Monitoring social media seems like an obvious way of predicting events such as a protest or a terrorist attack, but it has so far proved challenging. For example, Brazil was largely unprepared for mass protests in 2013 even though they were organized on social media.
Such failures provided motivation for a study published today in Science. A team of researchers was able to characterize a fundamental way that terrorists and other groups use social media to organize themselves. The researchers then used this data to create an algorithm that may be able to predict the future behaviors of these groups, including when their activity escalates leading up to an event (see "Fighting Isis Online").
Most social-media platforms offer an easy way to set up a community or organization page where anyone can join, exchange information, and remain anonymous. These ad hoc groups, termed "aggregates" in this research, are being used by terrorist groups to communicate and build support.
Neil Johnson, a physicist at the University of Miami, and his team focused on a Russia-based social platform called VKontakte, which boasts 360 million users worldwide. They manually identified 196 pro-ISIS aggregates involving 108,086 individuals based on content that suggested a concrete connection to ISIS (rather than just keywords.) The researchers saw that these aggregates grow over time, and larger ones develop from the coalescence of smaller ones. They tracked them over a six-month period to gather data about their behaviors on a day-to-day basis, which they then used to create a predictive algorithm.
The research surfaces some fundamental characteristics of social groups that could be important for combating terrorism—for example, that it is more effective to identify aggregates rather than individuals (which are more numerous and time-consuming to parse), and to target smaller, weaker aggregates before they combine into larger ones. The algorithm also seems to indicate that the rate of aggregate formation escalates leading up to big events, which was true before the 2013 protests in Brazil and the 2014 ISIS attacks in Kobane, Syria.
Johnson says that the information uncovered by their algorithm could be used to create a tool that aids anti-terrorism efforts (see "What Google and Facebook Can Do to Fight Isis"). "It would be possible to create automated machinery that then looks across the different online media sites, and detects the aggregates, detects their dynamics, checks it out, looks for the escalation, and therefore heightens alerts when there's an escalation of aggregate creation," he says.
Eliminating terrorist activity on social media presents a challenge—often shutdowns come from the platform itself, which must navigate the line between public safety and free speech. Facebook has a team that identifies and removes individuals or groups associated with terrorist content, and earlier this year Twitter suspended 125,000 accounts with links to ISIS. Individual hackers and government agencies may also intervene—last year, the online Hacktivist group Anonymous removed 20,000 Twitter accounts with ties to ISIS.
But some scientists question the value of the algorithm as a predictive tool for anti-terrorism efforts. Andrew Gelman, a professor of statistics and politics at Columbia University, thinks the idea of looking at aggregates is a good one, but the study's analysis of the behaviors of aggregates may be more useful than its predictive algorithm.

Matthew McConaughey is a celebrity actor who began acting after deciding to switch from law to film at college. He first worked in student films and commercials before landing his first television and movies roles in the early 90′s. His breakout role came in 1993 with the film "Dazed and Confused" and he went onto land many important roles in blockbuster movies such as "Lone Star" and "A Time to Kill." His career continued to take off and in the early 2000′s he began to be cast in romantic comedies as well as his more traditional roles. The following is a list of movies that Matthew McConaughey has acted in during his career so far.

Local transmission of chikungunya has been confirmed in south-eastern France, with four cases diagnosed in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region as of 23 August 2017. In addition, there is one probable case, and eight suspected cases.
While these are not the first reported cases of chikungunya in France, chikungunya is an emerging disease in southern Europe and an outbreak is considered unexpected. The vector, the Aedes albopictus mosquito, is establishing itself in large part of the Mediterranean basin and beyond.
Risk communication as coordinated by the regional health agency.
WHO has assessed this outbreak as a potential risk for international spread. Asymptomatic infection with chikungunya can go undetected and therefore also increase the risk for spread.
WHO advises people within and traveling to this area of France to take precautions to prevent mosquito bites during the day. In addition, vector control and blood safety measures should be taken.

U.S. Steps Up Unilateral Strikes in Pakistan
By Robin Wright and Joby Warrick
Washington Post Staff Writers
The United States has escalated its unilateral strikes against al-Qaeda members and fighters operating in Pakistan's tribal areas, partly because of anxieties that Pakistan's new leaders will insist on scaling back military operations in that country, according to U.S. officials.
Washington is worried that pro-Western President Pervez Musharraf, who has generally supported the U.S. strikes, will almost certainly have reduced powers in the months ahead, and so it wants to inflict as much damage as it can to al-Qaeda's network now, the officials said.
Over the past two months, U.S.-controlled Predator aircraft are known to have struck at least three sites used by al-Qaeda operatives. The moves followed a tacit understanding with Musharraf and Army chief Gen. Ashfaq Kiyani that allows U.S. strikes on foreign fighters operating in Pakistan, but not against the Pakistani Taliban, the officials said.
About 45 Arab, Afghan and other foreign fighters have been killed in the attacks, all near the Afghan border, U.S. and Pakistani officials said. The goal was partly to jar loose information on senior al-Qaeda leaders, including Osama bin Laden and his lieutenants, by forcing them to move in ways that U.S. intelligence analysts can detect. Local sources are providing better information to guide the strikes, the officials said.
A senior U.S. official called it a "shake the tree" strategy. It has not been without controversy, others said. Some military officers have privately cautioned that airstrikes alone -- without more U.S. special forces soldiers on the ground in the region -- are unlikely to net the top al-Qaeda leaders.
The campaign is not designed to capture bin Laden before Bush leaves office, administration officials said. "It's not a blitz to close this chapter," said a senior official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of ongoing operations. "If we find the leadership, then we'll go after it. But nothing can be done to put al-Qaeda away in the next nine or 10 months. In the long haul, it's an issue that extends beyond this administration."
Musharraf, who controls the country's military forces, has long approved U.S. military strikes on his own. But senior officials in Pakistan's leading parties are now warning that such unilateral attacks -- including the Predator strikes launched from bases near Islamabad and Jacobabad in Pakistan -- could be curtailed.
"We have always said that as for strikes, that is for Pakistani forces to do and for the Pakistani government to decide. . . . We do not envision a situation in which foreigners will enter Pakistan and chase targets," said Farhatullah Babar, a top spokesman for the Pakistan People's Party, whose leader, Yousaf Raza Gillani, is the new prime minister. "This war on terror is our war."
Leaders of Gillani's party say they are interested in starting talks with local Taliban leaders and giving a political voice to the millions who live in Pakistan's tribal areas. U.S. Deputy Secretary of State John D. Negroponte and Assistant Secretary of State Richard A. Boucher heard the message directly yesterday from tribal elders in the village of Landi Kotal in the Khyber area.
"We told the visiting U.S. guests that the traditional jirga [tribal decision-making] system should be made effective to eliminate the causes of militancy and other problems from the tribal areas," said Malik Darya Khan, an elder. "We also told them that we have some disgruntled brothers" -- an indirect reference to local Taliban and militants -- who should be pulled into the mainstream through negotiations and dialogue, he said.
"The tribal turmoil can be resolved only through negotiations, not with military operations," Khan added. But he and others have said little specifically about how the new government should cope with foreign fighters, causing the Bush administration to engage in heavy lobbying on that issue.
President Bush called Gillani on Tuesday, for example, to stress the importance of the U.S.-Pakistani alliance and to emphasize that "fighting extremists is in everyone's interest," a White House spokesman said.

The latest laptops and perfumes are easy to find in Hong Kong but with the wide choice of shops it means you can also buy the most original souvenirs. Looking for a Chinese evening gown or antique folding screen? No problem! It's easy to fall in love with the beautifully made local goods. But be warned, shopping on this scale has already turned the people of Hong Kong into shopaholics.
Hello Kitty is everywhere
Kitty in Causeway Bay
Causeway Bay features the most diverse shops and is especially known for the Japanese wares sold there. For instance, the Sogo department store is all about Hello Kitty and sushi. The Retrostone shop around the corner is filled with faux vintage items, a bizarre fad that came over from Japan. Timepiece fans should check out the shopping centre WTC More, where Good Old Days ticks with the sound of over 1,000 watches brought from all over the world by store owner Szeto. Further down on Leighton Road is a branch of Goods of Desire. This shop focuses on all things Hong Kong, albeit with a difference – for example, a handbag with a print of countless ancient balconies. For timeless Chinese dresses and gowns, take the double-decker tram to Pedder Street, where you'll find both famous haute couture and traditional clothes in Chinese warehouses.
Antiques market
Looking for antiques
Antique shops are hiding in the quieter streets of Central. Visit Hollywood Road and you'll have your pick of Chinese porcelain, Buddha statuettes and lacquered folding screens. While many of these are genuine antiques, you could also end up with a pig in a poke. The same applies to the antiques market held every day in the same neighbourhood between Upper Lascar Row and Hollywood Road.
Bargaining is expected
The art of barter
The Chinese are not averse to haggling, especially on street markets. Locals pay the lowest price, as they can always come back or recommend a shop to friends. As a foreign visitor, you can greatly increase your chances of getting a good price if you know how things work here. For instance, there is a belief that an early-morning sale is a sign of a good day for the merchant. This superstition means that you get a better price in the morning. In addition, patience, courtesy or even a sad story are often also helpful. Good luck!

