Often mentioned alongside Ingmar Bergman, master director Roy Andersson completes his “living” trilogy following Songs from the Second Floor (2000) and You, the Living (2007). The film follows two world-weary travelling salesmen–like modern times’ Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, they provide an insight into a chaotic world of the present, past and future. At once absurd, harsh, surreal, raging, darkly comic, and disturbing, A Pigeon... reminds us of the grandeur of life, the vulnerability of man and its impending doom, like a pigeon perched on a branch.

In 1493, exactly 500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci was finishing the preparations for casting the equestrian monument (4 times life size), which Ludovico il Moro, Duke of Milan commissioned in memory of his father some 12 years earlier.
Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
