From Vilnius, Lithuania, especially for L&F: with a tent, a sleeping bag, a flashlight and a map in a Lada Samara through Udmurtia, a sovereign republic within the Volga District of the Russian Federation, drugs and prostitution near Vilnius’ railway station and RasaJ and Egyboy show ‘Love’ on super 8. And: in a sailboat crossing the Atlantic searching for an island of plastic, a new pearl of the VHS collection and DJ Popshopsoukoussoundsystemcart.
Lost & Found is a night of stray images and sounds. The programme is compiled from received and selected material by Joris Lindhout and Julia van Mourik.

Bermuda Beach, January 2010

Throughout the world scientists, politicians and the fishing industry will meet to discuss our Oceans’ problems and to talk about the possible solutions to preserve wildlife, while at the same time fish economically and sustainably. The Netherlands too is celebrating World Ocean Day. Delft University of Technology and Erasmus University rotterdam are organising an international conference at the Oceanium of rotterdam Zoo on this special day.

In the evening a major event will be held in the auditorium of Erasmus University Rotterdam for the general public. In the aula, which accommodates 1,000 people, inspirational individuals associated with our ocean will take the stage: Fabien Cousteau (oceanographer and grandson of the legendary Jacques Cousteau), Captain Paul Watson (founder of Sea Shepherd and Greenpeace), David Doubilet (underwater photographer National Geographic), Maarten Vanden Eynde (Visual Artist of ‘Plastic Reef’) and Professor Dr. Michael Braungart (Cradle-to-Cradle) will share their visions regarding the ocean and in particular the opportunities it affords humanity and the entire planetary ecosystem.
