Every year, Periferiak collects the thoughts and actions of people and experiences in the periphery.

AEON FLUX

A new movie called Aeon Flux has recently arrived in our near theatres. If any of you already watched the movie, that’s what you probably thought: No fun, no critic, nothing new. We also think that way. However, this movie has provided us with something interesting, fun, critical and new: the chance to publish on DVD the animation series in which it was based. Around the 90s, Aeon Flux was shown as part of the animation program, Liquid Television that the MTV broadcasted. Later, it turned into a series. As we said, this is the positive aspect that the premiere of this movie has. Ignore the movie and enjoy the animation DVD.

MURDERBALL

By now, it is not unusual for us to see disabled people doing sport. However, Murderball is unusual for us. Murdeball is rugby played on a wheelchair. We get goose bump when we see these gladiators in their chariots having a go at each other. There are many elements of classical movies in this documentary: the family, strength, honor, revenge, sex and violence that will harden your nipples.

LOGO

Logos are important. It´s important what they say and what they suggest. No, it´s not what you´re thinking. Or is it? We keep on investigating if Arlington Pediatric Center is one of Michael Jacksons enterprises.

DIGITAL AESTHETIC SURGERY

“The 95% of the pictures that get to a newspaper or another medium is modified” Glenn Feron says and he should be believed because he is the artist that “arranges” the pictures of many stars. Since we visited his web page, we got rid of some complexes but a question still remains: Does truth exist since Photoshop?

SIX FEET UNDER

This TV series has had to deal with the bad way in which the Spanish TV has treated it. The first episodes were innovative and as time went by, although it turned into a kind of soap opera, we won’t deny that it has had its own way of being. It’s been advertised that the 5th season will be the last one. And it doesn’t look like having a happy ending.

USB TUNNING

Those who work in a computer all day long know that there are many boring moments while waiting for some documents to download. We have seen many ways to deal with this boredom. The last we discovered is tuning USB pen drives. It’s cheap to personalize this indispensable tool that doesn’t necessarily need to match our clothes or hairstyle.

BREAK ON STAGE. MAY 13 EUSKALDUNA AUDITORIUM

The most important European break dance contest is held in the Basque Country. The most bold and skillful break dancers will participate in this outstanding show. Getting the street culture in a stage just for one day is not a contradiction. It’s the contrary. Break on Stage shows that the street performance is the best way for a change of scene in many serious theater and auditoriums.
