The arrival of the taxi app Uber is causing anger among existing taxi drivers. If the police do not intervene, they take matters into their own hands. In Taxibotsing, Frans Bromet follows the battle waged by the established taxi world against Uber, a small online program that aims to eventually dominate the Dutch transport market. The battle is being fought on various levels. While the courts must determine whether the UberPop service is illegal (because drivers lack a license or do not pay taxes), the newcomer is an unpleasant reality for established taxi drivers. Livelihood theft, as well as resentment over colleagues going to work for the despised enemy, is turning the atmosphere on the streets grim.

Every woman should have the tools to take control of her life poster

"Her accent is the only thing we know about her. Her reputation has been made by transforming complex situations into simple objects. She revolve around consortiums, hubs and other fluctuating mega-structures. We own her some essential directions taken by our society during the last years. A daily basis that mean the thing should be resolved in the current day." "Every woman should have the tools to take control of her life" was shot in the old headquarters of IBM Europe in Brussels, which has since become a wellness hotel for executives located in the Sonian Forest, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The film was made in the conditions of a team-building because no authorization has been clearly given to film in the hotel. The situation revolves around a video message from European Commissioner Neelie Kroes (link) about women in the IT (Creative Commons).
