The Isolated Cinema

Have you heard about the concept of the Isolated Cinema on the island of Pater Noster, which is a part of the Göteborg Film Festival? One person among all the brave volunteers will be selected to spend a week on the island in complete solitude (there'll be another person in a lighthouse just for security reasons). This Swedish movie festival requires from the participant an absolute prohibition of using smartphone or any other electric device as a laptop etc. The goal is to connect with nature because the chosen one (not Harry Potter this time) will be living in a lighthouse for a week and will watch about 60 movies there. The idea arose throughout the worldwide lockdown. I mean, it's always better to be locked, surrounded by nature than being stucked in an apartment building, hearing unpleasant noises of pneumatic drills, right?

The festival seems to create an amazing experience. People from the whole world can apply to participate in the upcoming event. The only condition is to not have any modern devices on the island and naturally, being available from 30 January to 6 February, when the Isolated Cinema will take place. There's an application that you can send till 17th January, so today is the last possible day. Here's the link if you'd like to apply or simply read more about it: Göteborg Film Festival

There's also a glimpse of how could it look like, and it appears to be quite promising. I suppose that all the "Lighthouse" references might be on point.

Sleep Paralysis

Today I've wanted to take a closer look at sleep paralysis and all the questions connected to this subject. Unfortunately, this isn't something new for me as I was exposed to this sort of occurrence many times before. From my own experience, I can say that this is a living nightmare. I'm able to fall asleep, but then suddenly I'm starting to feel conscious, and I can have my eyes opened, but then I'm still half asleep, so I don't have any control over my mind. Even though my mind is awake, my body is still paralysed. I couldn't distinguish all the phenomena before, but it seems that I passed all three stages of sleep paralysis. One of them is called "incubus" - but the definition is quite different from what usually is associated with "the incubus" known as an evil spirit. During this kind of paralysis, I witness a feeling of suffocation, experienced by the unknown energy. The second stage can be known as "the intruder", this o...

Urban Nation Museum

Guten Morgen/Tag/Abend or whichever time of the day it is. Every cloud has a silver lining, so has my blog. Inspired by a recent lesson, I decided to share my fave museum's story. Last year, about the same time I took a quick city break to explore some art in our neighbour's country with my friend. Berlin seemed to be the best option for us and it appeared to have many lovely corners. Nevertheless, it was the Urban Nation Museum that we enjoyed the most. First of all, the entrance is totally free of charge which was important for us, 2 broken girls (pun intended). However, there was a possibility to donate some money inside. And I think that's quite a nice solution since murals that decorate the building outside are often changed. We had a chance to spot this one which was designed by Dima Rebus from Russia. However, the inside was compelling as well. There was an initiative to create some street and urban's pieces due to vandalism which was frequently reflected well......

Harley Quinn - the cartoon

Hello dears (or deer, whatever you prefer)! So, as we have Saint Nicholas Day and the holiday's season can be considered as open, I've chosen to write about a cartoon, Harley Quinn from 2019, which is rather a gift for adults who still enjoy comics and superhero movies / animations. I find this animated TV series the best what has happened to DC since Batman's trilogy created by Christopher Nolan. There are many reasons why this cartoon is sooo good. But first of all, voice actors made an incredible job by bringing the animated characters to life. Among them are Lake Bell who dubbed Poison Ivy, one of the most iconic characters on the show and Alan Tudyk, who (in my opinion) impersonated Joker even better than Mark Hamill who is widely known to dub Joker in several animations. Moreover, the show is so well written, which isn't that common nowadays. It presents Harley Quinn's life after she separated ways with Joker and her attempt of being an independent woman who w...
