at age four. He died in Montreal in 1968 but his music continues to live on. (Alain
Lefevre signs André Mathieu – CBC/SRC, Canada). Meet Jussi Björling, one of the
greatest singers of our times, on his hundredth anniversary! His children and colleagues
tell the gripping story of a poor orphan boy who was both applauded by the world and

Literature, Theatre
In spring 2010 "The Norwegian National Touring Theatre" engaged International director
Stein Winge to stage Eugene O’Neills “Long day's journey into night”. Liv Ullmann, who
currently lives in the US, returned to Norway to play Mary Tyron. This documentary that
follows the trials of the rehearsal time will be her last on stage. At present she is 72
years old. (Rehearsals – Time of trial – NRK, Norway). Alan Bennett’s play "The Habit of
Art" is built around an imagined encounter between the poet W.H. Auden and the
composer Benjamin Britten in Oxford in 1972. In fact, the two men hardly spoke after
their collaboration ended in the 1940s, and Auden said that Britten was the only friend
he had ever lost. "Alan Bennett and The Habit of Art" looks at the extraordinary
relationship between one of England’s finest poet and one of the greatest composers of
the twentieth century. (Alan Bennett and the habit of art – CH4, United Kingdom). They
called her the Hungarian "Villon" after the famous French poet,thief and general
vagabond. She came from the very deep bottom of life and tried to reveal how sad hers

and a homeless. (Éva Tandari – DUNA TV, Hungary). A monologue by Marco Paolini on
Nazi eugenics. Between 1939 and 1941 in Nazi Germany, before many other brutal
killings, thousands of both physically disabled and mentally disturbed children and
adults were killed, lives deemed "unworthy of being lived." Aktion T4 is the dramatically
effective realization of a proposed elimination of the "different" and "useless". This is a
secret project, achieved by a few people, but in fact carried out under the eyes of
everyone.

Art, cinema and photography
Inside the Vatican there is the whole of Italy, region by region. Required by Pope Gregory
XIII, under the form of fresco, the gallery is made up of 40 maps, painted around 1580
by a team of landscape painters co-ordinated by the geographer Ignazio Danti. Antonio
Paolucci, director of the Vatican Museums, guides us on a real journey into XVIth
Century’s Italy, whose unity had been constituted a long time before Cavour and
Garibaldi played their game and where our country, although politically divided, looks
united by its history, language, religion, and culture. (A journey into 16th century's Italy.
The gallery of maps in the Vatican – TV2000, Italy). The idea for a documentary on Ugo
Tognazzi sprang from the desire to relate to life, loves, passions, successes and
disappointments of a great actor, but also to reveal his hidden, secret aspects and lesser
known works for the first time. Never before has the Tognazzi family permitted the use
of personal photos and behind-the-scenes footage from Ugo’s films to be publicized,
together with material that shows the actor’s private side and his time spent with
friends. The soundtrack is by Sergio Cammariere, and the end credits feature an
