The following two reviews on the film "I am FEMEN" (showing today at 14:30 at the Capitole cinema in Nyon ) were written by two women who were born in different generations and on different continents. This timely film directed by Alain Margot, is about the Ukraine women's movement and was filmed between 2011 and 2013. The first review is by Suzy Nelson-Pollard, a student who was born in 1991 and who grew up in various countries around the world. The second review is by Trish Thalman who was a young woman during the 60's in the San Francisco Area. These were "gritty days of protests on behalf of Civil Rights, Women's Rights, Vietnam War/US Government and were the make-up of the US ". Both film reviewers were very impressed by the film which had its world premiere this week at Visions du Réel in Nyon. After the film was screened, the protagonists -the women in this protest movement, introduced themselves to the audience and the film received a standing ovation. Both reviewers say this is a "must see" film.   Book tickets online here . If you don't get the chance to see it today, it will be shown across Swiss cinemas in May. See short trailer of the film on Youtube here First review by Suzy Nelson-Pollard Photo above: Reviewer Suzy Nelson-Pollard at Visions du Réel 2014 You’ve probably heard of Femen, those girls that protest topless in the street, at public events, sporting matches, churches. You probably, like me before seeing this film, didn’t hold them in very high esteem. Isn’t going topless just another way of perpetuating the patriarchy, the ultra-sexualisation of women, or just a publicity stunt? What do they actually add to any debate? Yet, despite my reservations, I left the film considerably worked up by the bravery of these women, having understood that desperate times call for desperate measures. The film follows the artist of the Femen girls, Oxana, who creates the iconic visual effects of the protests; the masks, flower crowns and body paint. One of the earliest protests of the group is shown in the first scene, after three men rape and burn alive a young girl, receiving impunity due to their fathers holding high office. The Femen women siege the top of a courthouse, trade-markedly topless, calling for justice. In this case they are successful, as the media attention that they attract puts pressure on the justice system and the men receive long prison sentences. In other cases they are less successful, such as during a trip to Belarus to protest against dictatorship. Carried off by the secret service, they disappear for several days and suffer mental and physical torture by being forced to strip off in the woods and bear swastika signs whilst being recorded. As each protest irritates the Ukrainian forces more, the more the women are bugged, recorded and followed, sometimes beaten, often threatened. If the main criticism is their toplessness, the Femen women obviously have their reasoning. “We want our girls to be sexy, powerful women,” explains one of the founders of the organisation. The idea is not only to attract media attention, but also to play with the idea that sexy Ukrainian women are all prostitutes. The fact that you see this tall, long legged blonde being political, answering back (shouting, fighting and kicking back), putting feminism on the global media agenda, is confusing, especially when you are used to seeing her in the kitchen or in the bedroom. It’s also understandable that when the women point out that there are little to no women in the Ukrainian cabinet, without a shock tactic their voices are lost. Some of the stunts that Femen pull are ingenious. In protesting against government corruption that led in one particular case to neglect and mistreatment of the animals of Kiev zoo (to enable the owner to kill off all the animals and sell the land for a premium price), they adorn animal masks, cover themselves in blood and throw animal carcasses from the top of the zoo gates. Now most of the founding members exiled from Ukraine, Femen are trying to start an international movement based in France. Attacking a variety of injustices, their efforts abroad feel a bit misguided at times. However the bravery of these women cannot be denied. Whether you agree with their methods or not, they have played a significant role in re-booting the debate on the meaning of modern feminism, and on contesting repression, dictatorship and corruption. I came away from the film questioning every aspect of how gender affects my day-to-day life, re-evaluating every notion I had about feminism. “Je suis Femen” is a human portrait of the women behind the most controversial protest group of our time, it’s a social commentary on Ukrainian politics, and it is relevant to us all, women and men alike. After all, as Femen repeats, it’s not about a fight between women and men: patriarchy, dictatorship, corruption and repression hurts us all. Second review by Trish Thalman Photo above - Trish Thalman at a previous Visions du Réel Festival 'I Am FEMEN' is an important and time-worthy film about the Ukraine women's movement, which was filmed between 2011 and 2013 by Swiss filmmaker Alain Margot.  