Running with the Herd is a unique and beautiful film. Director Thorfinnur Gudnason and his team bring to life a dramatic tale with sharply defined characters – all of them horses. Stretching the limits of the nature documentary has been Gudnason´s forte and his earlier film, Woodmouse: Life of the Run, has been shown around the world. Here he takes us into the world of horses running wild in the stark but majestic highlands of Iceland. Without humanising the animals in any way, the film tells a story full of drama and emotion, character, danger, and resolve.

Klezmer derives from the Hebrew words "Kley Zemer", which refer to the musical instruments (generally, the violin and stringed instruments in general and the clarinet) used to play the traditional music of Eastern European Jews from the XVIth century on. Moni's StageOrchestra is inspired by that music, by its constant change of tones and by the spirit which pervades it, from the sorrowful, monochord which revives the spirit of a synagogue prayer to the explosive joy of songs and dance music created for happier occasions. It is not a faithful reprise of klezmer music or a philological revisitation we propose here, but rather a free use, which maintains the climate and the imprint of several centuries of musical practice, born and developed in close proximity with the Polish, Czech and Byelorussian civilizations and enriched by a fertile exchange with the musical culture of that other diasporic population of Europe, the Gypsy people.

The ninth Warped Tour, a celebration of punk rock, skateboards, and BMX racing, takes a pleasantly nostalgic angle on the long-running, successful summer tour, gathering memories, quotes, and reflections by artists and management alike. Still, it's the music that counts, including the epic leanings of Sum 41's "Over My Head," the catchy rage of Rancid's "Journey to the End of the East Bay," and the Celtic mania of Dropkick Murphys' "Black Velvet Band." Elsewhere, Less Than Jake's nutty horn section on "Ghosts of You and Me," Andrew W.K.'s overbearing and irresistible silliness on "We Want Fun," and Poison the Well's thrash-punk drama on "Botchla" prove galvanizing. Several acts look and sound like rebels in search of a clue, but for the most part the bands on Vans Warped Tour 2003 are musically, as well as socially, compelling.
