We would like to tell you that since we last met our hero (season 1), he had found the road to Damascus instead of the road to perdition; he has learned to love wisely instead of too often and that it paid off to go another 25 grand into debt to back a ‘sure thing’ at Moonee Valley. Sadly, that epicentre of chaos otherwise known as Cleaver Greene, has learned nothing in this time and has not changed a whit. If anything, he’s a little worse. Like any genuine addict, Cleaver is on a constant search for faster rushes. UPF shelf location PN1992.13 .I56 2013 v. 49 Shop steward Liselott Forsmann Lucia Haslauer

Quim and Zé are the two rednecks that present this TV news journal and they are very proud of it! An easy way to imagine what Rural News is like is to imgagine how a TV news journal from Asterix’s virtual village wouldbe like, with Asterix and Obelix as the TV news pilots.

His parents are locked out, and he is stuck inside a house in turmoil as an invisible shackle silently suffocates the family. What Xiao Nan ‘sees’ and ‘hears’ in his mind become disorienting commands where truth is difficult to separate from fiction. Can Xiao Nan find the way out? Shackled deals with children coming face-to-face with their parents’ frustration of estrangement and the shaping of learned behaviour akin to animal training. Through the use of photography and post-production special effects, the resultant surrealism depicts the child’s subtly complex inner thoughts, memories and psychology interlaced with fantasy and reality.
