Malviviendo:
Made in Spain
Olvídate del Cuéntame, El Amor con Huevos Revueltos, digo,
en Tiempos Revueltos, y otras casposidades del panorama serial 'made in
Spain. Los sevillanos de Malviviendo demuestran que a falta de medios buenas
son ideas, imaginación, desparpajo y otras virtudes de la 'generación
indignada' (a.k.a. 'generación 15M'). Y además, con impagables tributos a
otras series de culto como Dexter (véanse los créditos de entrada del 1º
capítulo), The Wire, etc., etc.

the wire
Baltimore drug scene, seen through the eyes of drug
dealers, and law enforcement. A disturbingly visual study on the effect of
institutions on its members: police, politicians, criminals, addicts.
Possibly the best thing written for television ever; certainly the best to
come out in the last 25 or so years. "The Wire" escapes the melodramatic
pitfalls of shows like "the West Wing," "Six Feet Under" and even "The
Sopranos".
Here is a show which over the course of 37 hours weaves together scores of
very tautly detailed characters. It's not easy to watch--and its certainly
challenging. But it is surely worth it.

dexter
Meet Dexter Morgan. By day he's a blood spatter
pattern expert for the Miami Metro police department. But by night - he
takes on an entirely different persona: serial killer. But Dexter isn't your
average serial killer as he only kills people who fit a very prolific and
precise "moral code" taught to him by his late father Harry (he didn't kill
Harry, honest), and developed very thoroughly throughout each kill.

fringe
Telekinesis, precognition, dark matter,
teleportation, cybernatics. Want more? Transmogrification,
psychokinesis, Massive Dynamics, parallel universes, shapeshifters, you
name it.
From the J.J.Abrams factory (remember
Lost?),
Fringe has been described as "kind of like CSI meets the X-files
with some weird science in the mix". FBI agent
Olivia Dunham and Peter Bishop are faced with a rapidly spreading
unexplained phenomenon of the threatening kind. In an attempt to stop the
spread, they enlist the assistance of Bishop's estranged father, the
institutionalized scientist Dr. Walter Bishop.
And who are those bald, eyebrowless, hatted indiviuduals known as
The Observers?
You'll have to watch Fringe to figure it out. Or may be not.

TREME
From the creators of The Wire, Treme
captures a musical culture in a way that's unlike
anything that has ever been done on television or in the movies. Set in New
Orleans three months after Hurricane Katrina, Treme — named after a
neighborhood in the city known for its rich cultural heritage — follows a
wide array of citizens struggling to rebuild their lives.
Treme bursts with great rhythm & blues, funk, and jazz music. It's
got superb performances from two Wire vets, Wendell Pierce (as
devilish trombone player Antoine) and Clarke Peters (as the leader of a
Mardi Gras Indian tribe). Add cameos by Dr. John, Elvis Costello, the genius
record producer Allen Toussaint, and many lesser-known but terrific
musicians as both players and actors and Treme explodes with
pleasure.
And pain. The show never lets you forget the unending tragedy in New
Orleans: parents looking for missing relatives; government policies that
increase red tape and anguish; and local businesses trying, heroically, to
remain in a place where money, food, and electricity are in short supply.
A definite must.

VEOLIA ENVIRONNEMENT WILDLIFE
PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR 2011
Sponsored by the
National History Museum
in London, this annual wildlife photography competition is one of the
most prestigious of its kind, attracting entries from photographers of
all ages worldwide. A selection of the pictures is shown in an
exhibition that tours nationally and internationally, and receive
extensive media and online coverage.
This year's winner in the "Wildlife photographer of the year' category
was Daniel Beltrá (Spain) with his picture "Still life on oil' [left]
which depicts a group of rescued brown pelicans with crude oil trickling
off their feathers. The pelicans are going through the first stage of
cleaning at a temporary bird-rescue facility in Fort Jackson, Louisiana.
They've already been sprayed with a light oil to break up the heavy
crude trapped in their feathers.

Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining and profoundly moving
case for creating an education system that nurtures (rather than
undermines) creativity.

If I should have a daughter (Sarah Kay)
"If I should have a daughter, instead of Mom, she's gonna call me
Point B ... " begins spoken word poet Sarah Kay, in a talk that
inspired two standing ovations at TED2011. She tells the story of
her metamorphosis -- from a wide-eyed teenager soaking in verse at
New York's Bowery Poetry Club to a teacher connecting kids with the
power of self-expression through Project V.O.I.C.E. -- and gives two
breathtaking performances of "B" and "Hiroshima." |

How
I became 100 artists (Shea Hembrey)
How do you stage an international art show with work from 100
different artists? If you're Shea Hembrey, you invent all of the
artists and artwork yourself -- from large-scale outdoor
installations to tiny paintings drawn with a single-haired brush.
Watch this funny, mind-bending talk to see the explosion of
creativity and diversity of skills a single artist is capable of.

Suddenly,
my body (Eve Ensler)
Poet, writer, activist Eve Ensler lived in her head. In this
powerful talk from TEDWomen, she talks about her lifelong
disconnection from her body -- and how two shocking events helped
her to connect with the reality, the physicality of being human. |

Using three iPods like magical props, Marco
Tempest spins a clever, surprisingly heartfelt meditation on truth
and lies, art and emotion.
