It is socially awkward, silent types, their emotions and feelings on people focus, but on horses.

The contrast between paradisiacal landscapes and human pettiness is something that many filmmakers fascinates. A beautiful nature is no guarantee for communities living in harmony.

In his feature debut “Or horses and men ‘Icelandic director Benedikt Erlingsson beats beautiful coin from the opposition. The film portrays the magnificently rugged Icelandic nature a few inhabitants of a hamlet that monitor each other with binoculars constant. They are socially awkward, silent types, which do not focus on people’s emotions and feelings, but on horses.

Beloved Horses
Everyone has at least one wonderful Icelandic horse (the famous small breed), which is almost treated like a lover. It goes far. So shoot a man out of jealousy his mare death because she has let pounce by a stallion.

It sounds ridiculous, and that would be if “Or horses and men ‘was a realistic drama, but the deadpan absurdist atmosphere more reminiscent of the work of Alex van Warmerdam. If the film already has a message, it is that humans and animals are driven by the same instincts.

Animal
The fuck of a man (Ingvar Eggert Sigurosson) and a woman (Charlotte Boving) after the whole film to have gedrenteld around each other, looks as animal as in horses. That humans and animals alike, is not a major new insight.

Whether horses and men ‘then it should not have groundbreaking observations, but the deadpan acting and brilliant camera work of the Icelander Bergsteinn Björgúlfsson. It illustrates best Icelandic film of the year was declared man-and-horse drama again that the more local is a film, the more universal it becomes.

A novel about a plane crash in eastern Ukraine, shortly after the downing the MH17. His imagination was A.F.Th. gripped

It is my intention to clarify the situation which already five and a half months behind us

AFTh. van der Heijden

His book or about flight MX17 but does everything in mind the disaster that claimed 298 victims in mid-July.

The novel, which must appear autumn 2015, is not about this or disaster victims, almost AFTh. van der Heijden to say. “It will lead to misunderstandings, for someone the story but also had access. Though I also wish to address such painful subject. That’s not just the point.

“A novel is for me an opportunity to say something about the situation in the world, the old confrontation between East and West. Of course I can not release too much about the story, it is still in development. But that is the point. “

The book is also a tribute, his son was killed in 2010, Tonio and this year at the age of 101 deceased father Natan Rotenstreich. To him, the main character, a war photographer named. “I read about the disaster and suddenly saw Tonio for me, four years older. He was a photographer and studied media & amp; culture. I saw in him someone who had gone into the practice, journalism, as a war photographer. “

Olaf Koen
” I have great admiration for war photographers. I have studied all of Pierre Crom, as I have read the reports of Olaf Koen. ” The story is a war photographer decapitated by IS over, which James Foley is to recognize that the great example of Natan is from the book. “There were a few things together. A week after the disaster, my father died. He came from Ukraine, from western Ukraine true, but he told me a lot about farming and about Putin. He loved everything. Years ago he outlined Putin for me, one question: would you buy a used car from him

“That plane crashed so in his country of origin?. He was dying, and I saw my son back to me. I have always found him terribly with his background, his entire family was murdered by the Nazis, his only grandson lost. There were many things together. That needed something from me. “

Another week later, beginning of August, he saw the story for themselves. “As soon as I even me a little ashamed that the imagination in such a horrible event taking control. Then I started making myself believe that it is never a book would be. “

An experiment
” In “EenVandaag” I saw that the relatives are in favor of a memorial to the victims, a nice initiative. Perhaps a novel is also regarded as a monument, I already have that pretense at all.

“It is my intention to clarify the situation which already five and a half months so sore back our lies. Will recognize there are layers of reality, but it is still a novel, with its own logic. But I do not rule out that I got inside will come up with its own solution to the riddle: what is the circumstances, who are the culprits and the heads of the disaster ‘

Van der Heijden is not strange? placing novels against the backdrop of the recent past. But it is the first time that he so briefly follows the reality, at a time when investigations are still ongoing and in Russia and Ukraine still everything can change. “If on a parallel track. That I have never experienced. It is almost an experiment “

Under ‘aggression and violence “foundation understands verbal aggression, threats, physical aggression, and sexual harassment.

12 percent did not know that you can do declaration

63 percent of the responders filled out the survey, but once said to be dealing with aggression while providing assistance. In almost half of the cases involved verbal aggression. 27 percent of the responders did ever return. 12 percent of the responders did not know you can do declaration of aggression during your work.

The culprit comes redress

27 percent of responders who had reported, was saying bad experiences have had. In ‘most cases’ that negative experiences are caused by the perpetrator. Jan Franx, president of Foundation Help for Caregivers:

“The rescuers instance, did the offender on the street, and were threatened. “Hey asshole, you did return!” In some cases, the perpetrators even came to the door of the social worker to seek redress. “

The foundation noted in the report that these aid workers apparently did not know that they can report anonymously.

Not prosecuted

Other negative experiences come from the fact that the suspects in some cases were not prosecuted for lack of witnesses. Police officers may, according to the foundation does declare on their own, but other caregivers should always at least in pairs on to declare for prosecution.

No support from employer

There were also social workers who make the bad experience with the declaration had been with their employer says Franx. This was mainly for workers who work for jusitie, for example in a penitiaire décor. It is a “small number” of employees that were not supported by their employer in their declaration. Franx:

“That will employer not complain, it’s part of your job to occasionally get a hit.”

Franx calls this attitude “shocking.” “A boss should stand behind you, and the inclusion of you.” When the police and health care, according to him indeed much attention here.

Threshold is high

The threshold for declaration is getting higher as Franx. So call rescuers also as reason to not report that they prefer to continue to do their work and others do not want to bother with their declaration. Board member of the Foundation Jacco Scheer said in a press release:

“Social workers provide assistance to and no one else to bother. The time they spend for reporting the crime, they can spend a lot more useful. In addition, they keep someone from work who could do other things at the time. So this is a major cultural problem “
