  • Endelig Nytt Album Fra Marina Diamandis
    Marina - Love+Fear 04-04-2019 17:01 CEST Endelig nytt album fra Marina Diamandis Multi-platina selgende pop innovatør MARINA utgir endelig første del, Love, av sitt fjerde studioalbum, Love+Fear, i dag via Atlantic Records. Love+Fear er to samlinger på åtte spor hver som til sammen blir et album og markerer MARINAs oppfølgerplate til kritikerroste, Froot, fra 2015. Love+Fear kan beskrives som en både frodig, levende og kraftfull representasjon av de to viktigste emosjonelle drivkreftene bak menneskelige responser. Love er fylt med en lengsel etter å nyte livet (Handmade Heaven) og et ønske om å forene (To Be Human). Fear utforsker temaer temaer som er hardere å jobbe gjennom og forstå, som formål (Life is Strange), usikkerhet i kjærlighet (Believe in Love og Soft to be Strong), og store endringer i vår sosiale bevissthet knyttet til systematisk kvinnehat og seksuelt misbruk utført av mektige figurer i media (Karma). Som en kompanjong til Love, viser og utforsker disse ideene de polariserende sidene ved menneskets natur. MARINA har brukt de siste to årene på å skrive og spille inn det nye albumet på tvers av London, Sverige og Los Angeles med anerkjente navn som Noonie Bao, Sam De Jong, Oscar Görres, Camille Purcell, Justin Parker og Joe Janiak. Om albumet forklarer MARINA,"My songwriting has always been inspired and shaped by traditional storytelling and social shifts in our culture. As a society we have experienced such major social change in the past three years - politically, digitally and psychologically. Love+Fear reflects this." Den siste delen av Love+Fear albumet blir utgitt 26.

Though trans women of color, such as Laverne Cox and Janet Mock, are more visible in mainstream media than ever before, mainstream media still largely depicts trans people through white constructs of what it means to be trans, namely medicalized binary transitions.

  • Jubliäums-LEA Lässt Stars Und Promis Feiern Medienmogul Beierlein Für Lebenswerk Geehrt
    5. Live Entertainment Award in der neuen O2 World Hamburg Jubliäums-LEA lässt Stars und Promis feiern Medienmogul Beierlein für Lebenswerk geehrt Zum fünften Mal wurden am Donnerstag in Hamburg die Live Entertainment Awards (LEA) verliehen, mit denen die deutsche Konzert- und Showbranche herausragende Leistungen von Veranstaltern, Künstlermanagern, Konzertagenten und Spielstätten- betreibern würdigt. Der wichtigste Preis für ein Lebenswerk im Musikgeschäft ging an den 80-jährigen Münchner Medienmanager und „Unterhalter der Nation“ – Hans R. Beierlein. Dass auch das Veranstaltungsgewerbe inzwischen von der Wirtschaftskrise gebeutelt wird und 2009 – nach mehreren Jahren kontinuierlicher Umsatzzuwächse – erstmals Einbußen verzeichnen musste, davon war in der ehemaligen Color Line Arena nichts zu spüren. Die neue O2 World Hamburg erlebte nicht nur ihre Feuertaufe und Premiere, sondern auch eine Livebranche, die sich in einer dreieinhalbstündigen glamourösen Gala selbst feierte – und die hierzu reichlich Prominenz und Stars aus dem Showbusiness auf den roten Teppich lud: Da stellten sich Peter Maffay, die Scorpions und Christina Stürmer ebenso dem Blitzlichtgewitter wie Roger Cicero, Soulsängerin Joy Denalane, Reamonn-Sänger Rea Garvey, Comedian Hans Werner Olm oder die Musiker von Silbermond und Tomte. Weiter auf dem Parkett gesehen: die HSV-Profis Jerome Boateng und Dennis Aogo, die Boxer Juan Carlos Gomez und Kohren Gevor, Starmodel Fiona Erdmann, die Sänger Michy Reincke, Tom Gaebel, Lotto King Karl, Carsten Pape, Kai Wingenfelder, Hans

Through the Hall of Fame, residents of Chicago and the world are made aware of the contributions of Chicago’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities and the communities’ efforts to eradicate bias and discrimination. With the support of the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations, the Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbian Issues (now the Advisory Council on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues) established the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame in June 1991. The inaugural induction ceremony took place during Pride Week at City Hall, hosted by Mayor Richard M. Daley. This was the first event of its kind in the country. The Hall of Fame recognizes the volunteer and professional achievements of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals, their organizations and their friends, as well as their contributions to the LGBT communities and to the city of Chicago.

  • A Film by Chris Moukarbel and Valerie Veatch Me @The Zoo a Film by Chris Moukarbel and Valerie Veatch
    ME @THE ZOO A FILM BY CHRIS MOUKARBEL AND VALERIE VEATCH ME @THE ZOO A FILM BY CHRIS MOUKARBEL AND VALERIE VEATCH ME @THE ZOO tells the story of Chris Crocker, a video blogger from a small town in Tennessee. Crocker is part of the first generation of kids raised on the Internet, coming of age under constant self- surveillance. His online videos, including the infamous YouTube declaration “Leave Britney Alone!”– have been viewed hundreds of millions of times and have created a worldwide phenomenon. This portrait weaves a tapestry of Internet media with reactions from Crocker fans and haters to examine a new controversial kind of fame: the Internet folk hero. ACQUIRED BY HBO (USA) AND BBC (UK) DIRECTOR’S WORD Like so many others, we first discovered Chris Crocker by being sent early online videos such as “Bitch Please” and “This or That”. The first question we asked was apparently a common one. “Is this real?” Years later we began making a film that asked the same question in a more general sense. We began a documentary about the history and impact of reality televi- sion. As ideas of consciousness shift in lockstep with new technology, “Reality” has become the dominant medium. Our film research took us around the world. We interviewed everyone from the cast of the original Dutch reality show, Hollywood executives and even a Reality TV School. In the end, this hunt for reality brought us to a small town in Tennessee and to Chris Crocker. Crocker was raised in the age of reality where anyone with a camera can become a star.
