Setouchi Triennale - Art-island hopping

The Seto Inland Sea is surrounded by 3 of Japan's 4 main islands - Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu. An international art festival called the Setouchi Triennale takes place on several of the 727 islands scattered across the sea. Our traveler this time is documentary film director Soraya Umewaka. She first stops by Ogijima Island, where she discovers functional artworks. They are colorful "onba" strollers, which residents use to transport items along narrow streets. She next visits Ibukijima Island, which is famous for its dried sardines called "iriko". There she appreciates the installation, "Unsinkable Ship", which represents the dynamism of schools of fish. Finally, she takes in Teshima - an Island that was ravaged by illegal industrial waste disposal. Recovered from its negative image, Soraya finds world-class art, rejuvenated nature and delicious cuisine prepared with local ingredients.

Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire

Based on Anne Rice's iconic and bestselling novel, Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire follows Louis de Pointe, Lestat de Lioncourt and Claudia's epic story of love, blood and the perils of immortality, as told to the journalist Daniel Molloy. Chafing at the limitations of life as a Black man in New Orleans in the early 1900s, Louis finds it impossible to resist the rakish Lestat de Lioncourt's offer of the ultimate escape: joining him as his vampire companion. But Louis's intoxicating new powers come with a violent price, and the introduction of Lestat's newest fledgling, the child vampire Claudia, soon sets them on a decades-long path of revenge and atonement.
