Special One | Black & White Love
Cow loves this black spotted lamb ..
Watch this first clip I shot – that I not used before nor inspected really before , because it is not in focus .. – but ok for this as evidence …

Well … watching version 2 yesterday of my short film ‘Shepherd’ I noticed that that young black-white cow ‘herding’ lambs , may rather be driving lambs away from her special one – a lamb with a large black spot , she loves.

Footage after cropping 4x and minor color correction (no sharpening – for not introducing artifacts) of this iPhone X footage made using 2x lens .. I really tried to get focus right because I had a problem also the day before , here using the 2x lens – I hardly ever use that lens and wonder whether that’s a hardware problem ..) … Film : 20200510 Michel van der Burg | 1-memo.com

Air Raid – The Hague 1935

Air Raid – The Hague 1935
Exercise of an air raid in 1935, bombing the dutch town The Hague – seat of government – on a small scale. Testing the decisiveness, and speed with which municipal services in The Hague react in the event of an air attack. Shots:
Formation biplanes flies over. Explosion of ‘mustard gas bomb’ on the street causes white clouds of smoke, after which helpers in overalls and police officers – wearing gas masks, among other things – rush or drive to provide first aid to the ‘victims’ on the street and arrange transport to the hospital.
Shots of normal traffic ‘just’ passing outside the training area (in the background, laughter from the audience watching). Cameraman of Polygoon cinema news with gas mask on behind camera. Credits:

SIMON GRONOWSKI PUSH & PIANO

> EN Below >

NL – SIMON GRONOWSKI PUSH & PIANO
Simon Gronowski’s speech over de PUSH Opera … het genie van Howard Moody, de vele mensen rond de wieg van dit wonder … de emotie van koningin Mathilde van België, en speelt piano tijdens de herdenking van 2019 van Transport XX in Boortmeerbeek.

De nieuwste – nu virtuele – uitvoering van de community opera PUSH met meer dan 150 zangers uit de vier casts en koren uit het Groot Brittanië en België werd vorige week door iedereen zelf thuis opgenomen en is nu online te zien sinds de première op 19 april 2020 via deze link https://youtu.be/-sm1rI-j5iE precies 77 jaar nadat Youra Livschitz, Robert Maistriau en Jean Franklemon Transport XX stopten.

De PUSH-opera is gebaseerd op het verhaal van Simon Gronowski. En het nieuwe virtuele optreden ‘PUSH’ is ook uniek met het nu integreren van beelden van Simon’s leven.

EN – SIMON GRONOWSKI PUSH & PIANO
Simon Gronowski speaks – in dutch and french – on the PUSH Opera … the genius of Howard Moody, the many people around the crib of this miracle … the emotion of Queen Mathilde of Belgium , and plays the piano during the 2019 commemoration of the attack of the 20th convoy – Transport XX – on stage in Boortmeerbeek, Belgium.

The latest – now virtual – performance of community opera PUSH with more than 150 singers from the four casts and choruses form the UK & Belgium was made last week by all at home, and is now screening online from the premiere the 19th April 2020 here https://youtu.be/-sm1rI-j5iE … exactly 77 years after the three Brussels resistance heroes Youra Livschitz, Robert Maistriau and Jean Franklemon stopped the Nazi train Transport XX, transporting 1600 Jewish deportees to Auschwitz, and more than 200 prisoners escaped from the train before the German border – that attack is unique in the history of the Holocaust.

The PUSH opera is based on Simon Gronowski’s story. And the new virtual performance film ‘PUSH’ is unique also in now integrating images of Simon’s life – the 11 year old Jewish boy who was pushed from the train – Transport XX – by his mother on the way to Auschwitz , April 19th, 1943.