The current crisis between Ukraine and Russia since the end of Feb. 2014 adds hard capital to this film. We are introduced, head-on, to a women's movement in Ukraine, that is obviously ahead of it's time, as is the film, although probably not knowing the impact it would make by April 2014. Women peacefully protesting, wearing traditional Ukrainian flowered and ribboned headpieces. They are bare-breasted, young, beautiful and have enhanced their beauty with make-up and stylish hair. They are the strong willed, activist, modern women of FEMEN. Heat and freezing cold weather, arrests, beatings, the indignity of being filmed naked, sacked-covered heads in dark forests with swastikas while in police custody, does not daunt their dedication and consummate belief that they can make a change. Since the early 2000's, the women have been continually enlarging their movement, while protesting peacefully, about the corruption of Local and Government officials in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. Police intervention is standard operating procedure. They stand up, not just for women, though that is the subtext of the film, but for the women and men of Ukraine who have lived through some of the inadequate and divisive changes since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Ukraine Government Leadership is not making headway for it's people. I was particularly moved by the film from a personal point of view, as I was a young woman in my 20's during the 60's in the San Francisco Area. Those gritty days of protests on behalf of Civil Rights, Women's Rights, Vietnam War/US Government  were the make-up of the US (not everywhere), and particularly in 'Leftie' San Francisco and Oakland, California. I smiled during the film recalling those days years ago, that the protesting, bare-breasted, American women had police blankets thrown over them and then quickly hustled away into the police vans. Not because they were protesting against whatever the protest was about, but because they were "topless"!  Changes were made...it took time. The clever, beautiful, dedicated women leaders of FEMEN continue to make their protests and statements. They are now given asylum in France, Switzerland and Germany, as they are unable to remain in Ukraine without grave consequences to their lives. A bittersweet aspect of their struggles: freedom in countries that are not their own. Will they heard in their own country? FEMEN moves forward. Their story is very well told by Margot and the women. Changes will happen. As in the US in those days of protest, the people will be heard.

I have received this request Nyon resident, Corinne Desarzens, if you think you can help her, please reply to the following email  c.desarzens@bluewin.ch "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Corinne Desarzens and I live in Nyon. Born in France in the fifties (apart from three years in New York as a correspondent for Tribune de Genève) I have lived all my life here. My husband (who used to be a farmer) now takes care of asylum seekers in Geneva. We have three children, twins of 20 and a boy of 19, all studying in Lausanne. In mid February 2009, a hundred asylum seekers arrived in Nyon, and are now housed underground in a bunker near the Migros homestore. All "Dublin cases", via an European transit country (Italy, Malta, Spain, France, Greece), all men between the ages of 18 to 35. Most of them come from English-speaking African countries, including Ghana, Eritrea and Somalia, from Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Sri-Lanka. Many have been sent back to the transit country, may others have recently arrived. A few are stiil here since the start.. Every Thursday I teach French lessons to about ten of them. Those who managed to make it here survived extreme conditions and went through impressive experiences. They are brilliant, each in his own personal way, and may be fully trusted. Asylum seekers are allowed to work after a three month period. Being an asylum seeker, waiting to hear  one’s fate, has much to do with time passing. How to use one’s time. For a few of them I have been looking for small jobs, in some cases very successfully : in a garage, a garden-centre, in a bio-medical enterprise, picking fruit and later grape picking, mowing grass and cleaning houses.I am looking to widen any possibilitiy for them, even for a short time : do not hesitate to contact me for any activity related to daily life, including hiring extra/s when throwing a party, helping the elderly, gardening, cleaning windows, walking dogs. Hourly wages welcome". If you think you can help by offering any kind of tempoary work then email c.desarzens@bluewin.ch  and please not to Living in Nyon

There was a chilly Bise wind blowing at the end of last week, but it didn't stop some hardy souls taking a dip in the lake. There's a spot down at the beach in Prangins which is is bit of a sun trap to shelter out of the wind. You can often see folk sat chatting and reading while soaking up some winter rays. There are others who go down to this beach as they cannot resist a swim despite the glacial temperature of the water at this time of year. Look closely in the photo and you can just see a head bobbing in the water! Meanwhile over in Nyon there's an end of season feeling down by the lake, with boats covered, and tables and chairs stacked up in the cafés and put away for the winter. Yet in the centre of town, there's still lots going on. These school children below held a stall in the Saturday market selling chocolate cake and other goodies. This was to help them pay for funds towards a school trip to Italy. Selling home made produce like this is a popular local fund raising method for such trips. The signs usually say something like "Voyage D'etude" if you want to help them. This organ grinder appeared on Saturday in the centre of town, singing in front of the butchers. There was also plenty of campaigning going on in town for the next lot of elections for the Mayoral candidate. More on this later on in the week when Bernadette will be giving us an update on the latest news in local politics.