You can see them on menus in all kinds of shapes and flavours, and they are served in steamer baskets or on side plates: delicious dim sum. Originally, these steamed parcels were a favourite breakfast item but nowadays they have become just as popular for lunch. Because each restaurant fills its menu with its own creations, more than 2,000 varieties of dim sum now exist.
The residents of Hong Kong are crazy about food. You can visit one the 11,000 restaurants in this metropolis at any time of the day. Hong Kong is also a mecca for all types of snacks, from Portuguese egg tarts to Chinese chive rolls and smelly durian sorbets.
Glistening skyscrapers and imposing shopping malls dominate the skyline of Hong Kong. It's hard to imagine that this metropolis was nothing more than a fishing village 150 years ago. Fishermen lived here in stilt houses, supported above the water by poles, and fished to provide a meal for their families. You can still see this lifestyle today in Tai O fishing village.
China is the birthplace of tea. Naturally, this sophisticated beverage is a crowd pleaser in Hong Kong too. Whether with a breakfast of steamed snacks, at a business meeting or an elaborate dinner, tea accompanies most occasions. Teahouses are the quintessential places where a broad range of tea types, ceremonies and people come together.
Apart from eating, the other national sport of Hong Kong is shopping. It's hard to choose between the 100-plus shopping malls. The metropolis seems to be a maze of shopping paradises, busy promenades and craft shops. Fortunately, each neighbourhood has its own products and prices. With a little preparation you'll know exactly where to go.
You're just as likely to come across songbirds and goldfish on Hong Kong's street markets as antique watches and Chinese dresses. Street markets are always exciting and full of life, in contrast with the often stuffy shopping malls. And in Hong Kong you can find a market at any time of the day... Or night.
Hong Kong is a fascinating city with an equally interesting history. The 'New York of Asia' was once a humble fishing village. Over time it evolved into a strategic military port and then grew into the busy Hong Kong of today: one of the largest financial centres in the world.
If you only have time to visit one Hong Kong attraction, go to The Peak. And if you have a lot of time, then still visit The Peak. Seven million visitors a year find their way to the top of this mountain. The view from here is breathtaking. There is also a gigantic shopping mall that will make the heart of every shopaholic skip a beat.
In the heart of Hong Kong's hectic financial district lies a peaceful oasis - the Man Mo Temple. This temple is dedicated to 2 very different gods: Man Cheong (God of Literature) and Mo (God of War). The temple was built around 1847 by wealthy Chinese merchants during the early years of British colonial rule in Hong Kong.
Referring to Ocean Park as an amusement park hardly does it justice. Founded in 1977, Hong Kong's oldest amusement park offers so much more than just a few rides and roller coasters. Ocean Park encompasses a zoo, oceanarium, amusement park and research centre all in one. Animal welfare is one of the park's top priorities and the various laboratories carry out important research.
Long before the steamboat was invented, people crossed the harbour between the island of Hong Kong and Kowloon by sampan. A time-consuming and arduous trip. However, once the Star Ferry came into operation, the journey was reduced to only 8 minutes. The Star Ferry now offers 12 boats and the crossing offers great views of the impressive Hong Kong skyline.

EY (Ernst & Young) is running a series of workshops for the Learning for Purpose Consortium that will build the capacity of the not-for-profit sector through a focus on learning.
The workshop series will start in April 2017 and run to November 2017. If you are interested in joining the Learning for Purpose Consortium, please complete a short survey here Learning For Purpose Survey or contact Les Hems for more information.
The Australian not-for-profit sector is going through unprecedented change. Public service reform at Commonwealth and state/territory levels is fundamentally changing the relationships not-for-profit organisations (NFP) have with both government, clients and communities. The focus is now on delivering agreed outcomes and providing client choice. Digital disruption, social innovation, increasingly casualised labour market, ageing population, and budget pressures are all combining to challenge NFPs strategies and viability of operations.
To not only survive but thrive, NFPs will have to invest in their strategies and organisation capabilities – and become agile. While some NFPs will "buy-in" strategic and operational capabilities others are actively investing in their most valuable asset – their people, the human capital.
In 2016 the University of Western Australia's Centre for Social Impact (UWA CSI) launched a three year collaborative applied research project with EY (Ernst & Young) and the Australian Scholarship Foundation. Funding for the research is from the Australian Research Council (ARC) and EY is providing pro bono and in-kind support.
The Learning for Purpose research program is designed to help build the capacity of the not-for-profit sector through a focus on learning. As part of this research, EY has established a consortium of not-for-profit (or for-purpose) organisations to actively participate in, contribute to and benefit from the research program. The consortium plays a critical role in ensuring that the research program meets the needs of the not-for-profit sector.
In 2016, EY undertook a series of meetings to understand how the consortium might be founded, what types of learning not-for-profit organisations are seeking and how best to meet this need. This consultation process generated a curriculum for the Learning for Purpose workshops, methods for NFPs to engage in and benefit from the research, and the types of research outputs that will directly benefit consortium members.
The benefits of being a member of the Learning for Purpose Consortium are detailed below and a fee of $2,000 per annum is being levied to encourage active participation in the research. This fee directly contributes to the cost of the research.
Outcomes measurement: Measuring the most important value not-for-profit organisations create.
What does commissioning and contestability mean for not-for-profit organisations?
Getting ready for social impact investing and outcomes based contracting.
Integrating service performance reporting in to your annual reports.
Disruptor or disrupted: Investing in innovation through "try, test and learn".
Effective models for partnering and collaboration: The antidote to "merge or die".
"Real" Collective Impact: how to develop and implement integrated place based systems.
Do you know if the program works? Developmental evaluation methodology for social innovation and capturing real-time learning.
Data driven decision-making for not-for-profit organisations: Developing and implementing integrated shared measurement data systems.
Managing complexity: Client segmentation and designing differentiated services.
Consortium members will be invited to attend three workshops per annum and three people per organisations can attend (staff and board members). These three-hour workshops will also be converted into a series of webinars which will be freely available to all consortium members.
The workshop series will start in April 2017 and run to November 2017. A similar workshop series will be held in 2018 and 2019 if consortium members wish to continue, it is anticipated that the curriculum for future years will be decided by consortium members.
Consortium members will be invited to events where they can contribute to and learn from the research. Active participation in the research will lead to consortium members receiving a bespoke report on their workforce characteristics such as learning needs, work engagement, and innovation. Consortium members will also have the opportunity to feature in the research outputs including case studies and snapshot reports.
Active participation will also ensure that the research addresses the broader needs of the not-for-profit sector including building an evidence base to influence policymakers and funders of the value of investing in training, education and work learning. This active participation will also ensure the research is pragmatic and doesn't over burden the sector.

jumped to the film's defense on Twitter and instigated even more backlash. "Moses film attacked on Twitter for all white cast. Since when are Egyptians not white? All I know are," he tweeted. He later added, "Everybody-attacks last tweet. Of course Egyptians are Middle Eastern, but far from black. They treated blacks as slaves.""
Murdoch finished his musings with, "Okay, there are many shades of color. Nothing racist about that, so calm down!"
The internet, of course, did not calm down, instead going into overdrive calling for a boycott of the big-budget film. Edgerton expressed his sympathy for those offended by the casting decisions back in August, but said, "It's not my job to make those [casting] decisions. I got asked to do a job and it would have been very hard to say no to that job."

Q: Finding the values $A$ can take.
$$A2B2 \equiv 0 \space \space (\text{mod} \space 12)$$
$$A-B>4$$
Find the values $A$ can take.

