unDer fire:<br />
Journalists in<br />
coMBat<br />
by Martyn Burke<br />
Only two journalists were killed in World War I. Iraq has<br />
so far claimed 120. The recent Libyan uprising has<br />
already claimed the lives of four and global conflict looks<br />
set to continue … War journalism has become an<br />
increasingly lethal endeavour. Not only are correspondents<br />
viewed as targets, they are often subject to kidnappings,<br />
torture and even beheadings. Under Fire<br />
weaves together portraits of these journalists and photo-<br />
graphers; those who have survived physically, but<br />
have succumbed emotionally to what they have witnessed.<br />
Inspired by the work of Dr Anthony Feinstein,<br />
the psychiatrist who has been on retainer to many of the<br />
world’s major news networks and publications, Under<br />
Fire looks at the psychological cost of war as seen<br />
through the eyes of combat journalists whose stories<br />
make up this powerful and unique film.<br />

unfinisHeD spaces<br />
by alysa nahmias<br />
In 1961, three young, visionary architects were commissioned<br />
by Fidel Castro and Che Guevara to build<br />
Cuba’s National Art Schools. Construction of their radical<br />
designs began immediately and the school’s first classes<br />
soon followed. Dancers, musicians and artists from<br />
all over the country revelled in the beauty of the schools,<br />
but as the dream of the Revolution quickly became a<br />
reality, construction was abruptly halted. The architects<br />
and their designs were deemed irrelevant to the<br />
Revolution. Forty years later the schools are in use, but<br />
remain unfinished and decaying. Castro has since<br />
invited the exiled architects back to Cuba to finish their<br />
unrealised dream. Composed primarily of archival<br />
footage and candid interviews with the architects them-<br />
selves, Unfinished Spaces illustrates a nation’s evolution<br />
through the life of a single architectural project.<br />