A Very Merry Christmas to all readers! Latest news is that there will be another Living in Nyon evening event on the 22nd January. More details to follow. To all of those who made suggestions as to how the site can be improved, thankyou for your comments. I will take these on board and implement them in the new year. Thankyou also for all your kind support over the last few months, the messages you have sent have been much appreciated. This will be the last post now until early January 2009 when it will be back with more information, more interviews, more events, and more photos! A Very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.

There is always lots of fabulous food on offer at Paléo. This year there are stalls in the Village du Monde area that are serving cerviche, empanadas and other tasty food from the Andes. There is even a proper "asado" (an Argentinian barbecue) on the grounds! The other food areas at Paléo are the "Quartier de L'Orient" (serving Asian food) and the "Quartier Latin"  - both can be found near to the Les Arches stage and Le Detour tent.  The small programme guide that you can pick up at the entrance to Paléo, lists all these food areas on the back of the concert schedules. If you fancy some traditional Swiss food, the Quartier des Alpes has plenty of choice on offer from Malakoffs to Tartiflette note - if you are in a rush, the service for the Malakoffs is very fast! If you prefer a sit down meal with waiter service, then the "Passage des Tournesols" near the Ferris wheel is the place to be although there are no sunflowers this year in on the fields. To round off the meal, Living in Nyon recommends the tea from the tea stall "La Théière" at stand number 390. See photos below. Photography Each year Paléo showcases the work of a Paléo photographer in a temporary gallery on the grounds and this year it's the turn of Claude Dussex. Take a look at his monochrome photos of previous concerts, from a close up of Nick Cave to Lenny Kravitz in full flow on the guitar. Over in La Ruche area (read Jonas's report about this area here)  there are some fabulous photos on display taken by a Swiss family as they travel around the world in a campervan. The whole family are there on site ( 2 adults and 4 children) and you can chat to them about their experience and see inside their van! Above - Free Hugs at Paléo. Street artist - White Rabbit late for an important date Below Two happy festival goers at Paléo on Wednesday night!

A big thankyou to keen ornithologist Mike Bowman for this post below. There are some interesting birds around this area and Mike has given us an insight into which ones can be seen and where to go to spot them. If you want to know more, Mike is available as a guide, or just as a source of information for anyone interested in bird watching, such as places to visit, how to choose binoculars etc. His details are at the end of the post. Birdwatching in the Nyon area. Have you thought about bird watching as a family activity? Its an excellent means of getting children out of the house and interested in the environment and outdoor activities. It can be anything from a leisurely stroll to a tough climb up into the mountains where the birds and the animals can be just an additional attraction. Because of its geographical position in Central Europe, Switzerland receives a wide variety of birds at different times of year and nearly 400 species have been seen, quite a few of which are not regularly found in the UK. Many migrating waders stop off along the shores of the lake on their way north to breed in the Arctic regions. The best place for seeing waders in April and May is the bird island at Prevérenges (see directions below). At any time of year there is always something to be seen, in the Spring there are the many summer visitors mostly arriving from Africa. The Black Kites arrive in March from their winter quarters in West Africa and depart again at the end of July. Black Kites can be seen almost anywhere around the Lake Geneva area as they wheel around over the towns and villages. Who has not been charmed by the songs of thrushes, and warblers in the hedgerows too and watched the flight of swifts as they fly screaming between the houses? In the winter, from December to March, there are numerous species of duck on the lake that have migrated south from their breeding quarters in the extreme north of Europe. They can be seen particularly in and around the port of Nyon where they become rapidly habituated to visitors and readily accept food, even the fish eating Common Mergansers, (the British call these Goosanders). To know what birds are about in the area, check out this interesting site . It is an exchange platform about birding in Switzerland. It has a section with latest sightings of birds, it has photos of birds and it even lists sun set and sunrise times for the keen early risers. You can contact Mike by e-mail on mike.bowman@bluewin.ch You can often see other animals too when you are bird watching. To get to Prevérenges Directions: Leave Morges by the coast road in the direction of Lausanne and turn off to the right in Prevérenges towards the Aula. Park your car at the lakeside car park and walk to the left along the lake until you see the artificial island just before the point where the River Venoge enters into the lake. You will need binoculars for this however as the birds will be a little too far away for the naked eye.