Could you help me out?
Regards

A: If I were you, and admitting $$A2B2$$ is $$A^2B^2$$, I would take a look at the different values that a square number can take modulo 12.

A: Note that my answer is based off the comment the OP said: "$A2B2$ is a number". If this is not what they are looking for, then I will edit my answer later.
What we want is a four digit number $A2B2$ that satisfies the conditions given above.
Condition 1: $A2B2 \equiv 0 \mod{12}$
This means that our number must be divisible by $12 = 4 \times 3$. For a four digit number to be divisible by $4$, then the last two digits must either be a multiple of $4$ or both be zero. For one to be divisible by $3$, we need each digit added up to be divisible by $3$ (if you didn't know of this trick, it can be proved if you have some understanding of proofs and divisibility). A number that is divisible by both $4$ and $3$ will be divisible by $12$ as well.
Condition 2: $A-B \gt 4$ this is a straightforward thing to check after we check for condition 1.
Using condition 1, we can find all possible values for $B$:

*

*$A202 \not\equiv 0 \mod 4 \Rightarrow B \neq 0$

*$A212 \equiv 0 \mod 4 \Rightarrow B = 1$

*$A222 \not\equiv 0 \mod 4 \Rightarrow B \neq 2$

*$A232 \equiv 0 \mod 4 \Rightarrow B=3$

*$A242 \not\equiv 0 \mod 4 \Rightarrow B \neq 4$

*$A252 \equiv 0 \mod 4 \Rightarrow B=5$

*$A262 \not\equiv 0 \mod 4 \Rightarrow B \neq 6$

*$A272 \equiv 0 \mod 4 \Rightarrow B = 7$

*$A282 \not\equiv 0 \mod 4 \Rightarrow B \neq 8$

*$A292 \equiv 0 \mod 4 \Rightarrow B=9$

So $B$ could be either $1,3,5,7,9$, but take note that if $B$ were to be equal to $5,7, or 9$, then $A$ would need to be larger than $9$ by condition 2 which wouldn't make sense using the assumption that $A2B2$ is a four digit number. Therefore we now know for sure that $B = 1$ or $B=3$ and our number is either of the form: $$A212$$
Or $$A232$$
Now using condition 2, we can deduce that $A$ can be any of the following: $6,7,8,9$. Remember that our number must be divisible by three, so we need $A + 2 + 1 + 2$ to be a multiple of $3$, and this can only happen when $A = 7$.
If we let $B=3$ then we need $A+2+3+2$ to be a multiple of three and $A=8$ works.
So our only allowed value for $A$ is $7$ if $B=1$ or $8$ if $B=3$, and we can check with a calculator that $$7212 ÷ 12 = 601$$
$$7-1 \gt 4$$
Or $$8232÷12 = 686$$
$$8-3 \gt 4$$

If in fact you did mean to say $A^2B^2$ then see that we only need one of the perfect squares to be divisible by $12$. The smallest perfect square that $12$ divides into is $36 = 6^2$. If we let $A$ be $6$ then we simply set $B$ to be either $0$ or $\pm1$. Otherwise set $B=6$ and let $A \ge 11$.

So either $|A|=6$ or $|A| \ge 11$

Nobody really wants to talk to me like I'm invisible or something.
One of my teachers was not around for some reason and can't seem to do the given assignment and fell asleep after giving up trying to do it.
about half an hour before the next lesson, I actually felt like skipping the rest of the day, but I didn't.
The teacher for the rest of the day keep nagging at me about my work. I left the class mid-way, despite the teacher calling me out to return.
headed downtown via the subway later on, right after point 4. There wasn't anything interesting there (or rather something that I can afford), so I headed home via bus from there.
En route home, the bus stopped outside some well known middle school, obviously younger than me. Several school guys went to seat right at the back (where I was sitting) and were talking loudly. Along the way, 2 of the older ones made fun of the younger one.
I am lonely at home most of the time. Apart from the members of my club in school (and sometimes classmates), I never really had a friend that I would hang out, not even back in my childhood days. (I had, once, but the final straw was when he grabbed money [worth about 30000 yen] that was used to buy the PSP, from me out in the public and made me promise something with him.) I'm also not close with my extended family to the point that I don't know anything about them, not even their names, and meet only once a year.

This year of anime has had its ups and downs. We have had decedents of great scientists, and people coming out of oceans. Tanuki living in denial and evolved squids. In case you missed the slew of titles that hit this year, we've comprised a top list of the best anime released this year. Don't miss out!
Problem children have come from another world.
My Mental Choices are Completely Interfering..
My overall pick is a very difficult decision. Out of the four seasonal picks, each has its own charm. Outbreak Company is an exceptional lighthearted comedy. Kimi no Iru Machi is an excellent Drama. Henneko is a great supernatural comedy. All of these shows are definite watches.
One that I keep coming back to as a pick for the whole year would have to be Kotora-san. It just edges its way above the rest with its sweet humor, loving style, and heart wrenching character building. Yet it still keeps the story light. There is no way to truly do Kotora-san justice with words. I suggest watching it if you haven't and see for yourself.
Let us know what you think in the comments. What is your pick?

Le festival international du cinéma expérimental de Knokke-le-Zoute (surnommé EXPRMNTL), créé en 1949 par Jacques Ledoux en Belgique, est le premier festival international de cinéma expérimental, le plus long dans sa durée, malgré des interruptions dues à la modestie de ses budgets et au gigantisme de l'entreprise. Ministres, mécènes, industriels et personnalités diverses l'ont parrainé, ce qui a créé des tensions lors des éditions de 1963 et 1967, qui ont vu se propager la contre-culture.

Exprmntl a été le sismographe de son temps. Fondé au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il avait pour but premier de légitimer le cinéma expérimental en tant qu'art à part entière auprès des professionnels du cinéma et des arts-plastiques, ce que la rétrospective des films des premières avant-gardes, déjà reconnues, a eu pour mission d'accomplir dès 1949. Les événements sociopolitiques des années 1960 marquent profondément les éditions 3 et 4 d'Exprmntl situées entre le Mouvement des droits civiques et les  du début de la décennie et l'horizon de Mai 68. Elles ont traduit ce vent de contestation sur le plan artistique. La dernière édition, qui s'est déroulée à une époque où le cinéma expérimental avait rejoint les musées, a présenté majoritairement une catégorie de films relevant plus ou moins du cinéma structurel, ce qui identifia le « genre » expérimental à cette école jusqu'à l'arrivée des  et du numérique qui en ont reformaté le profil.

Le festival a contribué à légitimer le cinéma expérimental, enseigné à l'université de nos jours. Il ne connaît que cinq éditions : 1949, 1958 (à Bruxelles), 1963, 1967 et en 1974, au cours desquelles toutes les déclinaisons du genre (dépassant parfois le cadre du cinéma) ont été proposées aux spectateurs : des œuvres relevant de la première avant-garde, du cinéma abstrait, du cinéma structurel, du happening de la performance, de l'art vidéo ou du  .

Aujourd'hui encore, des rétrospectives sont consacrées au festival belge pionnier.

Historique

1949 : Festival international du film expérimental et poétique
Au lendemain de la guerre, le cinéma a cinquante ans. Hommes politiques et médiateurs culturels pensent qu'il peut être un bon ambassadeur social et culturel. Après le Festival de Venise, fondé la décennie précédente, le Festival de Cannes est créé en 1946. En 1947, la Belgique organise, un peu sur le même modèle, le Festival mondial du film et des beaux-arts qui se déroule à Bruxelles.

Lors de sa deuxième édition, qui a lieu en 1949 à Knokke-le-Zoute, André Thirifays, secrétaire général du festival (cofondateur, en 1938, avec Pierre Vermeylen et Henri Storck de la Cinémathèque de Belgique) désire créer une rétrospective consacrée au cinéma d'avant-garde et expérimental. Un tel événement n'a pas eu lieu depuis 1929 et le fameux congrès de La Sarraz (Suisse) .
Vingt ans après, de nouvelles générations de cinéastes expérimentaux sont apparues et rendent pertinente la tenue d'un tel événement international. C'est Jacques Ledoux, jeune conservateur de la Cinémathèque, qui finalise le projet.

Cette première année, la moitié des films présentés datent d'avant 1940 (ils sont non compétitifs) et permettent aux spectateurs de se forger une solide culture dans ce domaine . Selon André Thirifays, l'acteur Gérard Philipe serait resté dix jours pour découvrir, ébahi, ce cinéma.

