  This original hour-long audio documentary will take you in the footsteps of the 19th century’s most beloved and most played piano composer in the world : Frederic Chopin !  His compositions are reconfigured or remixed in many popular songs and are often heard in cinema as well as in the theater.The music of Frederic Chopin is part of our soundscape. Its humanity, its refinement and its modernity have enabled it to successfully cross over centuries. This great composer lived only 39 short years, during which he gave only a few rare concerts (which he hardly appreciated).So here we are going to discuss a relatively undocumented musical event (rich in anecdotes) : Frederic Chopin's concert at the Hotel de Ville in Rouen on the evening of March 12, 1838. Whether you are a music lover, passionate about history or simply of a curious temperament, I invite you to immerse yourself in this fascinating story, alone or with your family. The music terms have been simplified to the maximum to make the story accessible to as many people as possible.Have a good sound journey to the 19th century, don’t hesitate to share this original episode produced by the Safeguarding of the Acoustic Heritage (Sauvegarde du Patrimoine Acoustique) !

  The Rainbow Age of Television -...

  With the last decade's television boom across a multitude of platforms, American audiences are being treated to a cascade of shows that some have trumpeted as a second Golden Age. But something completely new is stirring, too—the Rainbow Age. For the first time in the history of American television, we have shows in which LGBTQIA+ characters have evolved from being an anomaly to being an almost given and celebrated presence on the small screen. But what more can queer TV do? Is each new queer character really breaking ground? And has the curse of the fictional dead lesbian finally been defeated? 
   
   
   
  The Rainbow Age of Television tackles these questions and more as author Shayna Maci Warner tracks the history and evolution of LGBTQIA+ icons across the televised ages and into the future—from the first televised queer kiss (we think) to the shows that are making household names and heroes of queer characters. Warner uses original interviews with queer TV icons along with detailed history to investigate the constraints under which queer people have been allowed to exist on American television. The Rainbow Age of Television explores why queer people are so invested in—and conflicted by—the kinds of storytelling that TV has to offer. Above all, it's a celebration of the LGBTQIA+ shows, their characters, and their creators that define this new age in television.

  RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY STEVEN SPIELBERG 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Raiders of the Lost Ark is an action-adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by George Lucas. Set in 1936, it follows Indiana Jones, a daring archaeologist, as he races against Nazi forces to find the Ark of the Covenant, a biblical relic believed to possess immense power. Along the way, Jones faces treacherous enemies, dangerous traps, and a complicated relationship with his former lover, Marion Ravenwood. The film blends thrilling action, suspense, and historical mythology, paying homage to classic adventure serials while exploring themes of courage, greed, and the quest for power. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Harrison Ford ad-libbed the line "It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage" to Marion on the ship.” 
    
  “The "body blow" sounds were made by striking a pile of leather jackets with a baseball bat.” 
    
  “Alfred Molina had his first credited role in this film, where he had to endure being covered in tarantulas.” 
    
  “During filming in Tunisia, almost everyone on set fell ill, except for Steven Spielberg. He avoided sickness by only eating cans of Spaghetti-O's that he brought himself.” 
    
  “A python bit first assistant director David Tomblin during the "Well of Souls" scene, and it wouldn’t let go until someone grabbed its tail and snapped it, making the snake release its bite.”

  Gentlemen of the Shade - My Own...

  Gus Van Sant’s film and the ’90s cult of the alternative
   
  Gus Van Sant’s 1991 indie darling My Own Private Idaho perplexed and provoked, inspiring a new ethos for a new decade: being different was better than being good. Gentlemen of the Shade examines how the film was a coming-of-age for a generation of young people who would embrace the alternative and bring their outsider perspectives to sustainability, technology, gender constructs, and social responsibility.
   
  My Own Private Idaho — fragmented and saturated with colour and dirt and a painfully beautiful masculinity — also crept into popular media, and its influence can still be traced. R.E.M. Portlandia. Hipsterism. James Franco. Referencing the often-funny and sometimes-tragic cultural touchstones of the past 26 years, Gentlemen of the Shade sets the film as social bellwether for the many outsiders who were looking to join the right, or any, revolution.
