Ředitel České televize Jan Souček vyrukoval do boje za zvýšení koncesionářských poplatků. Zatím ke zvýšení jejich efektivity nic nepředvedl, naopak chtěl peněz mnohem víc. Jeho plán pro případ neschválení poplatků s rušením televizních kanálů nepočítal. Proč až teď?

Se skvěle kurátorovaným programem přichází do dvou pražských kin, Lucerny a Edison Filmhubu, festival Aussie & Kiwi Film Fest. V pátek 15. listopadu začne ve velkém sále Kina Lucerna jeho 11. ročník uvedením svérázného animovaného snímku Paměti z ulity, jehož režisér Adam Elliot byl před sedmi lety hostem Anifilmu a při té příležitosti poskytl Reflexu rozhovor. A co další snímky z druhé strany zeměkoule, které nás až do 20. listopadu čekají?

Říjnové kolo soutěže Reflexu Akty X přináší jedinečnou kombinaci krásy a hrůzy – téma Halloween. Fotografové dostali příležitost propojit aktovou fotografii s prvky tajemna a horroru, což vyústilo ve fascinující galerii plnou odlišných přístupů jednotlivých umělců. Snímky říjnového kola odhalují škálu temných vizuálů, kde se krása lidského těla snoubí s ponurou atmosférou Halloweenu.

Vracíme se zpátky do roku 1999. Nobelovu cenu za mír získali Lékaři bez hranic, Lance Armstrong poprvé zvítězil v Tour de France a Bára Hrzánová se po dvouleté odmlce vrací zpátky na jeviště. Jak vzpomíná na Ninu Zarečnou z inscenace Racek? Co jí do života dala tvrdá škola Reginy Rázlové? A co Hrdý Budžes? To se dozvíte v novém díle Retroview.

Kreml dokáže využít opravdu jakýkoli možný způsob, který může oslabit Evropu zevnitř. Každý problém, s nímž se Evropa zrovna potýká, vnímá Moskva jako svoji potenciální příležitost. A jelikož Rusko dobře ví, že k hlavním výzvám Evropy patří ilegální migrace, snaží se ještě přisypávat sůl do krvácející rány a problém ještě více prohloubit.

Vláda si může připsat úspěch, když ve sněmovně prosadila důchodovou reformu. Zatímco odborná sféra ji považuje za důležitý krok ke stabilizaci veřejných financí, opoziční strany křičí, že ji zruší. Řídí se heslem po nás potopa.

S Trumpem v Bílém domě má Musk příležitost posunout svůj vliv na novou úroveň a významně ovlivnit pravidla hry v technologickém světě. Těžit může například z možného vlivu na regulace v klíčových sektorech, kde působí. Muskova podpora Trumpovi byla sázkou na nejistotu, ale první reakce trhu naznačují, že se tento risk možná vyplácí.

Renomovaný festival fotografie Circulation, který se každoročně koná od března do května v Paříži, letos představil série fotografií Tomeu Colla. Fotograf původem z Mallorky je pořídil v zapomenutém městě Vorkuta, které uprostřed ničeho začali ve 30. letech stavět vězni gulagu. Jak vypadá místo, odkud existuje jedno letecké spojení s Moskvou za týden, kde panují dlouhé měsíce mrazu a kde si lidé sami vyrábějí sněhové pluhy?

Zase budeme slavit i nadávat – jak kdo – na pětatřicet let od listopadu 1989. Uteklo to jako voda. Hodnotíme ten čas v průzkumech, jako bychom nevěděli, že vypovídají nejvíc o nás samých. Je to dost, nebo málo, těch pětatřicet let? Co jsme dokázali a co jsme pokazili? Ohlédněme se ve Zpětném zrcátku za tím, co zůstane potomkům, až budou hodnotit našich pětatřicet let. Začátky jsou vždycky plné slunce, slibů a těšení. Nevěsta je panensky bílá, ženich čestný a silný. Ona symbol věčné lásky, on pevnost pravdy. Proto si bez váhání slíbí věrnost až do smrti, neboť jen tak pravda a láska zvítězí nad lží a nenávistí… Hudba hraje, všichni se drží kolem ramen a vše vypadá tak snadné a nadějné… Jako budoucnost, než se stane přítomností. Takoví jsme byli, vzpomínáme pak po letech. Ale jací jsme vlastně byli?

Aby byla vzpoura povýšena na revoluci, musí nejdříve zvítězit. Extremista, který ve svém boji uspěl, se může stát bojovníkem za svobodu – aspoň pro dějepravu vlastního národa. Základním problémem každé definice je, že se politické pojmosloví zpravidla nepoužívá ve svém normativním významu. Ještě donedávna se výstižně vtipkovalo, že rozdíl mezi demokracií obecně a demokracií socialistickou je zhruba stejný jako mezi křeslem a elektrickým křeslem.

Z návratu Donalda Trumpa do Bílého domu bude profitovat jeden z jeho nejviditelnějších příznivců: Elon Musk. Přiznaně transakční vztah obou idiosynkratických sólistů je v moderní historii bezprecedentní.

Slovenská ministryně kultury Martina Šimkovičová v rámci chystané novely zákona o slovenském jazyce vyrazila do boje proti používání jiných slov, než jsou ta slovenská. Chce tak ochránit slovenský jazyk jako základní prvek nehmotného kulturního dědictví.

O kapesné přijdete za 38 dní. Těmito slovy se vysmál na sociálních sítích ukrajinskému prezidentu Zelenskému Donald Trump junior. Běží dohady, zda tím naznačil příští kroky zvoleného prezidenta, taťky Donalda Trumpa, protože i těch osmatřicet dní je divný termín. Možná, kdyby žila Donaldova matka, zlínská rodačka Ivana, připomněla by mu, co to obnáší žít pod ruskou nadvládou a agresí. Sužovaná Ukrajina má přesto naději, že ji prezident Trump nehodí přes palubu. Jako každý sebestředný vládce touží po čestné a hrdinné pozici v historii. Aby příští generace věděly, že se prezidentu nejmocnější země světa Donaldu Trumpovi nerozklepala kolena před jedním vraždícím diktátorem.

I’m really tired. And I have work to do, so hey, peeking in here is procrastination, right? Lots of changes and adjustments going on, and they’re exhausting. 2020 is bonkers to begin with.