Living in Nyon spoke to expatriate Sandra Wilmer who moved to Rolle in July 2009. Sandra, originally from Johannesburg in South Africa, tells us why she loves living in Rolle. "Rolle is a magical and charming town. Even though it has a population of just *5,000 people, it has everything one needs to go about one's daily business, with a butcher, baker etc. Rolle has the most beautiful waterfront that is set away from the road, making it a quiet place to go for a stroll. The Chateau is a working chateau, there are administrational offices that are run from within the building. There are also exhibitions held in a gallery space in the castle and a wonderful market at Christmas too. Art Exhibition held inside the Chateau Rolle is peaceful which I love even though it is still very close to the other towns of Nyon and Morges.  Lausanne, Coppet and Geneva are a short drive or train ride away. We have wonderful wineries on our doorstep and we are within walking distance to Mont sur Rolle. We often go to Fechy for wine tasting, lunch in St Prex or Perroy, which is just around the corner from us. There is an international feel to the place due to the A1 Business centre, but there are still many Swiss people here, although you don’t hear as much English spoken as in our neighbouring towns. I have always found everyone to be friendly and when I try to speak French, people are very helpful and patient. We often take our bicycles in the summer and just ride around the apple orchards and vineyards and we stop to pick apples that have fallen on the ground, there are also opportunities to pick grapes in the Autumn season too. There is a local gym in Rolle and a beautiful conference centre along the lake side. The local Rolle Green Bus travels around the town regularly and picks up people at designated spots and takes them to the train station in a very timely fashion so it's all very convenient. The train station is very clean too and very accessible to most everywhere. If there was just one thing I wish for, that would be that were more trains from Rolle, the frequency could be improved. We have a very well known fish restaurant called Café du Port which has an excellent reputation. There are many other nice restaurants too. Rolle also has a shop called the Tournesol (sunflower) which is an organic food store and there is also a market on Tuesday and Friday mornings, with fresh produce, pasta, cheese, meat, olives, fish, flowers all on sale. However my favourite shop of all has to be La Boîte à Thé which is a very special shop indeed.  You can sip tea or drink coffee at the back of the store, while looking through all the photos of the owner’s travels. The owner Ursula Selig, sources many products while she is travelling in other countries and there are teas and interesting products for sale from all over the world in this shop. I have spent hours here as it is so peaceful and interesting too! Rolle also has a ferry dock, and the ferries cross over the lake to the main towns and villages in the summer. All in all, I think Rolle is a very special little place and I love living here." Editor's note: Rolle is also home to Le Rosey the prestigious international boarding school (said to be one of the most expensive schools in the world) See previous post about the A1 business centre in Rolle * The population of Rolle (December 2009) was 5,686   The official website of Rolle also incudes the communes of Allaman, Bursinel, Bursins, Burtigny, Dully, Essertines, Gilly, Luins, Mont-sur-Rolle, Perroy, Rolle, Tartegnin and Vinzel. Rolle also has a tourist office in the centre of the town which has its own website Rolle High Street