Pour les années 1920 et 1930, l'Allemagne et la France dominent le panorama avec des films de Walter Ruttmann, Ernö Metzner, Oskar Fischinger, Hans Richter, Lotte Reiniger pour l'une, et Henri Chomette, Germaine Dulac, Luis Buñuel, Roger Livet, Alexandre Alexeïeff, pour l'autre.

La nouvelle école américaine, apparue en ces années 1940, figure en compétition : Maya Deren, , James Broughton, , les frères John Whitney, Sr.. et ; des films canadiens, tchèques, danois, anglais, italiens et suédois complètent le panorama.

Le Grand Prix du film expérimental va à  d'Oskar Fischinger (États-Unis, 1948), le grand prix du film poétique à Aubervilliers d'Éli Lotar (France, 1947). Sont également distingués l'Italien Luigi Veronesi, le Canadien Norman McLaren ou encore l'Américain Kenneth Anger.

1958 : EXPRMNTL à Bruxelles, deuxième édition du festival
Neuf ans seront nécessaires pour qu'une deuxième édition de ce festival voie le jour. Les raisons en sont multiples. En 1949, la relève est encore embryonnaire. Personne ne sait si les nouvelles pratiques expérimentales qui éclosent vont se développer durablement dans le temps et dans le monde. À la fin des années 1940 et au début des années 1950, les courants lettriste français et CoBra belge, ainsi que les cinéastes américains Maya Deren, Stan Brakhage ou Kenneth Anger commencent à faire parler d'eux. Dans les années 1950, le futur dramaturge allemand Peter Weiss, établi en Suède, réalise quelques films expérimentaux et publie un ouvrage, Cinémas d'avant-garde, dans lequel il formalise l'un des premiers corpus historiques du genre, et fournit des informations sur la scène suédoise. Il prend part au festival avec le film Enligt lag, qu'il a coréalisé avec Hans Nordenström .

Cinéastes et écoles apparaissent qui donnent matière à la tenue d'un festival international. Reste un problème à résoudre : celui du financement. Ledoux veut inviter les journalistes du monde entier afin d'obtenir une couverture de presse conséquente. Aidé d'André Thirifays et de Pierre Vermeylen (ministre de l'Intérieur à l'époque), Jacques Ledoux réalise, en toute indépendance, dans le cadre de l'Exposition universelle de Bruxelles, la deuxième édition de son festival. Sa définition change : selon le règlement de la compétition,  C'est là que l'appellation Exprmntl voit le jour. Le mot expérimental perd ses voyelles afin d'être lu et compris dans le monde entier.

Des articles de presse sont écrits sur cette édition, mais la plupart s'avèrent négatifs. La France s'illustrant par l'étroitesse d'esprit de ses critiques, comme le note François Thomas dans le post-scriptum (Quelles sources pour l'étude du court métrage français ?) de l'ouvrage qu'il a codirigé  : "Le court métrage expérimental, dans la période qui nous occupe, est à peu près passé sous silence, ou dénigré par la cinéphilie (pour exemple voir Claude de Givray, Bruxelles 58: C'est l'expérience qui manque le plus au film expérimental, Arts n ° 668, ). C'est ce que Dominique Noguez a appelé un cinéma expérimental fantôme. Les articles ne portent guère de discours global sur la tendance française, mais s'attachent plutôt aux rares programmes collectifs montrés en salle ou à des festivals internationaux (Bruxelles, Knokke-le-Zoute 1958, 1963 et 1967). La vraie floraison du discours sur le cinéma expérimental date des années 1968 et suivantes". Cependant, Kenneth Anger, qui a longuement séjourné en France dans les années 1950, et a été l'ami entre autres de Jean Cocteau, Henri Langlois ou Jean Boullet et dont les films plaisaient aux surréalistes, a été remarqué par la presse avant 1968 .
Pour les Belges, dont l'industrie cinématographique est plus artisanale que la française, les premiers grands cinéastes furent des expérimenteurs et/ou des documentaristes : Charles Dekeukeleire et Henri Storck. « Pour la Belgique, affirme ce dernier, l'importance du festival expérimental de Knokke tient aussi au fait qu'il était le seul véritable festival compétitif international digne de ce nom dans notre pays. S'il y avait eu des Knokke 6, 7, 8, il est certain qu'un ample mouvement de création libre et indépendante se serait développé en Belgique… » .

Il n'y a pas encore de doxa dans cette deuxième édition et de très nombreux pays sont en compétition. La France avec Albert Pierru, Roger Livet, Georges Franju, Henri Gruel, Jean-Daniel Pollet, Jean Mitry, Agnès Varda…, mais aucun film lettriste ! Le Belge Marcel Broodthaers présente un film . Une importante sélection polonaise est présentée (dont seuls Roman Polanski et Walerian Borowczyk connaîtront la reconnaissance internationale) et une autre sélection venue d'Argentine, oubliée actuellement. Le milieu américain, manquant encore d'organisation, présente, déjà, de nombreux cinéastes qui formeront le gros des troupes de l'underground : Marie Menken, Robert Breer, Kenneth Anger ou Stan Brakhage.

Dom de Walerian Borowczyk et Jan Lenica reçoit le Grand Prix, le deuxième prix va au vétéran Len Lye pour Free Radicals. Polanski, mais aussi l'Argentin , obtiennent également des prix. Stan Brakhage est gratifié du Prix du jury pour l'ensemble des films qu'il présente. C'est lors de ce festival que Brakhage rencontre Peter Kubelka, comme en témoigne une photographie au pied de l'Atomium, bière en main, de deux des futurs fondateurs (avec Jonas Mekas) de l'Anthology Film Archives, qui avaient, chacun, des films en compétition.

1963 : EXPRMNTL 3
En 1963 et 1967, le festival devient un révélateur non seulement de l'art nouveau, mais également de l'évolution des mœurs. L'underground américain triomphe dans la littérature, la poésie, le cinéma ; c'est aussi les débuts du pop art. En 1962, Jonas Mekas et quelques amis ont fondé, à New York, la , véritable machine de guerre qui assure la diffusion, la défense, puis la théorisation du New American Cinema, par les réalisateurs et penseurs du groupe eux-mêmes.

Le cinéaste d'animation Robert Lapoujade représente la France ainsi que Jean-Daniel Pollet avec son intrigant moyen métrage Méditerranée. La Nouvelle Vague brouille les pistes : certains festivaliers pensent que c'est un courant expérimental. Jean-Luc Godard et Agnès Varda sont invités : ils n'interviennent pas dans les débats. Le préjugé qui tend à accréditer cette thèse sera si vivace dans l'intelligentsia internationale qu'en 1974 les critiques et cinéastes autrichiens  et
Ernst Schmidt jr., n'évoquent ni le lettrisme ni Guy Debord dans les pages de leur abécédaire consacrées à la France, des années 1920 aux courts métrages de Georges Franju, Alain Resnais, Jean-Luc Godard, Chris Marker) . La France, mais aussi l'Italie, seront, dans les trois dernières éditions de Knokke, des pays sous-représentés. Une bonne sélection japonaise fait connaître le nom de Iimura Takahiko dans le monde et aussi aux Américains.

L'Autrichien Peter Kubelka fait la connaissance lors de cette édition de Jonas Mekas ; une longue complicité unira, par la suite, les deux hommes. La troisième édition d'Exprmntl est marquée par le scandale causé par l'interdiction de projection publique du film Flaming Creatures de Jack Smith (1963), qui présente quelques nudités. Des tensions surgissent entre les cinéastes et les organisateurs (souvent des institutionnels) qui doivent ménager la liberté d'expression et les lois du pays. Mekas fait un tel raffut que le film est projeté en séances privées nombreuses et houleuses.

Le malaise s'accentue lorsque le long métrage allemand Die Parallelstrasse, de , reçoit le Grand Prix. Ce film semi-narratif est désavoué par les Américains et Kubelka est outré . Pourtant, ce prix est révélateur d'au moins deux choses : la forte présence allemande lors de cette édition et, aussi, le fait que Die Parallelstrasse est le premier long métrage issu du  (1962) qui marque la naissance du Nouveau cinéma allemand. Les Américains Stan Vanderbeek et Gregory Markopoulos sont néanmoins récompensés. Coup de théâtre diplomatique : le jury de la sélection attribue le prix spécial du film maudit à  de Jack Smith.

