...Leipzig, Oct. 27-Nov. 2 One of the largest documentary festivals in Europe, the International Leipzig Festival for Documentary and Animated Film - or DOK Leipzig - began as the first independent film festival of the German Democratic Republic. This year, in line with its aim to host works "advocating peace and human dignity," the program includes a retrospective of German films about exile, asylum, migration and integration. There are also documentaries from and about Africa and new nonfiction films from Afghanistan. If cinema can change the world, this is where it starts...

The system is simple: The duo will locate an appropriate building or structure (avoiding buildings with windows to prevent any accidental laser-eye injuries) and aim the projector at the surface; with each flick of the laser pointer, the computer software registers a streak of light (see the equipment).

This twin clarion call - to Christians who have lost their religious passion and Muslims who may have too much - was supposed to create a "more frank" dialogue among the world's two leading faiths. After the uproar quieted, there has indeed...
...with France's lamentable economic situation, may leave Sarkozy no option but to return again to the front lines of government. His cost-cutting announcements this week involved just a few of the 166 programs he's targeted to claw back over $10 billion in annual spending, with the aim of balancing the French budget by 2012. That will provoke considerable pain and resistance from the public, and doubtless more slides in polls. That, in short, is Sarkozy's dilemma: to be an effective, decisive leader, he'll also have to be a very unpopular...
