The Netherlands: The New Cocaine Mafias

In recent years, the Netherlands and Belgium have become major drug trafficking hubs in Europe, with almost 80% of the continent's cocaine passing through Rotterdam or Antwerp. This has led to the rise of the “Mocro Mafia,” criminal networks of Dutch people of Moroccan origin. These gangs began by trafficking hashish from Morocco but now use the same routes for the more profitable cocaine trade, sourced from Latin American cartels. Consequently, the “Mocro Mafia” has become one of the world’s richest criminal organizations, generating an estimated fifty billion euros annually in Antwerp alone—10% of Belgium’s budget.

Kyklop

The short film poem KYKLOP is dedicated to a mechanical eye as an autonomous being. Round wheels and targets similar to him seem to arouse the interest of this main character. The atmosphere is thundery, thunderous. It reminds of the cyclopean thunder demons from the "Theogony" of the ancient Greek poet Hesiod. KYKLOP (2023) is another autonomous part of the film cycle by Telemach Wiesinger and Alexander Grebtschenko that began with TURBULENCE (2022) and its pairs of mechanical wings.

The High Life

In the final season of the original 119-year-old Le Refuge de la Charpoua, hutkeeper of eight years, Sarah Cartier, and her two children, embrace the high life and all its history in the mountains near Chamonix, France. The timeworn little building, set to be rebuilt in the same place in 2023, is surrounded by towering granite walls and alpine light providing them with a mystical setting to do all the dailies of cooking, cleaning and climbing; a place to breathe in the freedom of the high life while the sights and sounds of the busy world below fall away.

Arten schützen - aber wie?

Despite the efforts made in recent decades to protect wildlife, the loss of biodiversity in Europe remains alarming. What can be done to protect it? While some advocate "letting nature take its course", the work of numerous ecologists and researchers runs counter to preconceived ideas: according to them, the protection of endangered species often requires, on the contrary, human intervention - provided that it is reasoned and respectful of the environment. Leaving land uncultivated can be counter-productive, as in the case of the Chizé forest in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France, where the cessation of tree-cutting has driven away several species of snake that previously thrived there.
