This weekend, the 12th and 13th September it is "Journées du Patrimoine" here in Switzerland (it's on the 19th and 20th in France) and there are lots of events going on here in Nyon and surrounding towns. These weekends have a national theme to them, this year it is "water", and events have been organised around this theme to encourage us to explore the cultural richness of the area. Entry to participating museums is free during this weekend. In the Musée du Léman there will be guided visits throughout the day the first beginning at 11:00 is entitled "The Rives of Nyon Lake, between nature and culture". Other themes and tours continue through the day at this museum. Also There will be short boat tours on the Nyolue (28 places on this boat) between Nyon and Prangins. They will leave on the hour at the port de plaisance between 10:00 and 12:00 and 14:00 and 17:00 and leave the port of Prangins on the half hour. UEFA (the headquarters of the European football union) will be opening its door to the public between 10:00 and 15:00 on Saturday and Sunday. Over in Prangins at the chateau (the National Museum of Switzerland) there will be a guided tour on Saturday and Sunday at 11:00 and 14:00 entitled "From the fountain to the glacial period, the multiple uses of water within the castle" There will also be a workshop organised for children aged 6-12 whereby they can build their own boats and float them on the water of the fountain in the kitchen garden. The castle lit up last year Over in Gland it will be possible to visit the hydro electric power station from 10:00 to 17:00 There will be commentary at 10:30 and 14:30 and up in Saint George it will be possible to visit the old windmill from 10:00 to 17:00 .

On Saturday at 18:00 at the plage of Nyon there will be a masked swim organised by the association of Les Bains des Tres Jetées. This association is aiming to preserve this part of the lake area and to keep activities going throughout the year, one of their plans is to set up temporary saunas to use down by the lake in the winter months. A great idea! This masked swim will be followed by a Pot Luck Supper and there will be an award for the best mask. Living in Nyon hopes to go to this event, (but they won't be swimming!) so maybe see you there! See previous post with photos on their New year swim! Finally, don't forget the classical concert coming up on Sunday at the Conservatoire. A perfect way to end the weekend (see side bar for more details)

As UB 40 closed their set with "Red Red Wine" on Friday night at Caribana, they rounded off an evening that was part of a vintage year of a festival. There was a variety of music on offer from the young and lively Tweek and Lovebugs , to the more mature but much appreciated UB 40 . Stress from Switzerland proved to be very popular, and the lesser known but interesting bands from other countries such as Nneka attracted good sized crowds. Then there were the fun bands with fizz such as Madcon etc. Some of Friday night's concerts introduced a political message to their songs. Nneka, originally from Nigeria explained that V.I.P in one of her songs meant "Vagabond in Power", referring to "some leaders of some countries". Stress brought political messages to the stage too while attracting a massive crowd. UB 40, having recently got on board the "Hope not Hate" campaign bus in the UK in the recent European elections, have often been involved in putting various political messages across, but Friday night was more about their music. Vintage the band they may be, but proof that all good things mature with age. I had previously seen UB 40 in Santiago in Chile over 19 years ago, that concert was a disappointment for various reasons, a little bitter, not a good year. Thankfully some years are better than others, the group have mellowed and this concert was was smoother and full of flavour. To savour it and sip it in the company of thousands of dancing others alongside Lake Geneva made the taste only that much sweeter. I understand that Saturday night was an equally successful night and the concert of Charlie Winston was "the one" to be at. Sunday was hot and sunny, perfect for all the children that went to Caribana Kids to climb on the walls, jump on the bouncy castle and listen to their own concert by Gaetan . No political message here, just songs about hippopotami and elephants. A fun day rounding off a a vintage year, no doubt laid down in many memories for years to come. Check out the photos below and more in the Smilebox feature. Press play and wait a few seconds for them to load.

