Attractive professor Claire, 50, is a single mother of two children. Her relationship with her younger lover, a photographer, is difficult. To get back at him, she makes friends on Facebook with his assistant Alex, 29. Using a fake profile, she masquerades as 24-year-old Clara, and Alex takes the bait. As their flirty chat intensifies, Alex decides he wants to meet this woman of his dreams. Claire always manages to invent new excuses to keep him at bay in real life without alienating him online. Her children and her job fall by the wayside as she increasingly succumbs to the allure of her parallel world – until realities begin to blur and a disaster occurs.

A universal story of friendship, rebellion and the irresistible power of gathered youth, set to a soundtrack as eclectic and electrifying as the scene it gave birth to, Beats is a story for our time.

1994. Best mates Johnno and Spanner share a deep bond, forged through childhood. Now on the cusp of adulthood, life is destined to take them in very different directions.

Antoine Roquentin, the protagonist of Sartre’s novel Nausea, feels confronted by the bare existence of things, objects either organic inanimate or man-made, experiencing fear and nausea when in contact with other people or their bodies.

Bozo Vrećo is one of the most famous contemporary singers and composers of the traditional Bosnian Sevdah music.

His castrato voice, with a range between lyric soprano and lyric tenor, is considered a gift of God by the public, and as such attracting lots of attention by the press in the Balkans and more and more throughout the world. His visual identity, defined by a feminine-masculine duality, perfectly complements his musical and artistic expression.

Božo´s highly unique a cappella interpretation of sad and tragical Sevdah love songs already quite early in his career resulted in his compositions being featured in theatre pieces and documentary movies. Even The New York Times referred to his "angel-like" voice and considered him and his work "a synonym for freedom".

Georgian folk songs get a new lease on life through the sonorous singing of Iberi, a six-person vocal and instrumental ensemble that explores the emotional potential of age-old polyphony and traditional instruments.

Songs reflect Georgian life, even as many Georgians move in cosmopolitan urban worlds, far from the farms, orchards and rural celebrations that birthed the music.

Iberi embrace every aspect of these traditions, including the toasts and feast songs that are intimately entwined with Georgia’s notoriously abundant hospitality, but also the urban folk songs, lullabies, liturgical chants, and historical ballads that still play important roles in everyday moments and grand occasions.

When Rafael Riqueni made a grand comeback to the stage after a long absence in his native Seville in 2014, he was received with a historic ‘olé’.  

On his début in Slovenia he will play his already classical flamenco repertoire of soleás, bulerías and tangos. Well accompanied by two other distinguished flamenco guitarists Salvador Gutiérrez and Manuel de la Luz he will present his new CD Parque de María Luisa: a lyrical walk through a park in Seville where the colours and smells of the city on the Guadalquivir come together.

Ghorbani’s voice can be tender, subdued and mournful and then rise to exalted improvisatory passages using skilful displays of tahrir, the rapturous yodelling technique of classical Persian singing. Alireza Ghorbani is the custodian of this remarkable voice, one of the most distinctive of the new generation of classical Persian singers. Born 1973 in Tehran, he learnt to recite the Qur’an at an early age, going on to study the tar (lute) and to master the numerous scales of Middle Eastern music.

Since emerging as a singer in the 90s, he has recorded dozens of albums, exploring and interpreting both classical and modern poetry and most recently gaining international recognition with his album of Persian love songs with kamancheh virtuoso Saman Samini.