Les Américains se montrent d'abord dubitatifs envers le festival. Jonas Mekas écrit dans sa chronique du Village Voice daté du  : « Sitney et moi sommes mêmement d'avis qu'en dehors des films américains il n'y avait qu'un cinéaste authentique au festival : un Autrichien, Peter Kubelka. Il avait un film de 90 secondes, Schwechater, et c'était un petit chef-d'œuvre. Le reste des films inscrits, d'Europe, d'Asie ou d'Amérique du Sud, étaient des œuvres dépassées, redondantes, banales, imitatives, d'amateur. »
. Quatre ans plus tard,  corrige le tir dans la revue  : « Knokke-le-Zoute se dresse comme l'unique point de ralliement des cinéastes d'avant-garde internationaux ». En 1975, Sitney et Annette Michelson gratifient le festival d'un éloge sans failles dans Artforum

1967 : EXPRMNTL 4
Cette quatrième édition  s'ouvre à des territoires et à des disciplines bien plus vastes que ceux du cinéma expérimental : happenings, musique expérimentale, théâtre, conférences, mais, aussi, intervention d'activistes gauchistes allemands qui interrompent certaines projections (notamment Quand l'embryon part braconner de Koji Wakamatsu). Dans  Une jeunesse allemande  (2015), Jean-Gabriel Périot montre des archives rares dans lesquelles Holger Meins et des membres de l'SDS contestent le film de Wakamatsu. Bardon recontextualise les faits : « Mais le film (The Embryo) est projeté sans sous-titres et le message n'apparaît pas clairement au public. Traité de sadique, de fasciste et de misogyne, Wakamatsu est pris à revers de ses intentions ; la plupart des spectateurs sont outrés. Quelques-uns, des militants socialistes allemands, perturbent même la projection, rassemblés devant l'écran, scandant des slogans pour la Révolution culturelle. L'affaire, qui amuse beaucoup Wakamatsu, lui vaudra un certain succès. » . Incompréhension entre les militants politiques et les avant-gardistes. Ce type de débat anticipe sur les futurs événements de mai 68.

De nouveaux cinéastes belges se font connaître dont Roland Lethem, Patrick Hella, Michel Thirionet, qu'on groupe à l'époque sous le nom de « cinéma de la flibuste . L'historien Grégory Lacroix requalifie ce courant de « Mouvance provoc' » .
La France est représentée par Martial Raysse mais aussi par L'Authentique Procès de Carl-Emmanuel Jung de Marcel Hanoun. Jean-Jacques Lebel, dont le film L'État normal, un « collage de happenings », est refusé par le festival est néanmoins invité à Knokke pour participer aux colloques sur l'art. Il va créer la polémique et la contestation».

La présence des Allemands  et Werner Nekes, ainsi que la découverte de l'Anglo-américain Stephen Dwoskin (qui reçoit un prix pour l'ensemble des films présentés), mettent sur le devant de la scène de grands noms de l'expérimental européen. Venu des États-Unis où il avait participé aux travaux du New American Cinema, Dwoskin sera un des fondateurs de la , suivant le modèle de la Film-Makers' Cooperative de Mekas, c'est-à-dire une structure destinée à la distribution, par les cinéastes eux-mêmes, de leurs films. Cette coopérative avait la particularité, de posséder dans ses locaux un laboratoire de développement de pellicule, elle sera pionnière dans la genèse du « mouvement des laboratoires » qui se développera dans les décennies suivantes en Europe et dans le monde. En France, c'est la Cellule d'intervention Metamkine qui en sera la propagatrice .

Le Grand prix, attribué à Wavelength, du Canadien Michael Snow (qui rejoindra la scène du cinéma expérimental américain), crée l'événement, intéresse et intrigue beaucoup de monde. Ce film, composé d'un (faux) travelling de 45 minutes qui s'attarde sur divers éléments annexes (comme un individu qui rentre dans le champ, un téléphone qui sonne), marque le début (non encore théorisé) du cinéma structurel. Selon , qui théorise ce concept deux ans plus tard, . Un autre grand maître du genre, Paul Sharits, est présent avec deux films : Ray Gun Virus et Peace Mandala/ End War.

Le cinéma expérimental commence à avoir une certaine visibilité internationale. En 1965 est créé, en France, le Festival international du jeune cinéma de Hyères, ouvert, dès le début, aux « films différents et/ou dysnarratifs » de Philippe Garrel ou de Jean-Pierre Lajournade, et qui développe, à partir de 1973, une section dénommée Cinéma différent, consacrée à toutes les formes de l'expérimental cinématographique.

Avant de se rendre à Knokke, P. Adams Sitney parcourt l'Europe avec une sélection représentative de films américains. En , il présente en collaboration avec Henri Langlois, à la Cinémathèque française, une manifestation intitulée « Avant-garde pop et beatnik ». Quelques années plus tard, Peter Kubelka organisera une rétrospective plus internationale, sous le titre d'Une histoire du cinéma qui sera programmée, notamment, à l'ouverture du Centre Pompidou, en 1977.
Suite à Exprmntl 4, Gregory Markopoulos aura droit à deux articles dans les Cahiers du cinéma.

1974 : EXPRMNTL 5, la fin d'une époque
En 1974, le milieu du cinéma expérimental est bien organisé dans le monde et, surtout, aux États-Unis et en Europe. Les festivals qui lui sont, soit partiellement soit totalement, dévolus augmentent. Le film expérimental a droit de cité dans un grand nombre de festivals de courts métrages. Des coopératives se sont créées qui diffusent ce type de films ; les musées vont bientôt les programmer et les acheter. L'importance de Exprmntl se relativise . Par ailleurs, le courant structurel domine et oblitère d'autres sensibilités.

Cette domination se fait sentir lors de la cinquième et dernière édition de Knokke où un nombre important de grands noms sont absents. Ce sont des épigones qui prennent le relais : travaux scolaires mais parfois œuvres inspirées, avec l'Allemand Ed Sommer et les Britanniques ,  et Tony Sinden; ces cinéastes remplissent le « cahier des charges », parfois avec habileté, mais souvent de manière académique. Toutefois, de grands films sont créés à partir de cette matrice : Kaskara, de  (1974), Strukturelle Studien, de Birgit et Wilhelm Hein (1974), Makimono de Werner Nekes (1974), ou, encore, le surprenant film japonais, Alchemy, de Tsuneo Nakai (1971). Pour revenir aux sources, Ledoux programme une intégrale du maître américain du genre, Hollis Frampton, qu'il considère comme le plus grand cinéaste expérimental vivant .

Les Belges gardent intact leur goût de la provocation. Un mini scandale a lieu autour du film Vase de noces, de Thierry Zéno, qui décrit les amours d'un homme et d'une truie. Hors compétition, Roland Lethem attire l'attention avec une œuvre très corrosive : «Du côté belge, La Tête d'un frère (1974) de Roland Lethem mérite l'attention : dédié par son auteur à Holger Meins, membre de la Fraction armée rouge mort en prison peu de temps auparavant, il s'agit là d'une des très rares propositions politiques du festival [...] Tandis qu'à l'écran un canard est étranglé, dans la salle le cinéaste débouche des bocaux contenant des abats d'animaux vieux de plusieurs mois : une agression motivée du spectateur».

, installation de l'Américain Anthony McCall, apparaît, avec le recul, comme une œuvre très novatrice. C'est le faisceau lumineux même de la projection, dans un lieu sombre, qui est l'objet mouvant et en expansion de cette création. Les spectateurs sont priés de tourner le dos à l'écran et de suivre l'évolution du faisceau, qui devient un cône lumineux, à la fois poreux et dense.

Peu présents à Knokke (à l'exception notable de Peter Kubelka en 1958 et 1963 et Ernst Schmidt jr. en 1967), les Autrichiens concurrent avec un seul film cette année-là, Walk de Kurt Matt. Le développement du cinéma expérimental autrichien sera phénoménal dans les années qui suivent, grâce notamment au cinéaste, critique et théoricien Peter Tscherkassky qui écrit un livre de fond sur ce cinéma . Avec ses collègues Martin Arnold, Gustav Deutsch et Dietmar Brehm, ils promeuvent une forme de cinéma envoûtant basé sur le found footage. L'association  joue un rôle capital dans ce développement grâce à ses réseaux internationaux et à ses éditions de DVD.