This film crosses a border into the unknown and mysterious world of autism. Matthew’s Rules gives us the opportunity to experience friendship and self-determination in the face of society’s demands from a unique point of view". The  Special Prize Swiss Post for the most innovative Feature Film, CHF 10,000 to : KOVASIKAJUTTU (THE PUNK SYNDROME ) by J-P Passi and Jukka Kärikkäinen, Finland The Jury's view - "Full of warmth and humour The Punk Syndrome is an entertaining and challenging celebration of life’s pleasures. This is not only a generous encounter with people traditionally placed at society’s margins it is also a work of rigorous and inspired filmmaking. Special mention to : 900 DAGEN (900 DAYS) by Jessica Gorter, Netherlands "900 Dagen unveils an episode of history from the perspective of everyday people who lived it. The filmmaker creates surprising connections between horror and humanity". The Jury of the international competition for the Medium Length and Short Films categories awards the  Prize George Foundation for the best medium length film, CHF 10,000 to : LE GOSSE (THE KID) by Louise Jaillette, France The jury said "The filmmaker found a remarkable subject, a boy between childhood and adolescence in rural France. Her approach is realistic and sensitive, full of clarity, curiosity and honesty". The Special Prize George Foundation for the most innovating medium length film, CHF 5'000 to : L’ÂGE ADULTE (ADULTHOOD) de Eve Duchemin, Belgique/France "Two young adults feel the pressure of contemporary life against their own aspirations.

While a common type of project, in this case it’s done with playfulness, self-awareness and wit, that provides a refreshing approach to memory and German historical reflection". Special mention to : 3 DNI WOLNOSCI (3 DAYS OF FREEDOM) by Lukasz Borowski, Poland "A profound meditation on personal freedom and its loss". The Cinéma Suisse jury, awards the  Great Prize SSA/Suissimage for the best Swiss feature film (all sections), CHF 15'000 to: HIVER NOMADE by Manuel von Stürler, Switzerland The jury awards the best prize to HIVER NOMADE - for revealing through this engaging journey the impressive touch of his director, who is able to exploit the cinematographic potential of the film’s two main characters and of their incredible chemistry. These contemporary nomads live an adventure out of time, but still deeply rooted in our present. The director of this first feature documentary creates through the power of his photography, the subtleness of the editing and the use of music, a magic of simplicity. Special prize of the Jury – SRG SSR for the most innovating Swiss feature film (all sections), CHF 10'000 to : AMORE CARNE by Pippo Delbono, Italy/Switzerland Special mention to : WHERE THE CONDORS FLY by Carlos Klein, Switzerland/Germany/Chili The jury gives a special mention for this humorous, daring, moving, original documentary. For reflecting on the art of filmmaking and creation – not only through mind and brain, but rather also through physical force, instinct and intuition; for celebrating life and its wonder the jury decided to salute this film and give it a special commendation. The Regard Neuf Jury, Prize Regard Neuf of the Canton of Vaud for a first feature film of the International Competition, Helvétiques or État d’esprit section, CHF 10'000 to : SCHILDKRÖTENWUT (THE TURTLE’S RAGE) by Pary El-Qalquili, Germany Public, award the prize of the Young Public and Société des Hôteliers de la Côte for the best film in the First Step section, CHF 3’000 to : AFTER by Lukasz Konopa, United Kingdom Lukasz Konopa, is awarded this prize for the originality with which it goes into a subject used so many times. Through a coherent form, the filmmaker succeeds in making coexist in his shots both the objects of a painful memory and their ‘mise en scène’ ready to be consumed. With the help of a subtle irony, this ambiguity questions the role and preservation of places of memory within our society. And the C-Side Postproduction Prize for the best Swiss film of the First Step Section, worth CHF 5'000 to : MAN HASTAM (J’EXISTE – I AM) by Tara Parsa, Switzerland The Interreligious Jury, Prize of the Interreligious Jury for a feature film in the International Competition that sheds light on issues dealing with meaning and sense of direction of life, CHF 5'000 to : 900 DAGEN (900 DAYS) by Jessica Gorter, Netherlands Special mention to : DE REGELS VAN MATTHIJS (MATTHEW’S LAWS) by Marc Schmidt, Netherlands The Buyens-Chagoll Prize Jury, awards the Award Buyen s-Chagoll for a film of humanist dimension focusing on stories developing values that confer  meaning to the future of mankind, CHF 5'000 to : SNAKE DANCE by Manu Riche and Patrick Marnham, Belgium/Irland/Netherlands Audience Award of the City of Nyon for the best film of État d’Esprit section, CHF 10'000 to : LA VIERGE, LES COPTES ET MOI by Namir Abdel Messeh, France

