2005 and has since given permission to local businesses to take over the huts. Now, this former war-time prison is going to be transformed in a luxurious accommodation to pull in the tourists. would you ever stay in the same place as former Nazi prisoners of war?
Brussels (Belgium), 5 Oct (EFE), (Camera: Leo Rodriguez).- Belgian artist Delphine Boël, born of an extramarital relationship with King Albert II and who since last Thursday was officially designated as Princess of Belgium, was willing this Monday to use the surname of her father, from Saxony-Coburg-Gotha, for charitable purposes. FOOTAGE FROM THE PRESS CONFERENCE IN BRUSSELS (BELGIUM) OF THE BELGIAN ARTIST DELPHINE BÖEL, BIOLOGICAL DAUGHTER OF KING EMERITUS ALBERT II, AND SOUNDBITES IN ENGLISH AND FRENCH OF THE ARTIST Delphine Böel, Belgian artist and biological daughter of the King Emeritus Albert II 1.- "I will continue as before, I will continue my artistic profession. The difference is how I feel inside. When justice gave me the reason, it really relieved me because it means that all these years were not crazy, it was for good values, for the right reasons and the reason was given to me. I will be the same, but inside I will feel much better, much happier, much freer, and for my children too."2- "The hardest thing has been, perhaps, waiting. It's like being on a battlefield all the time, it's like being in a war a little bit. For me to go to court to be recognized by my own blood and my father has been something very unnatural and I consider myself a fairly natural person. I think it's a kind of unnatural life that I was living, that was very painful."3.- "They tried to write to him often but I told them they would not get an answer. I'm not going to tell them to write to him, I don't want them to be disappointed. We continue with our life and to grow together. In the future we will see what happens."4 .- "If you invite me in a kind way and welcoming me I would be delighted. But it would have to be because they want to, not because they have to."