Le festival présente, hors compétition, un important panorama d'art vidéo, mais demeure fermé aux œuvres tournées en Super 8, format utilisé, pourtant, par de nombreux artistes et cinéastes d'alors, créateurs reconnus depuis. Il faut se remettre dans l'esprit de l'époque, où il était difficile de savoir prendre, à temps, les bons virages, car on n'avait pas le recul nécessaire pour tout prévoir et juger, sur le champ, sans le recul nécessaire, de ce que serait l'avenir de cette forme de cinéma très ouverte.

À plusieurs reprises, le festival devait renaître, mais, pour des raisons culturelles, ailleurs qu'à Knokke-le-Zoute. « Les premières démarches ont lieu en 1978-1979, en vue d'organiser l'événement en 1980. Mais un problème surgit d'emblée : pour des raisons communautaires et linguistiques typiquement belges, le festival ne peut plus avoir lieu à Knokke. Du moins en français, car dans cette ville de Flandres les événements culturels recevront désormais leurs subventions exclusives de la Communauté flamande, et celle-ci n'entend pas soutenir une manifestation dont l'organisation est principalement francophone. »

Grâce à ce festival, le cinéma expérimental est devenu plus familier, sur le terrain de la pensée, tout en étant encore, jusqu'à sa dernière édition, marginalisé par la critique, date à laquelle les choses commencent à changer.

Jean-Marie Buchet écrit à ce sujet : « Quand on relit les réactions critiques aux différents compétitions du film expérimental, on est d'abord frappé par le ton, presque unanime, de déception exhalé par les auteurs, mais tout de suite on s'aperçoit qu'il vient du fait que la plupart jaugent cette manifestation selon les mêmes critères que les autres festivals et qu'il n'est provoqué par conséquent que par un malentendu qui tient dans le propre chef de ses victimes. La raison d'être d'une pareille manifestation n'était pas de nous offrir une vitrine d'œuvres accomplies, mais des films capables de susciter une réflexion nouvelle (quelle qu'en soit la direction) sur le fait cinématographique». De nos jours, c'est un fait acquis .

Cette première édition, véritable acte fondateur du nouveau cinéma expérimental, offre un panorama géographique et historique équilibré. Le pionnier allemand, Oskar Fischinger, qui tourne depuis près de vingt ans, est honoré, mais également le passeur d'origine écossaise, Norman McLaren, établi, depuis le début de la décennie, au Canada, qui débuta dans les années 1930 en Angleterre et devint une figure incontournable du cinéma d'animation, avant que son œuvre ne revienne, depuis une vingtaine d'années, sur la scène expérimentale. Le cinéma abstrait est représenté par les nouveaux venus James et John Whitney, pionniers de l'utilisation de l'ordinateur analogique dans leurs créations, et de l'Italien Luigi Veronesi, figure marquante de l'ère post-futuriste .Une icône du futur cinéma underground américain, Kenneth Anger, est aussi de la partie.

1958

Prix officiels
 Premier grand prix Gevaert : Dom (Walerian Borowczyk, Pologne, 1958).
 Second grand prix : Free Radicals (Len Lye, États-Unis, 1958).
 Prix de la compétition internationale du film expérimental :
 Chansons sans paroles (Yoram Gross, Israël, 1958), Deux hommes et une armoire (Roman Polanski, Pologne, 1958), Gyromorphosis (, États-Unis, 1956), Highway (, États-Unis, 1958), N.Y., N.Y.  (Francis Thompson, États-Unis, 1957), Sinfonia en no bémol, Rodolfo Kuhn, Argentine, 1958).

Autres prix
 Prix de la Fédération internationale des ciné-clubs (FICC) : L'Opéra-Mouffe (Agnès Varda, France, 1958).
 Prix du jury de sélection : Stan Brakhage pour l'ensemble de ses films présentés à la compétition (États-Unis) :
 The Way to Shadow Garden (1954),  Reflections on Black (1955), In Between (1955), Flesh of Morning (1956), Anticipation of the Night (1958).
 Prix de l'Âge d'or : Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome (Kenneth Anger, États-Unis, 1954).

L'éclectisme est au rendez-vous de cette deuxième édition. Il n'y a pas encore de doxa, et le cinéma d'animation agressif et, visuellement novateur, impressionne : Walerian Borowczyk est primé. Le vétéran Néo-Zélandais, Len Lye, qui débuta dans les années 1920 et devint une figure incontournable du cinéma expérimental, est aussi de la fête. La distinction de l'œuvre émergente de Stan Barkhage marque une étape importante pour la reconnaissance de ce cinéma. Anticipation of the Night est un film totalement novateur qui ne doit plus rien aux avant-gardes historiques européennes. Petits bémols : Peter Kubelka, présent avec deux films, n'est pas distingué. On peut également s'étonner de l'absence de films lettristes (Traité de bave et d'éternité, d'Isidore Isou, 1951 ; Le Film est déjà commencé ? de Maurice Lemaître, 1951 ; Hurlements en faveur de Sade, de Guy Debord, 1952), réalisés, pourtant, entre la première et la deuxième édition du festival.

1963

Prix officiels
 Grand prix Gevaert : Die Parallelstrasse, , Allemagne, 1962).
 Prix Bell Telephone : Breathdeath (Stan Vanderbeek, États-Unis, 1962-1963).
 Prix Baron Lambert : Twice a man (Gregory Markopoulos, États-Unis, 1963).
 Prix Comte de Launoit : Le Nez (Alexandre Alexeieff et Claire Parker, France 1963).
 Prix Solvay : Renaissance (Walerian Borowczyk, France, 1963).
 Prix Radio Télévision Belge : À tout prendre (Claude Jutra, Canada, 1963).
 Prix Belgische Radio en Televisie : Madeleine Madeleine (Vlado Kristl, Allemagne, 1963).

Autres prix
 Prix spécial du film maudit : Flaming Creatures (Jack Smith, États-Unis, 1963).
 Prix à l'ensemble de la sélection japonaise : A House (Sakio Hirata, 1963),  An eater (Kazutomo Fuzino, 1963), Onan (Takahiko Iimura, 1963),  The Sand (Yōichi Takabayashi, 1963), Nihon no Mon-Yo (Naoya Yoshida, 1963) et deux films du critique américain Donald Richie, établi sur place ( War Games , 1962 et  Futari, 1963).
 Prix de l'Âge d'or à Claes Oldenburg pour l'ensemble des films consacrés aux happenings :
 Nekropolis 1 (Raymond Saroff, États-Unis, 1963), Pat's Birthday (Robert Breer et Claes Oldenburg, États-Unis, 1962-1963), Scarface and Aphrodite (Vernon Zimmerman, États-Unis, 1963), Voyage II World's Fair II 'Happenings' (Raymond Saroff, États-Unis, 1962).

 Prix de la Fédération internationale des ciné-clubs : Renaissance (Walerian Borowczyk, France, 1963).
 Prix de la Commission supérieure technique du cinéma belge : Thanatopsis (Ed Emshwiller, États-Unis, 1962).

Cette édition marque le début de l'âge d'or du cinéma underground américain : Gregory Markopoulos, Stan Venderbeek, Ed Emshwiller se retrouvent au menu de divers palmarès. L'acharnement que met Mekas à défendre le film de Jack Smith crée, également, dans ce sens, un effet médiatique sans précédent. Avec Alexeieff et Borowczyk, l'animation est également distinguée. Le Grand Prix revient toutefois à un film atypique, Die Parallestrasse, de Ferdinand Khittl, ce qui désoriente les puristes. Cette œuvre introduit une dimension essayiste et documentaire par le biais d'un propos vaguement science-fictionnel. Ce sera le premier long métrage allemand à être primé dans un festival international depuis la fin de la guerre

1967

Prix officiels
 Grand prix Gevaert-Agfa : Wavelength (Michael Snow, États-Unis, 1967).
 Prix Bell Telephone : Selbstschusse (Lutz Mommartz, Allemagne, 1967).
 Prix Baron Lambert : Grateful Dead (, États-Unis, 1967).
 Prix Radio Télévision Belge : Besöket (Ake Ärenhill, Suède, 1965).
 Prix Solvay attribué à Stephen Dwoskin, pour l'ensemble des films présentés au cours de la compétition (Chinese Checkers, Naissant, Soliloquy, Grande-Bretagne, 1965-1967).

