I finally …

Tomorrow starts the 8th German Film Festival in Buenos Aires.  The German film industry is one of the largest in Europe and since the 90′s has seen a great resurgence with films reaching international acclaim …

If you’ve got cable, Channel TCM is presenting an homage to famed cinema director, Stanley Kubrick.
