About the Stanley Kubrick: Stanley Kubrick (/ˈkuːbrɪk/; July 26, 1928 – March 7, 1999) was an American film director, screenwriter, producer, and photographer. Widely considered one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, his films were nearly all adaptations of novels or short stories, spanning a number of genres and gaining recognition for their intense attention to detail, innovative cinematography, extensive set design, and dark humor.
Born and raised in New York City, Kubrick was an average school student but displayed a keen interest in literature, photography, and film from a young age; he began to teach himself all aspects of film producing and directing after graduating from high school. After working as a photographer for Look magazine in the late 1940s and early 1950s, he began making low-budget short films and made his first major Hollywood film, The Killing, for United Artists in 1956. This was followed by two collaborations with Kirk Douglas: the anti-war film Paths of Glory (1957) and the historical epic film Spartacus (1960).
In 1961, Kubrick left the United States due to concerns about crime in the country, as well as a growing dislike for how Hollywood operated and creative differences with Douglas and the film studios; he settled in England, which he would leave only a handful of times for the rest of his life.

The ongoing genocidal war in Gaza which the Zionist Israel has launched after 7 October last year has killed more than 36 thousand Palestinian including children, women and elderly besides reducing Gaza to rubble. But this unprecedented Israeli offensive has not deterred the Palestinian people as they continue to resist. The justice-loving people all over the world have been expressing their solidarity to the heroic Palestinian resistance and are call for boycotting Israel and divesting from companies benefitting from the occupation has gained renewed support. The most heartening aspect of this global solidarity was that the students and professors of about 150 college campuses took part in anti-Israel and pro-Palestine protests. The state repression on these protest demonstrations only led to spreading of the protests in the US, Europe and different parts of the world. This is very important moment in the global solidarity movement for the Palestinian people. In order to understand the reasons behind this enormous support for Palestine in US campuses and its implications, we have invited Professor Immanuel Ness who teaches political Science at City University of New York and who took part in the anti-Israel protest in his campus.

Into the Beat is a beautiful film directed by Stefan Westerwellea, where teen ballerina Katya, played by Alexandra Pfeifer, discovers hip-hop by chance and is faced with an impossible choice: Does she follow her parents’ footsteps... or her newfound passion?
For Hamburg ballet student Katya, the hard training for a scholarship at the New York Ballet Academy is almost a matter of course, as she is the daughter of Victor Orlow, a celebrated ballet dancer who, after the death of his wife, is now looking after Katya and her younger brother Paul on her own. There are only three weeks left until the exam under the merciless regime of the dance teacher. One day, however, Katya discovers a factory hall on her way where people are dancing - albeit to completely different sounds and with impetuous acrobatic movements. She immerses herself in this young, wild hip-hop dance scene, feels free, is recognized and meets the dancer Marlon, played by Yalany Marschner. But the more she feels that this is her form of expression, the more she comes into a conflict of conscience with her beloved father, who can no longer dance since an accident on stage. The daughter, however, feels obliged to continue the ballet tradition in the family. Katya has to make a decision.
