This event will feature exhibitions, conferences, concerts, and children’s workshops. 29 January – 23 March Family of Man 2007 - Connecting cultures 29 Jan–15 Feb, Lycée Aline Mayrisch / Geessekneppchen, Luxembourg Ville. 16 Feb–26 Feb, Nikolaus von Kues Gymnasium, Bernkastel Kues. 26 Feb–9 Mar, Lycée technique du Centre Luxembourg, Luxembourg Ville. 12 Mar-23 Mar, Lycée technique Josy Barthel, Mamer.

Bistrot littéraire “Belles Roumanies 2007” KulturFabric, Esch Literary event on Romanian poetry with Ana Blandiana, Emil Brumaru and Pierre Joris (Luxembourgish guest) and Alexandru Calinescu moderating. Ana Blandiana was born in 1942 near to Timisoara, and now lives in Bucharest. After the publication of her first poem, she was denounced as a “daughter of the enemy of the people” and therefore lost her right to further education for 4 years and to publish further works. In 1964, she published her first works of poetry and enjoyed immediate success due to her ability to write in a pure and simple style about subjects such as death and survival, and desirous love. Born in 1939, in Soviet Moldova, Emil Brumaru, medically trained, has been dedicated to writing poetry for many years. His 1st poetry volume was published in 1970, systematically eluding communist censureship, with a baroque style and provocative humour. His poetry is ingenious, with erotic symbolism which penetrates daily life. He is one of the most important and little known poets of Romania. Pierre Joris left Luxembourg at the age of 19 and has since resided in England, Algeria, France and the USA. He has published over 20 poetry compendiums incuding some in French. He has made many translations into French and into English, and has published with Jérôme Rothenberg, an anthology of 2 volumes of avant-garde poetry which spans the 20th century from the world over. Since1992, he has been teaching at New York University in Albany. Film 9 March Philharmonie, 1, place de l’Europe, Luxembourg Ville, 26 02 27-1, 20h, €18, The Cinémathèque presents “Live Cinema”.

Every scene was shot in a single take and the whole film took just 3 days to shoot.

And once our Audrey has the taste, it isn’t satisfied with bleeding Seymour into an anaemic state. “Feed me More!” Seymour is given the choice between loads of money but feeding his plant body parts, or coming clean… The tangled plot thickens as the man-eating plant continues to attract attention - and dollars - all the while getting fatter. “I didn’t mean it!” Whoever does?

At last summer’s World Cup in Germany, organisers impressed with a tournament under the banner “A time to make friends”. They had kept violent confrontations to a minimum with a zero tolerance policy and had worked closely with other European police forces. So, it is ironic that after all their hard work the resurfacing of hooliganism should begin in Germany. To add insult to injury, the main culprits are based in one of the host cities. Over the past few months, fans of Lok Leipzig and other lower league clubs have seized matches as opportunities to destroy stadiums and go on violent rampages through the towns of opposing teams. All these incidences have culminated in the events that unfolded in February, which saw 800 fans clash with riot police ending in 36 police officers in hospital. Despite this, there are prominent people in German football who do not believe that hooliganism is a threat to the federation. One Bundesliga manager argued that larger incidents have so far been isolated to Eastern Germany and confined to lower league encounters. Further suggesting that the problems are born out of the economic difficulties that much of the region faces, rather than a change for the worse within the football fan bases. But, the situation in Italy tells a different story. Here, violence in and around stadiums during Series A games has grown in such a way that the interior minister has intervened in forcing clubs to deal with the problem. The fact that most of the troublemakers, the ‘Ultras’ groups, are funded by the clubs themselves has not been ignored. The Italian clubs have, until now, allowed these fans to police the area of the ground, which they ‘own’ themselves, this has led to flares, missiles and on one occasion a moped to be thrown during matches. The government has now imposed strict new security regulations on clubs, which if not met will mean they will be forced to play games behind closed doors. Many clubs have argued that it will take them months until their stadiums conform to the new rules, but the government will not give in. Months of supporter violence culminated in the death of a policeman when a firebomb was thrown into his car. An empty stadium until safety can be assured is a small price to pay as punishment for the death a police officer. And on a lighter note… Our boys, in Luxembourg, have finally done it. After almost 12 gruelling years the national football team has won an official match. Around 800 fans braved the cold in Hesperange to witness the Red Lions come back from 1 – 0 down at half time to defeat Gambia 2 – 1 in a friendly in preparation for the upcoming European qualifier against Belarus. Luxembourg v Belarus will be at the Stade Josy Barthel, route d’Arlon, Luxembourg, 24th March,17h.
