Tim Dirven won a World Press Photo Award with his picture of an Afghan woman, taken shortly after 9/11. Another photo of dancing flight attendants on a KLM airplane became famous after being bought by people around the world. Tim Dirven has been capturing iconic images for over 20 years. He defines his collected works as Karkas (carcass), because it centralises the architecture of man and animal, defining the essence of bodily existence. When everything has been eaten, the carcass is all that is left behind: the last witness. Similarly, this book is a search for the essence of existence. Dirven portrays no-nonsense people hardened by life, who are trying to find balance in an often insecure religious, cultural, political and ecological context.

French film makers Gustave de Kervern and Benoit Delepine write and direct this absurdist black comedy. When the factory where she works closes overnight, ex-con cross-dresser Louise (Yolande Moreau) comes up with the idea that the workers pool their compensation money and use it to hire a hitman to take out their uncaring boss. Security guard Michel (Bouli Lanners) seems like the ideal man to carry out the job. But the plan comes wildly unstuck as Michel turns out to be woefully inept as a hired assassin, and it becomes increasingly difficult for the workers to identify exactly which capitalist culprit made the final decision to close the factory.
