It is always difficult to choose a place for an ideal date: a walk in the park, dinner in a cozy restaurant, or, perhaps, two tickets to a concert or to the theater. Even the cinema kissing spots on the back row have long become a familiar urban romance. Although cinemas nowadays are different: stationary, automobile and even … floating. "Archipelago Cinema" - first cinema built in the ocean for the Film on the Rocks Film Festival!
The film festival was held at the popular Thailand resort Six Senses Yao Noi, attracting a large audience. The unique cinema was designed by the German architect Ole Scheeren: in one of the lagoons, he installed an auditorium, and 50 meters from it, near two rocks, he placed a huge screen. The cinema hall was located on several rafts, which Shiren created, guided by the experience of local fishermen.
The individual blocks of wood were held together with rubber straps and drifted into the lagoon. The architect intended to create in the audience a sense of the fleetingness, the randomness of what is happening. In his opinion, in the middle of the ocean, people perceive films in a completely different way, more organically. The drifting rafts were designed to resemble the Yao Noi archipelago itself, repeating perfect natural forms. Unfortunately, after the end of the film festival, local fishermen disassembled them for their own needs and use them to catch lobsters.
And for those who do not have the time or opportunity for long journeys, a home cinema is a great alternative to a floating cinema in Thailand. After all, as he said Alfred Hitchcock, the film is a life with which boredom stains have been brought out!

How Utyosov made Stalin cry and why he burned the first copies of his first book
Leonid Osipovich Utyosov became a legend during his lifetime. He was the first in many ways. He was the first to perform works by Babel, Bagritsky and Zoshchenko, created his own "Tea Jazz", which after only five years received the status of the State, was the first to bring musicians from the orchestra pit to the stage, and the first pop artist to receive the title of People's. And Leonid Utyosov was always a very honest person. He never hid the fact that during the years of repression he was desperately afraid of Stalin, especially after
Where did the first Russian snipers come from, and why did the enemy drummers get the first bullet?
It is impossible to establish the exact time period for the appearance of snipers. The closest thing to the truth is the statement that the jaeger military units stood at the origins of the sniper craft. During the rule of linear tactics, these units were formed by the most well-aimed marksmen, who operated in loose combat. The first jaeger battalion in the army ranks appeared in Russia in 1764. And although the gamekeepers are considered the predecessors of modern snipers, there was a significant difference between them
