We never made an interview with Indian handicapped person so were looking for some and found armless lady Swapna Augustine born in Paingottoor in Kerala´s Ernakulam district 43 years ago. Her mother was shocked when her first baby was born without hands since in late 70´s medical technology wasn´t as advanced as it is now and there were no means of scanning growing baby inside mother´s belly. Two sons and one daughter were born afterwards but were perfectly healthy. But young Swapna didn´t give up and tried to live a life as fully as possible and now she is well respected foot-painter. We really liked her amazing pictures and thanks to Ayswaya Pillai-coordinator of artists from Indian Mouth and Foot Painters Association (IMFPA) we managed to make an interview with her.
Still fighting 4 a future!
It has been a full year since we started wearing face masks and life has been badly restricted. Every day we read negative news about death, virus, more infected people, about accidents and also about government decisions which are often very antagonistic. There are no gigs, no film festivals, no theatre plays, no nothing, Culture is in standstill and slowly dies. We mustn´t allow that happen.
SF4AF! Multicultural section
Make an interview with Crass was for me like Mt. Everest is for mountain climbers, I always dreamt about it but never thought it will actually happen. But thanks to kind help and effort from Sid Truelove and Zillah Minx of Rubella Ballet and Steve Ignorants´s wife Jona, we managed to sit face to face (screen to screen) and talk for 40 minutes. Steve was very very kind and nice and answered everything I asked him so that was very fulfilling and I couldn´t ask for more.

Keir Dullea: I have never worked with anybody like Stanley Kubrick
American actor Keir Dullea was born on 30.5.1936 in Cleveland. His parents owned a bookshop in New York. Keir studied in Pennsylvania and then continued in San Francisco and after graduation he started flirting with acting. It was in 1960 and lasted over 60 years up until now. Mostly he was devoting his time to TV and theatre and made 30 films in all, but he became immortal thanks to lead in legendary movie 2001: Space Odyssey filmed by Stanley Kubrick in 1968. He repeated his character-astronaut David Bowman - in sequel, filmed in 1984.
Although 52 years passed since Kubrick´s cult movie, he has more fans around the world than ever before.Therefore he travels around the world alone or with his colleague Gary Lockwood and meet and talk to fans. Maybe that is why we have been waiting for his answers for 19 months but it was worth waiting for.
