#Bales2025FilmChallenge of April 21: Elvis, or a hotel
Hotel of the Stars (Jon Bang Carlsen, 1981)
Once home to the stars, #Hollywood's crumbling Montecito Hotel is now populated by drug dealers, prostitutes and the Tinseltown hopeful — extras hoping for that big break. They play the bit parts of their own re-enacted lives and dreams – some imagined, some real – whatever that may mean in Hollywood.

In Dejlig er den himmel blå [Lovely Is the Blue Sky] (Jon Bang Carlsen, 1975), more and more #Santas of all ages and genders descend on #Copenhagen, bringing cheer and World Peace™ to delighted shoppers. Until they occupy a factory in support of fired workers, and hand out wares in the local department store. #Anarchy ensues, children cry, mission accomplished.

#Bales2023FilmChallenge May 19: An activist on #MalcolmXDay
'Twas the week before Xmas & Santa Claus arrives. An army of Santas bring cheer, song & hot cocoa to delighted shoppers, then visit the shutdown GM factory. Day 7 Santa visits Magasin & in the true spirit of Xmas hands out books. Staff starts pummelling the Santas, ripping off beards. Children, in tears, their dreams of a just world shattered.
