Angry at the academy and the oscars were considered too white. I disproportionate amount of people who do not look like me doing what i do. Protests on social media use the hash tag so white women true protestors that larry werent getting a fur deal at the oscar awards ceremony in 2019 despite all the protests it was mostly white men who took to the stage in 2020 and more positive signal from hollywood the south korean film parasites became the 1st Foreign Language movie to win best film. And our film experts got rockstro joins me once again from the Venice Film Festival to talk about the new oscar rules welcome scott in a nutshell just tell us what are these new requirements. Well the new comments and to be clear they only apply for nominees for best picture so only the very top award handed out by the oscars but these requirements are based require diversity at all levels in front of the camera but also in the production staff all the way to the people who market the film that they should there are very strict requirements for a degree of diversity in the cast in the director and all the way down basically if you dont have that degree of diversity you will not qualify for best picture and how surprised were you by this rule change. Quite a bit i knew that the academy wanted to make a change i didnt think it would be this this radical really will be interesting to see how this is received because this goes a lot further than i at least expected the academy do it shows that theyre quite serious about pushing hollywood to become more diverse ok so essentially this is a good thing obviously with the academy wanting to shed that also a white image but what impact might this have on the stories that filmmakers want to tell. Yes itll be interesting because i mean if you look just at the nominees for best picture this year 8 of the 10 wouldnt qualify under these new rules i mean films like a joke which which won best actor or Martin Scorsese the irishman but also a film like little women which many celebrated as a tribute. To female filmmaking because its only white women on screen it wouldnt qualify under the new diversity rules so itll be interesting to see what impact this will have and if we will start to see new and different stories and if certain stories might start to disappear from hollywood. Its very interesting obviously we were speaking earlier that divot diversity is a relative term it depends on the perspective that youre coming from but id like to go to another story thats flaring up again disneys new live action remake of moulin is facing boycott calls from activists for being partly at least filmed in the region in china where we muslims are being persecuted by the Chinese Government coming from our diversity discussion there heres a film that was hailed for its chinese story with an all chinese cast but tripping up for cozying up to beijing how big a problem is this for disney. A pretty big problem actually i mean hollywood the big studios at least have an issue with china theyre desperate to get into the Chinese Market its a huge market they need it to really make their film successful but the Chinese Government deterrent determines what films get in so hollywoods really bending over backwards and has been for years to do everything it can not to offend china and disney with thought to have the ideal type of film a chinese story with an all chinese cast ideal for the for the Chinese Market but because they shot in this area of china where alleged these these persecutions are taking place its really put them in a in a bad light im not sure if its actually going to hurt the film itself commercially but it definitely has hurt the image that disney has because no one wants to see what kind of an impact this controversy has had thanks very much for joining in tuning into i think and god will see you tomorrow scott roxboro in venice well next up we go back in time to the middle ages here in germany and a new exhibition in my aunts sheds light on the complicated power structures that were in that area at the time of charles the great of the king of the franks and the founder of the Holy Roman Empire in the year 800 well its been years in the making this exhibition and years since one of its central attractions has actually seen the light. This massive steel door protects one of the most valuable books in the world the codex manesar is 700 years old a collection of songs and poems from an entire era 800 elaborately decorated parchment pages with love as the central theme. Greets with singing the sweet ones i neither can nor want to avoid. This is the source for more than half of minutes and poetry. We very rarely then the book out to those people interested in seeing get up close this is really about the aura of the original. For the last time was 14 years ago now the codex manesar is going back on public view its been cushioned in shop and fireproof packaging for the journey its insured for 80000000 euros and has a police escort. And this is its new temporary home from charlemagne to Frederick Baba rasa the exhibition the kaisers and the pillars of the power in the land as museum minds examines the complicated network of relationships between emperors and kings and bishops and princes. And we want to show how the middle ages were different in fact only about 10 percent of the population belong to the pillars of society but it is just as important to us to show that they were always in a network of influence with each other so there was a process of negotiation that was not just based on orders and obedience the emperors power was limited. The funeral crown of empress of sway via the marriage certificate of farnell the acts. Reflects the importance of women in the middle ages as the pivot of court life. The woman is in charge she holds the court together even when the men are waging war and shes the guarantor of a courtly behavior that rises above desire and brutality. Women are objects of desire but at the same time the educators of man without the codex we would not have this perspective on the not so dark middle ages. And from literature back to cinema now a topic that is ever close to our hearts especially german cinema and television i think for very obvious reasons nowhere is it more evident that national tastes really do differ when you arrive here in germany as a foreigner for instance there are a number of lets call them idiosyncrasies to get your head around but there are also a great many gems.

Vienna in austria and new sounds absurd even but there are times when the cologne team might stop off for us not going to crash and burn them they have so big.

Many german in fact it was the 1st country to try to protect its National Film industry using a quota law for every foreign film shown in germany a german film had to be made and distributed abroad that actually lead to quantity over quality anyway these days the majority of film showing in german cinemas are imports mostly from the u.
