Mit Lichtgeschwindigkeit zum Impfstoff - Das Projekt BioNTech

Since the beginning of the century, the medical couple Uğur Şahin and Özlem Türeci have been dedicated to the goal of individualizing cancer treatment. The company they founded, BioNTech, focuses on mRNA technology. One researcher who has been intensively involved in this field for some time is the Hungarian Katalin Karikó; Ugur Şahin brought her to BioNTech a few years ago. The "m" in mRNA stands for "messenger," and RNA for ribonucleic acid. mRNA transmits the information for the production of an antigen to our cellular machinery, which produces proteins.

Dear Jackie

Dear Jackie is a cinematic letter to Jackie Robinson, the first Black man to play in Major League Baseball, after a stint with the minor-league Montreal Royals, and a key contributor to the civil rights movement in the United States. The film addresses Robinson directly and recounts the current situation of the Black community in Little Burgundy, once known as the “Harlem of the North,” drawing interesting parallels between the two eras. Through eloquent interviews, the filmmaker paints a portrait of racism and racial inequality in Montreal and Quebec as a whole. Presenting a unique historical and social perspective, Henri Pardo has made an important film that deconstructs the myth of a post-racial Quebec society.

North Shore Betty

The misty forests above North Vancouver, British Columbia are hallowed ground for mountain biking, a place so harrowing it’s influenced every aspect of the sport for over 30 years. It’s also where Betty Birrell, at age 45, picked up mountain biking after a career as a mountaineer and professional windsurfer. Three decades later, the single mother is a role model for her son, her friends and anyone she’s met along the way – and proof that you’re never too old to send.

fuori fuori orario

An installation designed to be exhibited on the windows of the Museo del Novecento in Milan and consists of the reassembly of fragments from Fuori Orario, the famous program conceived by enrico ghezzi. Over the course of 60 minutes, film sequences, montages, theme songs and nocturnal presentations alternate between the early nineties and the end of the 2000s. Fuori Orario is seen fragmentarily, it is thought first of all by separating image and sound: only inside the museum can it be heard and only outside can it be seen. In both cases, the work is made up of superimpositions, forms and words that escape and chase each other. Entering the endless night, the impossibility of an absolute gaze is increasingly revealed. In the construction of the sequences, the previous thought is not forgotten, but it is recontextualized within the same frame, it is put back into the discourse, conscious but uncontrolled reactivation.
