Cristina Zabalaga PT Bra-Fitting 11 min 38s 2011 | World Premiere
Catalina Flórez CO Buy me! 59 min Feature Documentary 2011
Vivan designs dessous for prostitutes. With her partner Michel she sells her
creations to the girls in the red-light districts in the Netherlands.
Vivian’s longtime relationship with the prostitutes allows filmmaker Catalina
Flórez an exceptionally intimate view into the minds of the girls behind the
glass windows. Very personal interviews show the human side of the girls,
often judged as immoral and pitiful.
Buy me! tells about the search for easy money, freedom, fun and love. In a
live between show window and relationship, between moral and necessity,
between beauty and age.

stills: On Hard Art Of Strolling
A Documentary Film directed by Ivan Garcia
Five strolls. Shanghai before Mao, interwar Paris, the Soviet Union during industrialization, Japan before invading Manchuria and Barcelona at the beginning of Spanish Civil War. It’s just about wandering down the streets, taking a tram, having lunch in a restaurant, seeing how the ships unload their goods on the quay, entering a cinema, travelling cross-country by train, attending a concert, taking a bath in the lake, drinking in a nightclub … As Joseph Roth quoted: “The tiny small part impresses more than the whole thing. I’m a stroller”.

pictured: Susanna Berivan by Jon Clay
SUSANNA BERIVAN – voice, guitar, songwriting
“First up on stage was the lovely Susanna Berivan and she made sure that nobody would be leaving the place without knowing her name. This lady has it all. Style, grace, musical talent, a beautiful voice to fall in love with and a face to match. Her songs vary from dirty C&W style to an almost Billie Holiday-esque style of singing, and is always accompanied by her trusty guitar. So whenever you’re in Berlin make sure to see one of her shows, which shouldn’t be too hard, because if there’s anyone who’s playing a lot of shows, it’s her. Or better yet, offer her a record deal. ” DOSSIER MAGAZINE