Autres prix
Warum hast Du mich wach geküsst ? , Allemagne, 1967),
Hummingbird (Charles A. Csuri et James P. Schaffer, États-Unis, 1967),
Fog Pumas ( et Dorothy Wiley, États-Unis, 1967),
Entretien (Michel Thirionet, Belgique, 1967),
Self Obliteration (, États-Unis, 1967).

 Prix de la Fédération internationale des ciné-clubs : The Room (Mordi Gerstein, États-Unis, 1967),
 Prix du jury de sélection : Altisonans (Karl-Birger Blomdahl, Suède, 1966).
 Prix de l'Âge d'or : The Big Shave (Martin Scorsese, États-Unis, 1967).

Le cinéma expérimental est devenu une réalité culturelle incontournable, encore largement dénommé underground, en ces années de contestation et de contreculture galopantes. Les choix des jurys sont presque parfaits : Wavelengh est le film charnière, louvoyant entre le lyrisme des premiers temps et le rigorisme structurel à venir, qu'il fallait distinguer. La vigoureuse scène allemande est bien mise en avant par la présence de Lutz Mommartz et Helmuth Costard. Pour la première fois, un film belge, Entretien, de Michel Thirionet, est distingué. Le prix spécial attribué aux films de Stephen Dwoskin éclaire, à la fois, la mouvance britannique, et distingue le travail d'un très grand cinéaste. Cette édition restera, aussi, célèbre par la présence du « court métrage sanglant » de Martin Scorsese, The Big Shave, projeté un peu partout par la suite.

1974
 Prix Agfa Gevaert : Kaskara (Dore O, Allemagne, 1974).
 Prix Baron Lambert : Alchemy (Tsuneo Nakai, Japon, 1971).
 Prix du Centre belge du nouveau cinéma : Shonen Shiko (Mikio Okabe, Japon, 1973).
 Prix BRT/RTB : Noodle Spinner (Anna Ambroise, Grande-Bretagne, 1973).
 Prix Jean-Marie Josi : Line Describing a Cone (Anthony McCall, Grande-Bretagne, 1973).
 Prix Albert Frère : FM/TRCS (Colen FItzgibbon, États-Unis, 1974).
 Prix du centre expérimental du cinéma :
 Still Life With a pear (Mike Dunford, Grande-Bretagne, 1974), Vase de noce (Thierry Zéno, Belgique, 1974), Print Generation (J.J. Murphy, États-Unis, 1974), Kniephofstrass (réalisé par le Britannique Richard Woolley, Allemagne, 1974).
 Prix de l'association belge des auteurs de film : Assis sur une barrière (Jean van Helden, Belgique, 1974).
 Prix du jury de sélection : : V. W. – Vitesse Women (Claudine Eizykman, France, 1974).

Cette dernière édition du festival a probablement été, dans la hâte, mal jugée à l'époque. Kaskara, de Dore O ; Makimono, de Werner Nekes ou Alchemy, de Tsuneo Nakai sont des œuvres importantes dans lesquelles les auteurs ont tenté (et, souvent, réussi) d'acclimater les préceptes du cinéma structurel aux sensibilités de leurs pays d'origine. La présence de V. W. – Vitesse Women, de Claudine Eizykman, membre du nouveau mouvement coopératiste français et figure émergente de l'Université de Vincennes, ne peut cacher l'absence de Patrick Bokanowski, Philippe Garrel, Pierre Clémenti, Jackie Raynal, Jean-Pierre Lajournade, Michel Bulteau, Alain Fleischer, Piotr Kamler ou Jacques Monory. L'Italie, pourtant très active dans ces années-là, peu présente (Tonino De Bernardi et Alfredo Leonardi en 1967) mais aucun film de Massimo Bacigalupo, , Gianfranco Baruchello, ni de Paolo Gioli. Il s'agit, ici, d'un état des lieux tardif qui ne saurait remettre en cause le travail de défricheurs des divers sélectionneurs.

Work in Progress Season 3: Is It Rumour or Fact?
Tuesday, 12 October 2021, 09:23 IST
Source: The Cinemaholic
Work in Progress is a Showtime series that hit the screens on December 8, 2019, and Abby McEnany and Tim Mason created it. With this, many more people have given their best to bring out the plot in its truest form; it includes writer and executer McEnany, Mason, and Lilly Wachowski.
The show has received good reviews until now, so there are chances that it might come forward with season 3. So, before we get into the details of this article, let's jump back and see what all happened in the last season.
Work in Progress Season 2 Rewind!
In the previous season of 'Work in Progress, we found Abby moving in with Campbell, and with this, she also needs to deal with her depression and break up. And to get our all this mental stress, she is also looking for some good therapist.
The season showed us many ups and downs in Abby's life, but then too, she took up the decision of rising back again, but the things didn't favor Campbell and Abby as pandemics hit the world. And this brings us to the major shot of the season that is the finale, where Abby has to make decisions that might not be as easy to deal with as it seems to be. So, she thinks of nothing else except following her heart.
The Cast of Work in Progress Seasons Uptilll Now!
Now, let's move on to giving credits to all the hard-working actors before getting into the speculations about the upcoming track.
So, the cast includes Abby McEnany, who has fictionalized herself just to find a new lease on life. With that, we have Karin Anglin and Celeste Pechous, who come up as Alison and Campbell, respectively. And then we have Theo Germaine, who is playing Chris, who is playing the role of Abby's love interest, and Julia Sweeney, who also follows the work same as that of Abby by being a fictionalized version of herself.
We are hopeful that we might get to see new faces in season 3, but there are certain actors who keep recurring, as Mary Sohn (Susan), Echaka Agba (Melanie), Gerard Neugent (Mike), and Armand Fields (King) are likely to continue appearing as well.
Updates on Work in Progress Season 3!
Source: Tell-Tale TV
The upcoming track of Work in Progress seems to be quite a lot focusing on the aftermath of Abby's decisions. It will also reveal her mental status as well as her fate that might take some positive turn. But as we know that she is trying her best to get along with her past by making peace with it, there can be chances that she will be able to make amends with her life and accept all the upcoming challenges positively.
It is quite possible that the upcoming season will have many new drama-filled scenes, but the handling will be all dependent on Abby's part.
Other Information About The Show!
As we already told you, the show has got good critical appraisals as of now for its last seasons. However, it received a low rating during the first broadcast, but this doesn't mean that it will come back with the new installation. There are chances that the created are working on the script, or maybe the viewership is being reviewed.
But this seems to be a positive turn for the show, as it might come up with the new season altogether. Till then, we can just wait for any other official news on that. 'Work in Progress' Season 2 came out on Showtime on August 22, 2021, and was wrapped up on October 10, 2021.
Hope to see more of the updates in the coming time, as it might help us let you know what the new season is holding for you!

In 1933 Hitler's Nazi party passed an act now known as "The Enablement Act", this act allowed them to pass any law they saw fit or to alter any law. Upon this crucial first step for nazism hung all the evil that followed; without it Hitler would not have had the complete control he wielded. It bears direct comparison with the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill that is presently passing through parliament.
It must be stopped, please write to your MP's and the poltical parties.
If you need more food for thought read this commentary on the Bill.

Though the field of Spanish heritage language (SHL) studies has seen a boom in research, such research has not yet addressed the materials available for SHL classes. This dissertation fills a gap in previous research by addressing the representation of US Latinos and US varieties of Spanish in the SHL context. The current study involves a critical discourse analysis (CDA) of the presentation of both culture and language in intermediate level university SHL textbooks, in order to show how such texts present US Spanish-speaking people's culture and their language varieties. Previous research on both history and Spanish as a foreign language textbooks show that US Latino populations in such texts are frequently reduced to numbers, faceless statistics or stereotypes (Arizpe & Aguirre, 1987; Cruz, 1994; Elissondo, 2001; Ramírez and Hall, 1990; Rodríguez and Ruiz, 2005; and van Dijk, 2004a; 2004b). Additionally, previous analyses of the presentation of Spanish in Spanish foreign language (SFL) textbooks show SFL texts provide "…varying or misleading intuitions about dialects of Spanish" (Wieczorek 1992, p.34; see also Fonseca-Greber & Waugh, 2003). This dissertation corroborates these findings in the SHL context and presents suggestions for improving the quality of materials used in the SHL context. The results of the current study clearly parallel those found by van Dijk (2004b); though the texts present "factual" information, it is the selective presentation of this information that culminates in an overall negative representation of immigrant and minority cultures, which is rooted in a metonymical understanding of what it means to be immigrant. Additionally, all the texts continue to promote a pseudo-Castilian variety of Spanish, while delegating student varieties of the language to appropriate home contexts. This bidialectal treatment of US varieties of Spanish excludes critical based dialect awareness altogether. This dissertation addresses the need to both improve and develop "…pedagogically sound textbooks and new technology materials designed to meet the Hispanic bilingual student's linguistic needs" (Roca, 1997, pp.37-43). It is only through critical discourse analysis that we can assure that textbooks are indeed presenting a positive image of US Latinos and their language to students enrolled in university SHL classes.

