Few contemporary films are as captivating as Armin Linke’s new film *Alpi* — Italian for “the Alps”. It’s a mesmerizing aggregation of hundreds of well-observed moments, each one slow-paced and often absurd.

If you happen to live in Berlin (Oct 12, Babylon) or Padova (Detour International Travel Film Festival, Oct. 18-21), don’t miss the chance to attend one of the screenings of “Alpi”. In issue #27 of Electronic Beats Magazine, Armin Linke recommended Roman Bezjak’s new book “Socialist Modernism”. ~ Photo: Armin Linke