It's the start of the pantomime season (oh, yet it is!) beginning with the Geneva Amateur Operatic Society's production of Sinbad the Sailor. The GAOS website says-  this "production  is packed with all the usual ingredients of a classic English pantomime: the struggle of good  overcoming evil, love at first sight, and loads of magic, songs, daft comedy and innuendo! Children of all ages will enjoy Sinbad's adventures as he lurches from one calamity to another in his attempts to rescue the beautiful Princess Yasmin from the clutches of the evil magician Vazar. On the way he also encounters a bloodthirsty pirate, a hideous sea-serpent and a giant man-eating bird. Come and watch as Sinbad, his resourceful pet monkey and his hapless gang of henchmen eventually triumph over adversity" The production will run on Friday 23rd, Sat 24th and Sunday 25th November and Friday 30th November.

Here are two more film reviews of films which will be screened on Tuesday 19th April at Visions du Réel. Both film reviews written by Suzy Nelson-Pollard. The first film comes with an "uplifting message", the second is an "important record of the PKK"  (the film was banned at the Istanbul Film Festival in 2015) Un Paese di Calabria – Peaceful relations between locals and migrants in the “city of the future” The world premier of Un Paese di Calabria by directors Shu Aiello and Catherine Catella was greeted with warm applause last night, as spectators appreciated the uplifting message of this Swiss-Italian film. The small town of Riace, in Calabria on the toe of Italy, is a sleepy place; goats climb the rocky hills and ricotta is made daily by hand by a farmers who’s fathers and forefathers were also ricotta farmers. Yet the town is plagued by Mafia crimes and lack of opportunities for the young, and over the past few decades young people have moved north to better opportunities. Widows dressed in black shuffle through the streets past abandoned apartments, lamenting the departure of life in the picturesque old town. Yet the destiny of Riace is unlike that of neighbouring towns slowly falling into decay as the local populations leave and die out. Refugees and migrants are arriving by boat, daily in the summer, having survived treacherous journeys across the Mediterranean. They arrive from various destinations, some of their friends or family having drowned on the way, some of the women pregnant after having being raped on their journeys. The left-wing mayor of Riace sees an opportunity in welcoming these people, and starts a project to renovate the abandoned flats and houses to house those in need. A respite from a hard journey is offered to the refugees and migrants, and a local teacher patiently gives Italian lessons to prepare them for the next bout of their journey. Two years of professional training and a stipend while living there is provided. Some of the travellers decide to stay in this peaceful community, such as one man who has lived in the town for eight years and who drinks his morning expresso stood up at the bar with the locals. He calls the region his “Second Kurdistan” due to the rolling hills and idyllic views. The population of Riace has increased from 900 to 2100 in the last 25 years. The community welcomes new faces and new life in the town. Baptisms are held in the Catholic Church, and the priest even invites a young Afghan girl and a Gambian man to recite Muslim prayers during mass. The Catholic worshippers don’t seem to bat an eye. When young men hold a noisy birthday party, they bring cake to the elderly neighbours, who praise their good hearts and good intentions. They say that Riace has flowered again, that it is a symbol of the city of the future. Elections roll around, and the work of the mayor and the future of the town could be in danger. Will the project continue, will the next mayor be as favourable to foreigners? Un Paese di Calabria will be shown again at 14:00 today the 19 th of April at the Théâtre de Marens.    Tickets here North (Bakur) – an important political film about the PKK and its manifesto This is an interesting fly-on-the-wall documentary about the PKK, the militant left-wing organization fighting oppression against the Kurds in Turkey. The film directed by Cayan Demirel and Ertugrul Mavioglu, runs through some of the history of the group, with insights into their view of the nation-state and the future for Kurds living across four countries. A mixture of interviews, recordings of training, daily preparations, discussions, tours of sleeping arrangements, camps and outdoor living, the film paints a well-rounded picture of the guerilla group. Women’s voices are strong, revealing the strong anti-oppression and anti-patriarchal position of the PKK. Although a bit slow at times, with many shots of preparing food or of soldiers smoking and hanging out, this is an important record of the PKK, as well as a controversial film in Turkey, having been banned at the Istanbul Film Festival last year. It will be shown again today, Tuesday the 19 th , at 18.00 at Theatre de Grand Champ in Gland. Tickets here
