Film
The public has lost the habit of movie-going because the cinema no longer possesses the charm, the hypnotic charisma, the authority it once commanded.

Is it still possible that one thousand people might group together in the dark and experience the dream that a single individual has directed?
Federico Fellini [on the Decline of Cinema], a Fellini Lexicon, (1992).
A recent EU-funded initiative has developed technologies and tools for rehabilitating and managing polluted freshwater systems.
