Sixto Rodriguez in concert at the Roundhouse

We wrote about Rodriguez in August, after seeing the film Searching for Sugar Man. (see trailer above.)
Last night we saw the great man in concert. What a man! He still looks and sounds like a star. A true original. A man with soul!!

Oma & Bella

Oma and Bella is a film about two friends and Holocaust survivors who live together in Berlin. The film is made by Oma's grandaughter Alexa Karolinski, who follows the two wonderful ladies during their daily lives, where they talk, amongst other things, about the food that they cook together that bonds them to their memories, identity and childhood. This all culminates in the most beautifully designed cookbook. See the trailer to the film and more about the cookbook here.
