Memories are not always of significant moments. There are the times in between, where we are who we are, in the places we live, with the people we surround ourselves with. In Kleber Mendonca Filho’s Neighboring Sounds, a well-to-do Brazilian family that populates a city block in Recife, Brazil, eats, sleeps, stares, eavesdrops, fights, make up, and continue to live their lives.

It could always be worse, though at times, that can be hard to believe. A mother pees herself to spite her son, beds ooze maggots, a prostitute poisons a string of dogs, simply because she can. With It Looks Pretty From a Distance, co-directors and married couple, Anka and Wilhelm Sasnal, have created a quietly towering work of sheer miserabilism.

If you happen to be heading to Berlin from October 10-21, you have to check out the annual Festival of Lights. Taking the whole light show thing to the next level, the entire city will be lit up like a Christmas tree. Using light and video projections, as well as interactive and static installations to transform the city, the 12 day festival also has other arts and cultural events, live jazz and shopping sales going on at the same time. Yet another great reason to visit Berlin.

It’s not often we write about candy, actually, this may be the first time. But sometimes candy is worth talking about, especially when there is some tongue and cheek controversy involved. The other day I was at the beach and a pal offered me a box of Mike and Ike. Like most, I grew up with these chewy fruit-flavoured candies and I was excited to indulge in a favourite past-time snack. They tasted just as delicious as I remembered, but something was different – Ike’s name was scratched out on the box. Have Mike and Ike split? What is going on?
