The Xciting program schedule is almost completed. Time to introduce all artist. An exclusive start… Specially made for Xciting: the teaser of ‘Beware Of The Agent B‘. The first movie created by the legendary Cortex (Alex Buess/Roger Graf).
The film is a documentary drama about an undesirable, inhospitable world, kept on the verge of unreality. ‘a fictional time in the fairly near future…’

Considerable part of Portuguese population ‘presenting light symptoms of depression’
A considerable part of the Portuguese population are presenting “light symptoms of depression” due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This is one of the conclusions of an international study in which Portugal’s institute of investigation and innovation in health (i3s) at Porto University took part. The ‘Life with Corona’ study aims to “continue to evaluate the social and economic impact of the pandemic on a global scale”. Light symoptoms sounds reaonable given the cataclysmic effects on everyday life: it is only further down in reports published today that investigators admit “around 50% of people quizzed in Portugal, Argentina, Indonesia, the UK and US, as well as 40% of Germans “showed more serious symptoms of depression”.