Home Arts & Entertainment 3OH!3 talks guilty pleasures, Jimmy John's
3OH!3 talks guilty pleasures, Jimmy John's
Marlee Lisker
3OH!3 came on the music scene five years ago with advice that would define a generation through the hit single "Don't Trust Me." Since then, they've kept listeners dancing with their lively beats and catchy lyrics.
Now they're back with a new album, "Omens," which hits stores June 18, just in time for Warped Tour. The music video for their new single, "Back To Life," features a mock robbery. The band holds up a seafood counter using a fish instead of a gun.
The Miami Hurricane got the chance to sit down with Sean Foreman and Nathaniel Motte about their new single, musical roots and where their passions truly lie.
The Miami Hurricane: What was the idea behind the video for "Back to Life?"
Nathaniel Motte: I actually wrote that scenario a while ago and just had it sitting around. It's representative of our sense of humor. It's kind of ironic and weird and funny.
TMH: And what was the inspiration for the song? It has a different vibe from some of your past songs.
Sean Foreman: That was the first song we wrote toward this new album. A lot of people know us because of our singles, which are very dance-driven, but a lot of the songs on our albums are very different. It still has what we like to do with 3OH!3, which is have fun and present energy in a song, but it's a different tempo … I would describe it as a party ballad.
TMH: How do you think your new album, "Omens," is different from albums you've released in the past?
NM: Most of the songs go back to how we started making music and that's just me and Sean in my basement in Colorado. We collaborated … with some producers and songwriter friends of ours for a few of the tracks, but really we consciously wanted to pull everything back, use all the knowledge that we've learned and apply it to our music.
TMH: Going back to your roots for a second, how did you get started in the music business?
NM: We met on Match.com: "Man seeking man for boy band."
SF: We met back in college at CU. We had similar taste in music.
TMH: Do you guys have any musical guilty pleasures?
NM: I don't believe in guilty pleasures. I only believe in pleasures … We both came from a place where for a while we were in an underground scene in music where it wasn't cool to like certain kinds of music. That's some people's attitude, but I don't think for me it's the right one because I think you should like music for the music that you like.
TMH: When did each of you realize music was something you wanted to pursue as a career?
NM: Even in the early phases of our operation, music was kind of a hobby. It only dawned on me that it could become a career later. We were on Warped Tour in 2008 and we had agreed to do the whole tour, but I was actually supposed to go to medical school right as the tour was ending. It was that summer that I faced a pretty big dilemma. I ended up deferring school and doing music and obviously I'm super happy that I did that.
SF: I always thought I would play music. I didn't know to what capacity or if I'd ever make money doing it … I wrote my first rap song when I was in fifth grade and to this day I still remember it. It's corny as hell.
TMH: If you hadn't gone into music, what career would you have wanted to have?
SF: I'd still be working at Jimmy John's, delivering sandwiches. I had a passion for that. I love the thrill of not knowing if you're going to get tips and the smell of a frat house in the morning when you're delivering a sandwich. That's really nice.
NM: Getting tipped in beer bongs?
SF: Getting tipped in beer bongs. Or not tipped at all. But, you know, it's the passion.

Cavendish frustrated by lack of new contract deal with HTC-Columbia

Mark Cavendish has expressed his frustration over HTC-Columbia's apparent unwillingness to offer him a new contract beyond 2011, when his current deal ends.

Specialized to sponsor HTC-Columbia in 2011?
Speaking in Delhi, where he will represent the Isle of Man in Sunday's Commonwealth Games road race, Cavendish contrasted the support he gets from the people around him to his relationship with the HTC-Columbia management .
"I've got great family, great friends, great teammates. It's nice. People around me appreciate when it's like that," Cavendish said of the huge expectations that now surround him. "I'm not sure if my team does. Not my team as a whole, but the manager. I've not been offered a new contract yet - I don't know why that is."
Cavendish continued: "I'm committed to a contract I signed a few years ago, [but] there's been no goodwill, no bonuses, nothing. I feel kind of abused for what I've achieved."
Asked if he remained committed to HTC for 2011, he said: "I'm contracted to do it and I've been told I'm contracted to do it, so I have to do it. At the end of the day, I'm never going to stop racing because I love racing and I'm going to race with my teammates because they love to race as well.
"Fundamentally, I ride my bike because I love to ride my bike," continued Cavendish. "But obviously [because of] the pressures, it's a normal person's life that I've lost. You should see the benefits coming with that, and I don't get them at the minute, and I'm a little bit disappointed at the minute with that."
Cavendish insisted that the Commonwealth Games remain important to him, four years after he won a gold medal in the scratch race at Melbourne. He said he had no doubts about travelling to Delhi, despite reported problems in the build-up to the Games.
"We're in India," said Cavendish. "It's not a Western country. "I think it's quite ignorant to assume we were going to going to be in a Western-style country. I've been to India before on holiday - I knew what it was going to be like."
"I think it's ignorant not to respect the way those countries are, it's how it is. The reason India's got the Commonwealth Games is because it's a developing country, so you can't expect it to be like going to Hong Kong or something."
"I was always committed. We've got a great team from the Isle of Man, a great group of people and I enjoy being with those people. I'm professional and I understand that I need a team to help me succeed, and you have to give back to that team for them to give to you."
"It doesn't matter what standard that is - whether you ride for Team Sky or whether you ride for the Isle of Man, you ride. You've got a team to work with so I'm here to ride with the guys and they'll give me 100% and I'll give them 100% and hopefully we'll do the Isle of Man proud."


I have a filtered Base table displayed in the 'Data Sources' box of a Form. How do I get the data to display in the form for editing? There are 36 records in the filtered table.
I want to edit data in each record and step to the next record. I think I may have an improper control setting somewhere but I have looked everywhere and punched all of the buttons. If it helps, this table is used for language translation and the data is text. It is destined to become a research document source for various presentation modes.
It matters no whether you are using individual fields or a table control. With individual fields you will want either a Navigator control on the form or turn on the toolbar item - View->Toolbars select Form Navigation.
Then you choose the wanted filtering and select OK.
Now your form is filtered for only those records and they can be modified and saved. Again, if you are using individual fields, the navigation bar will allow you to go to next, first, last, prior records within the filtered records.
If your form is not wide enough to display all the icons on the toolbar, there is >> on the right edge of the toolbar (this is a standard method). Select for remainder of icons.
First, this is where I was when I asked the question except that the filtered data does not fill the form as it does in your example. Second, your example toolbars are not like those of my form. How can I get the GUI that you are using? Mine doesn't have the navigation bar. It does have a Filter Navigator box but it doesn't seem to be connected to anything.
@wblueg Toolbars contain the same functions, but depending on how you have set your options, the icons may be different looking. They function identically. As mentioned in my answer, The navigation bar, if not already visible, can be made visible from the menu item View->Toolbars select Form Navigation. Also, I don't see where you ever mentioned which version of LO you are using? I do think you are on a Mac. Is that correct?
Yes to the Mac. Form Navigation does not produce a tool bar similar to yours. It does produce a tool bar allowing only Record Search. This works. All other sorting, filtering, etc functions are greyed out.
It appears you have the form open in Edit mode. Records cannot be navigated from there. Records cannot be accessed from there ether. Close and then open from main .odb by double clicking the form name.
You are right. Had it in edit mode. Been in and out of there all day. Sorry I didn't catch that. When in the working (?) mode the Filter navigator box comes up.
It appears that I am missing the 'Apply Form-Based Filter' Icon. Switching to the unfiltered view does show Base records and things work fine. But - its the filtered data I work in and the boxes are blank in the 'user' mode.
By using the filter box in the Form Properties dialog I can get the desired results for now. I don't know how this works longtime.
I am not able to find the Form-Based Filter icon in the Form Filter toolbar. I hesitate to say there is a glitch but - - it don't wurk fur me. Following the suggested documentation did not make it appear.
