We demonstrate that extremely rapid and weak periodic and non-periodic signals can easily be detected by using the autocorrelation of intensity as a function of time. We use standard radio-astronomical observations that have artificial periodic and non-periodic signals generated by the electronics of terrestrial origin. The autocorrelation detects weak signals that have small amplitudes because it averages over long integration times. Another advantage is that it allows a direct visualization of the shape of the signals, while it is difficult to see the shape with a Fourier transform. Although Fourier transforms can also detect periodic signals, a novelty of this work is that we demonstrate another major advantage of the autocorrelation, that it can detect non-periodic signals while the Fourier transform cannot. Another major novelty of our work is that we use electric fields taken in a standard format with standard instrumentation at a radio observatory and therefore no specialized instrumentation is needed. Because the electric fields are sampled every 15.625 ns, they therefore allow detection of very rapid time variations. Notwithstanding the long integration times, the autocorrelation detects very rapid intensity variations as a function of time. The autocorrelation could also detect messages from Extraterrestrial Intelligence as non-periodic signals.

An entirely fresh and challenging response to the theme of the ‘banality of evil’, the film makes us see Nazism in a new light, but also asks us to think about our time and our own capacity to accept the unacceptable. 2. With multiple actors playing Dali, Dupieux’s structure channels Luis Buñuel in a labyrinth of sight gags, blind alleys and non sequitur invention. 3. Do Not Expect Too Much From The End Of The WorldDir.Radu Jude The most shape-shifting of Romanian directors is in bullishly provocative mode, unpicking the 21st-century European malaise in the story of a film worker, a corporate safety video, a cab driver in an early 1980s film and a scabrous TikTok routine.

Trenque Lauquen Dir. Laura Citarella From a member of Argentina’s experimental El Pampero Cine (La Flor, Ostende), a two-part, four-hour labyrinth of narrative about a missing woman, the men searching for her, an intrigue pieced together in radio programmes and old love letters and other elusive phenomena, set in an Argentinian backwater where mundanity exists alongside deep enigma. 3. Alcarrás Dir. Carla Simon The Berlin Golden Bear winner from the Catalan director of the autobiographical Summer 1993 — a rural drama about a family trying to hold on to its peach-farming heritage, while Europe’s economic landscape changes all around them. Performance of the year The ensemble non-professional cast in Under The Fig Trees Dir. Erige Sehiri The tradition of casting non-professionals never ceases to offer new surprises, and Under The Fig Trees is a singularly fresh example.

This triennium began with an action to re-create the Terms of Reference for the Working Group Global VLBI (WG-GV). These had been lost over the years since the Group was established in 1990. Fortunately, the personal archive of one long-term member yielded a copy of the original memorandum by R. D. Ekers, which was found to coincide quite well with current practice and areas of interest. New Terms of Reference, based on modern conditions, were drafted and accepted by both IAU and URSI.

Becoming a domestic unity by necessity, the pair undergo cycles of tenderness and stress, in a film that feels like The Exterminating Angel for our own strange era. The Velvet Underground Dir. Todd Haynes Whether or not it was the definitive Velvet Underground documentary that hardcore fans wanted, this vivid, erudite piece brought the band’s achievement alive in the context of New York’s 1960s crucible of experimentation — musical, painterly, artistic and sexual. Context Dir. Sergei Loznitsa Using archive footage from multiple sources, this is a sobering reconstruction of one of the great atrocities of the Second World War — and, the film argues, the real starting point for the Holocaust.

Ukrainian filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa has been a Cannes regular for the past decade, with three fiction features selected in Competition — My Joy in 2010, In The Fog in 2012 and A Gentle Creature in 2017 — while Donbass played Un Certain Regard in 2018, winning him the directing prize. There was also a newsreel showing episodes from this trial, and all mention of the Jews was edited out. [...]I’m doing another film for the Babi Yar Memorial, and we’re starting a documentary about Germany in World War Two and the Allied bombings of the German cities, based on WG Sebald’s essay On The Natural History Of Destruction.

In France, Lea Seydoux is a very big deal and, with a major role in the new James Bond film, \"Spectre\", she's about to become comparably prominent worldwide. In 2013, her fame at home soared when she starred in the lesbian drama \"Blue Is the Warmest Colour\", which won the Palme d'Or in Cannes. That year, she appeared on the front of so many French magazines that it became a running joke. As for her emerging icon status, it was endorsed by no less an authority than Cannes boss Thierry Fremaux, who has called her Bardot, plus Binoche, plus Kate Moss, and sometimes all three at once. Her full name is Lea Helene Seydoux-Fornier de Clausonne, and her background is indeed as grand as that might suggest. Her father, Henri Seydoux, is the CEO of electronics company Parrot, known for its Bluetooth, satellite navigators and drones. Her mother, Valerie Schlumberger, was a costume designer, novelist and actor before founding an eco-crafts company based in Senegal.
