house party in either sense of the word Diskotheca events are pulling in crowds of hundreds in Hong Kong It was nice to sit down and chat with him again In what was – and I truly mean this in the most endearing way possible — typical Leo fashion we warmed ourselves up by chatting about Leo’s recent excursions hopping around China the Beijing underground scene is “fire,” but as someone who self-purportedly lives at night he told me he couldn’t judge Shanghai properly without having seen its bars and clubs It was then I was reminded of the personality responsible for the local nightlife staple turned miraculous international hit Leo isn’t the least bit shy about himself or what he wants The man is always on the move and sports a sense of personal agency to marvel at Our 45-minute conversation has been edited for brevity though I suppose it seemed like a solid basis to begin with I drop out of school – I’m doing the IB I float around from random gig to random gig in London I guess that’s where that seed of nightlife germinated in me.”   When he figured out he should probably go to university he arrived and found little in the way of house music He did a bit of work for Access in his second year and the Leamington music scene was a tad fragmented was also a little tired of our weekly Altoria trips “I still to this day prefer house parties to club parties You’re not paying out your arse for drinks He knew the house-at-home idea could work when he did his birthday party on 21 November 2023 I was there sporting my Hawaiian shirt and cargos in the two-degree weather after he mixed at a German Society house party the following January amassed a small band of “Italian hype men,” as he called it – but he quickly stopped himself: “Actually one’s Finnish he just hangs out with Italians.” Such is life at Warwick “Diskotheca would be nothing without them.”  Through a new Instagram account (@diskotheca) Their later parties followed a winningly neat formula of intimate venues (student houses) The rest of the questions we banged out rather quickly You gotta have the balls to go and get it.”  “A guy I knew from Access had thrown a party there and he gave me a minimum spend that wasn’t too crazy.”  Leo was gauging interest through massive WhatsApp communities He sent out announcements and made his own chats I’m looking at when the student parties are They’re not going to give a sh-t what the party is – they just need a party.”  “Loyalty to the brand.” This was all organised before he even touched Hong Kong soil Selling to their face is counterintuitive.” As you’ll find What was your ‘monumental’ moment with Diskotheca “When we opened the ticket sale for our Halloween event in Hong Kong and sold 200 tickets in about 15 minutes.”   That event’s total turnout was near 450 people he was legitimately nervous people wouldn’t turn up How does Diskotheca exist within the student life here at Warwick We are dedicated to the brand of the house party.”

eye-opening The Big Chief deploys a wealth of expertly edited archive material to chart Trepper’s journey from mastermind of the wartime Soviet intelligence network The Red Orchestra to house arrest in 1970s Poland His lengthy spells at the mercy of state oppression and anti-Semitism place him firmly in the tumult of twentieth century politics and make for a documentary as gripping as any John Le Carre fiction.  Wolski has built a reputation for his creative use of archive material to illuminate key moments in Poland’s past most recently in 1970 (2021) and A Year In The Life Of A Country (2024) which covered the imposition of martial law in 1981 The Big Chief is no exception but extends the reach to encompass an impressive global array of both black and white and colour footage from such diverse sources as Eva Braun’s home movies Sergei Loznitsa’s State Funeral (2019) and a variety of news agencies.  He begins by providing some context to 1960s Poland under First Secretary Gomulka, explaining how anti-Semitism was increasingly used for political gain by the Communist regime Jewish citizens were removed from high-ranking state positions The state denied Trepper the luxury of leaving his homeland follows French journalist Pierre Elkabbach as he arrives in Poland in 1972 to interview Trepper His footage is confiscated before he leaves and believed destroyed before being subsequently discovered in Polish archives We can now see his shots of drab city streets where citizens hide their faces from the camera’s gaze Elkabbach and his team are aware they are being followed and are encouraged to film official rallies populated by enthusiastic crowds and dancers in national costume We can also see excerpts from the hour-long interview with Trepper who claims that he was never a spy but was “active in Nazi occupied France and Belgium” we learn how Trepper arrived in Brussels to establish The Red Orchestra a network reporting to Soviet Russia as the clouds of war gathered in Europe He established a small export/import company The information he provided is said to have been responsible for 300,000 German casualties Trepper was arrested by the Gestapo in November 1942 and subsequently worked for the Germans There is some debate over whether he was a double-agent and how he survived when others were tortured and killed Trepper’s story is full of unexpected twists from his return to Moscow in 1945 and subsequent arrest and imprisonment by Stalin’s regime to his position in 1970s Poland where he was refused permission to join his family in Jerusalem The footage is extraordinary throughout,  balancing desperate moments in ordinary wartime lives – the search for food executions and hangings – with glimpses of the era’s most notorious leaders whether an off-duty Hitler or Stalin’s body lying in state They provide the vivid background whilst multiple interviews allow Trepper’s own words to outline where he fits in that bigger fresco of global events Wolski includes poignant then and now interviews with Trepper’s lawyer Daniel Soulez-Lariviere (who died in 2022) and journalist Gilles Perrault (who died in 2023) who published the book L’Orchestre Rouge in 1967 and yet there is still something essentially enigmatic about him Wolski devotes the film’s final chapter to a selection of robust television debates in which Trepper defends himself against hostile individuals who assert that his anti-fascist heroism was more self-serving Bookmark this page to keep track of all the latest festival dates CAD $90,000 in cash and

the local economy is strong as a lot of jobs are there “It’s got a higher level of affordability than central Melbourne; all those things make Geelong desirable for both homebuyers and also for investor buyers.” Leopold recorded six consecutive quarters of growth in sales activity Hayden Leopold director Karen Purcell said the Bellarine Peninsula town had become popular with first-home

really well,” Ms Purcell said She said the wide spread of property eras available in Leopold was an attractive to a broad demographic of people “You’ve got people that have been here for a long time

McLaughlin said the Leopold Angling and Aquatic Club’s origins could be traced to December 18 when Mr More – a noted developer and landowner in the town – held an open day for the leisure park project in Leopold “He ran into current president Murray McLaren and said ‘We should start a fishing club’ and that’s when the fishing club was born and that vision was to create a club for like-minded people that supported the local community to celebrate a really significant milestone in the journey with that vision now being a reality.” He referenced the famous line from Hollywood film Field of Dreams: “If you build it “To have this many people attend today’s official opening of this magnificent facility is testament to Dennis and his vision for the community of Leopold.” Club vice-president Terry Whitehead acknowledged the many existing and previous club members supporters and sponsors that had helped make the clubhouse happen He said Mr More had widened a canal on his land in 2005 without seeking authority first from the council which ended up in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal “Dennis would say ‘It’s easy to do things without permission and beg forgiveness later’ – a mantra I came to see with Dennis on a few occasions.” offers its members an association that provides direction leadership and commitment to the safe enjoyment of the waters of Corio Bay via foreshore
